I'm working on importing a custom setting of mine to FGU. I'm dying entering each, and, every, individual, weapon, one, by, one... to the Starfinder rule set. Is there any utility for importing like, 100s of items at once from just text? I have everything as google doc write ups containing a sheet or two, mimicking an official rule book. Please, for the love of god, tell me there's anything at all that's easier than manual entry one by one in FGU.

When asking for information, please ensure you also include the ruleset you are asking about. There are many rulesets available and each may have a different approach. As for the fastest way, without directly changing the campaign db.xml without the session running, it would be entering them directly into FG. Some rulesets have some tools that could make it easier, but I'm not sure of their names. Others may chime in to offer their suggestions.

Whoops! I thought I did, sorry. Edited main post. I'm importing for Starfinder rules, BTW.

I'm not aware of any extensions or utilities to assist with Starfinder. As I mentioned, you might be able to enter your equipment directly into your campaign's db.xml if you are familiar with XML and understand how the file is setup.

I am not. Thank you.

Maybe give all the equipment to a character. Then export character out and import in new campaign and copy items out?
