I'm considering getting the D&D Token Packs and Map Packs but want to use them in other systems. Are the modules for these packs set to D&D system only or can I load them in, say, Pathfinder without having to use the "Load Modules from Other Systems" add-on?

Generally if the tokens or maps are useable in other rulesets they will be described as generic add ons. If they specify 5e then it is likely they can’t be used in other systems. Which ones did you have in mind?

Even if they were tagged as 5E only, you could use this extension to load them up and use the generic (none 5E specific) "stuff" in another ruleset: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?41034-Universal-Module-Extension

Yeah, I know about that extension (just makes things...messy...). Re-reading the descriptions, these products are implied to be essentially edition-free since they are pulled from 4e: Tokens 1 (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store/product.php?id=WOTCTokensVol1), Tokens 2 (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store/product.php?id=WOTCTokensVol2) - and the map pack requires 5e: Map Pack (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store/product.php?id=WOTCMapPackVolume1).

Yeah, well - it gives you access to all of the material you've purchased in any ruleset - borrow maps, flavour images, tokens, portraits from other products... Worth the "mess" IMO and wouldn't stop me from purchasing a map pack that is tagged for a specific ruleset that I'm wanting to use it in another ruleset. But, up to you, YMMV.


... and the map pack requires 5e: Map Pack (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store/product.php?id=WOTCMapPackVolume1).
The product page is incorrect. It can be loaded in other rulesets. I've just tested with PFRPG2 (without the Universal Module extension loaded).

Cool, thanks!
