I have purchased "Fantasy Grounds - Call of Cthulhu Ruleset" and "Fantasy Grounds Mongoose Traveller 2E ruleset". Plus I have the full (non demo) version of Fantasy Grounds. I am unable to leave a review for these items, but I can leave a review for other DLCs I have purchased.

If I click Play from these DLC pages I get a steam error "An error occurred while launching this game: No licenses". If I click Play on the steam page of any of the DLC that I can write reviews for then Fantasy Grounds will launch with no issue. I'm guessing this is a Steam end error, but you can't get support for DLCs easily through Steam. The license for both titles show up in my account on this site as well as within Fantasy Grounds app, but they seem like they are missing content (very barebones)

Not sure how big of an issue or if other DLCs have the same problem, but figured I'd bring it up.

I suspect that it's because those are rulesets rather than modules. I'm surprised actually that you can run FGVTT by clicking on any kind of DLC.

This may be related to these two rulesets being initially released on Fantasy Grounds Classic - looking at both listings they are under the Fantasy Grounds Classic path, even though the page says you can use Classic or Unity, the "play" button is probably trying to launch Fantasy Grounds Classic, hence the message.

This issue will only really stop you from leaving a review, it won't impact your ability to use these products in Fantasy Grounds Unity as they are downloaded via the FG Update, not Steam. If you've purchased recently and have linked your Steam account to your FG account, run an update and then start FG as normal and create a campaign using the relevant ruleset.
