Feature wish list request:
- Could the party sheet display current levels of Hope, Total Hope, and Shadow? This would make distributing Fellowship Points and restoring Hope easier.
- Could it do the same for Endurance and Fatigue? Alternatively, could the Player view of the Combat tracker have an option to display this?
I'm coming back to FG and with the recent events, our TOR game has been put on hold. Then I saw this ruleset. Nicely done! Thanks for all the work you've put into this.
In the earlier version of the ruleset, there was a stubbed version of the TOR rules. But I notice in this new ruleset, I can't activate that module. I was thinking of customizing the XML to add info just for our group, including common abilities, traits, etc. I still have the older TOR player mod file, but I can't load in this new ruleset.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Yes you can do this for personal use (not to share) if you own the rules personally.Quote:

Thanks. I do own the rules, and I'd only use it for our game, not to share.Quote:

Also, it looks like attacks & defense is not automatically calculated when rolling the dice, correct? That'd be a nice feature, but manually doing isn't a problem since that's what we do in person. :)
create one piece of new info for each category in FG.
/export
in the chat and export everything to a module
crack open the module and look at the xml
that is the format your data library requires
Thanks, Damned.
I figured it out. I opened the definition.xml from the older TOR player mod and changed the <ruleset> to TheOneRing, and the module was then available for me to load. I can modify the common.xml to add my info.
I've got this loaded up. Really nice buttons and links, everything. Thanks for this!Quote:

For tracking Fellowship Points & Success Dice for an encounter, what do folks find works best? I can see tracking them as a Public Note or possibly in the Party Sheet.
Thanks!
BTW, Torment, I really like your theme. Nice job.
For additional success dice, just roll the extra d6 from the dice below the chat window and add it to the total of your skill roll. You should have declared how many additional success dice you are using to the GM before rolling. Alternatively, you could temporarily up the skill score by the number of additional dice being used.
Same for virtues or blessings that ask you to roll an extra feat die and select the higher roll. Just roll the d12 from below the chat window.
I use a public note, but would like to add this to the party sheet at some point now the ruleset base is CoreRPG.Quote:

I'm going to check out and play around to it! Thank you to everyone that has worked on this and added to it!
I'm in the Unity Beta, will this work for it? I uploaded "TheOneRing" Pak and grabbed my old TOR PLAYER MOD that I had added all the rules to (I own the book) and it just won't show up in Unity (yes, I placed it in the MOD folder). I did changed the ruleset name in the definition.xml to "TheOneRing", saved it, re-zipped and changed to .mod. Won't appear.
Here's the definition for mine:
Check the zipped version. You need to zip from within the folder, not the folder itself.Code:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<root>
<name>Adventurer</name>
<author>Cubicle 7 Entertainment Ltd.</author>
<ruleset>foundations_core</ruleset>
<ruleset>fcore-TOR</ruleset>
<ruleset>TheOneRing</ruleset>
</root>
Thank you Valarian.
I feel like an idiot as I didn't zip it within the folder, which you told me years ago to do! Works like a charm!
I've done that myself. All very confusing stuff that punishes any skipped beat on the details....Quote:

All seems to work ok bar the nice TOR dice graphics and fonts, still shows standard nos, seems to be a common issue with other extentions I have FGC to FGU (fonts are an issue)
I did have it working in Unity at one point, without the dice graphics, though I've not had the time to check recently. It looks as though updates have broken it again.
You might have to rename the dice like d604, d605 etc from memory...Quote:

It's a known FGU issue. Custom dice graphics are not showing up in FGU.
[FGU-614] - Custom die asset icons not being displayed in chat window results (One Ring ruleset)
Also known as an issue in FGU:
[FGU-598] - onDoubleClick not working in One Ring ruleset

Well replacing "." with a "0" and an "r" both got rid of error messages and the base dice image is using the Required JPG but the results are just basic font over top not the required JPG.

There's currently a bypass in the dice handlers for Unity that shows a numeric result rather than the custom die.Quote:

Also trying to get Tolkien languages working in FGU.
Ive swapped out the fgf ronts for similar ttf fonts and added these into my copy of the extention along with following change
<font name="Westron">
<ttf file="fonts/Aniron.ttf" name="Aniron" size="14" />
<color value="000000" />
</font>
<font name="Quenya">
<ttf file="fonts/Quenya.ttf" name="Tengwar Quenya" size="18" />
<color value="#000000" />
</font>
<font name="Sindarin">
<ttf file="fonts/Sindar.ttf" name="Tengwar Sindarin" size="18" />
<color value="#000000" />
</font>
<font name="Khuzdul">
<ttf file="fonts/Erebor.ttf" name="Cirth Erebor" size="18" />
<color value="#000000" />
</font>
<font name="Rohirric">
<ttf file="fonts/Runes.ttf" name="Standard Celtic Runes" size="14" />
<color value="#000000" />
</font>
<font name="noneoftheabove">/
<ttf file="fonts/Visitor.ttf" name="Wizard Of The Moon" size="14" />
<color value="#000000" />
</font>
Strangely getting some different effects with the chat box, some fonts work fine others overlap the chat box. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this.
I tried changing font sizes but made no difference.

Hi all! I posted this elsewhere and have been directed to here as the best place to post the question.
Original post
In short, how are you getting Characters, NPC's and Enemies into your campaign? Aknowledging Hector Trelane's point regarding copyright when answering my original post, does each of you maually add Enemies one by one as needed, referencing your books?
Thanks for any advice, link to tools or whatever you suggest to use.
Cheers!
Oh, I'll add that I'm content to add Characters, NPC's and Enemies manaully as needed, if thats the best way to do it...just looking for confirmation that this is the way forward before I begin.
:)
So glad to have found this ruleset and hopeful I can share it with friends soon! :)
Create a campaign purely for entering NPCs and use the export function to export them as a module. You can then use the module as a reference for your actual campaign.
Same with stories. Create a campaign to prepare your adventure and then export it for use in the campaign you use for actual game sessions.
Following up on Valarian's comments, see the Adventure Module Creation link in my sig. You can then create your own modules of data and update them as desired.
Thanks Valarian, thanks LordEntrails, I appreciate the time you took to point me in the right direction.
Happy gaming and stay safe!
Following up to again say thanks for an amazing ruleset for TOR; I'm busy adding content to my campaign and am really enjoying it. LordEntrails doc for best practices on Adventure Module Creation has also been very helpful, so again, thanks.
I've run into an issue where I cannot access the Character Fatigue cell to change its value, and wonder if I'm missing something? Is this derived from some other cells not yet found?
Attachment 33173
Annnd in keeping with the rule that you can't make something work until you ask someone to look over your shoulder, I've solved this.
For anyone stumbling on this in the future, once the Inventory tab is filled out and the Item listed is set to 'Equipped' the Total weight carried cell updates and becomes your Fatigue. In this case Weight is the same as Encumbrance.
I suppose to handle Fatigue from Travel you can add an 'Item' called 'Fatigue from Travel' and update it as this increases?
Attachment 33176
You got it. Equip Summer or Winter Travel Gear as needed but initially mark it 0 or uncarried. When a Character fails his/her first Fatigue test, mark it as 1 instance of Travel Gear carried. When failing the second time, mark it as two items of Travel Gear carried, and so forth. Note that if ponies or boats are used, travel gear is one encumbrance lighter, and you'll need to type in the correct value manually.Quote:
Originally Posted by SOS John
Yes, as Hector explained above, you add inventory items for the fatigue penalties. When the first travel roll incurs a penalty, equip the relevant inventory item. For subsequent travel penalties, increase the number in the # column.Quote:
Originally Posted by SOS John

You need to edit the weight on the item created when you generate the inventory line though as the weight value on the CoreRPG inventory tab doesn't seem to like negative values.
