Greetings everyone,

I recently purchased FG2 for my geographically-challenged PnP group. We currently use HeroForge for creating and storing characters.

Has anyone tried importing character data from HeroForge (or any other third-party app) into Fantasy Grounds? Is something like this even do-able?

Thanks,

-Drew

I do not believe there is any character generator that makes data importable into FG for a player character.

Something like this is very doable as the PC's are in xml. It's just it would be tedious to do and I don't know many who like writing parsing routines.

I feel the "time to make" vs. "reward benifit" would be low on this. It doesn't take that much time to get your Heroforge characters typed into FG compared to the time it would take to make the translator. Your guys should be able to type a Heroforge character into FG in 30 minutes or less.
