Hello I need some help. I am new and I am not able to get my starfinder book uploaded. To use on. My fantasy ground app on my computer. I did everything I could to get it to work can someone please help me.
Welcome GreatRedDragonhunter
Please go here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store/orders.xcp
and check what purchases you have. Is your Starfinder showing up here?
If you bought a physical Starfinder book you dont get any FG inclusions with it.
If you bought a Starfinder PDF from Paizo you can get the cost of that PDF credited against the Starfinder ruleset here on Fantasy Grounds.
The instructions are in this link: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store...ZOSMWPZO7101FG
If the issue is something else please let us know.
Is there any schedule when we PFS Scenario be sold?
I literally just sent an email trying to figure out what's up with the lack of "rulebooks", such as the other Ultimate XXXX and various splat books. What good are all the APs if players can't use the characters they have created for import, because FG doesn't recognize the options that were used?Quote:

It's a process.Quote:

This assumes people can spare the time to do the manual entry themselves. Or that they have the understanding (which at least one of my players does not) to figure it out, rather than just be a plug-n-play participant. I fall into the group of people who don't have that kind of time, and was looking to VTT & pre-made resources as a way to be able to do more for my players (one of whom already skypes in for our sessions) going forward.Quote:

There are some guidelines (like the link in my signature) and on the wiki for Adventurer's League, and a video by Rob2e, that you can use as a self-check. But I've never seen one from SmiteWorks as their own quality checklist.

We're often assigned specific projects or offered a choice of a few. Once those have been completed, accepted, passed SmiteWorks QA and Paizo certification, those DLC Developers may be able to request projects like we can for non-Paizo/WotC projects but it's totally in SmiteWorks' ballpark to accept or reject those requests.Quote:

I was actually going to compare the technical/educational requirements with those of an old shipmate, and see if he would be willing to take on some of the bigger/harder books from Paizo. It isn't something he has done specifically, but if his other computing skills & experiences lined up; I was hopeful for finding a faster solution than praying one of the regulars would volunteer or be assigned any of those books. I figured that if it was a good match then maybe he could help get the official material available for FG caught up without there being any loss of work on the newer releases Pathfinder/Starfinder material.Quote:

Not trying to sound like a broken record but what is the status on the remaining ultimate rulebooks?
no? nothing?
In general, everything is open to be converted and it is up to the individual contractors doing the conversions to choose what they want to do. And, the general SW policy is not to announce what is being worked on until it is in Quality review/approval process. And, because it's depending upon individuals, no timelines are given (until it is in quality and SW can predict the timeframe), because the times vary greatly and are often dependent upon things that can't really be controlled by SW.
ok, so basically the same aswer as 10 months ago. Not what i was hoping for but since i personally bought all the rulebooks that are out now i hope you considder using some of the overfunding for the kickstarter including my own ultimate upgrade to actually contract some of the remaining books so they can be completed before PF2 kicks off full throtle and your obligations to your contract with piazo probably risks making PF1 books even less of a priority.
If there are community developers available to do these then they should get in touch with SmiteWorks.
Of course, you can always convert one yourself, submit it to SmiteWorks for review and consideration as an official conversion and then if approved start doing more conversions and make a commission on each one sold (or however they do it).Quote:

IMO, converting content is something anyone can do, if they put the time and effort into doing it.
Well not knowing what is being worked on makes it a bit difficult to choose a project but I started on Ultimate Intrigue. Vigilante class and feats are done. Working on spells now.
Always a good idea to send a mail to [email protected] just to make sure that no one else is working on your particular conversion.Quote:

There will be a basic Pathfinder 2 ruleset that is free to all license holders. There will also be modules available for the core rules, the bestiary and the Adventure paths. The aim is to have these books available on release day.
This is pretty much the same amount of support that first edition currently has.
