View Full Version : Story Subfolders

Hello.

is there a way to "nest" in subfolders the content in the Story tab?

I mean it seems the story has only 1 level, so if I create a Story , I can just place there other 1 level of stories.

It seems subfolders are not in the design?

I lose a lot of time while DMing finding the right document, as running an hexcrawl in DCC RPG I need to have things ready at hand.

Any way to make things easier?

Thanks

Label them as chapters?

The recommended thing to do is pin your story entries to the hex that they refer to.

If you want stories in a kind of order then as suggested use the Group drop down to create groups and put your stories into them. You should also number the stories like so: 01.01 <story name> this represents chapter 1 story 1 chapter 2 story 15 would be 02.15. You can go to even more granular by adding another point and two more decimals (01.01.01).

But I would recommend actually using books now rather than stories. You can index much more easily and have proper chapters, subchapters, and pages.

But pinning either stories or book pages to the relevant hex is the way to get to where you need quickly.

Ok, I never tried using books, I will look into it.

I am using FG since 2016 but still I feel quite a noob on it. And even though I had a course on Fantasy Grounds Academy once.

Still great software , imho very underrated compared to other VTT.

Thanks from Italy

See video twenty six here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?55797-How-do-I-in-Unity for an overview of how to create a book. The interface has changed a little since I made the video but the principle is the same.
