Please, implement this. Why is it necessary to download everything locally? If one is conducting a campaign with a given system, why should he host locally files for the other games he purchased. It makes no sense whatsoever. It's a total waste of space.

The space for the rulesets is very minimal; and it is necessary to ensure that prerequisite issues don’t arise across DLC, extensions and layered rulesets.

The best place for feature requests is the FG wishlist. Please add your request here: https://fgapp.idea.informer.com/ Thanks!

Once added, you can provide a link to your idea in this thread so that others can vote for it.

Thanks for the link, Trenloe. I wasn't aware of that tool.

For Moon Wizard: I am not talking about rulesets. I am talking about modules, content generally speaking. Don't assume about how much money people can end up spending on FG. Having gigabytes (plural) taken by content you are not currently using does not make sense.

Edit: found this already open suggestion and voted for it https://fgapp.idea.informer.com/proj/?ia=135557

I agree with that. I have purchased enough content that sometimes, when FGU updates, it can take several minutes to pull down all the D&D, AD&D, Pathfinder modules/adventures/extra content that I purchased and played ages ago just because they all got some minor update in the last week, even though for the next couple of month I'll be running, say, the Dungeon Of The Mad Mage adventure exclusively.

Right, I forgot to touch the point that probably irks me the most. Time needed to update stuff. Thanks for raising it.
