View Full Version : Converting a product from one ruleset to another

I have Dungeons of Drakkenheim, which is a 5e product and I want to convert it to Draw Steel. What's the easiest way to do this?

I would imagine the following:

1. Open up DoD in FG with no modules attached.
2. Export it with a different name.
3. I'm only guessing here, but is there a change to an xml file I have to make to be able to open it within the Draw Steel Ruleset? (Right now DoD will only open in a 5E ruleset.)
4. Make the edits I want---change 5E monsters with DS monsters.

Is this correct? If I'm right on point 3, can someone help me with the correct xml page and what to put there?

Note: This is only for me and my players, not for distribution.

Thanks in advance.

Make a new campaign in the new ruleset and then use Universal Module loader to load the module from the other ruleset. That will give a lot of help but encounters, NPCs etc., will need to be re-done.

That product might very well be in the Vault and thus uneditable.

Using the Universal Module extension (FG Forge - View Item (https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/266/view)) allows you to open up any module in any ruleset.

Not everything will work given the differences in rulesets but all the images, stories, books, etc will.
