Okay Valarian, if this offer still stands, how about looking at the schedule now? (I am getting back into circulation now that real life is settling down...)Quote:

Alas I am out of town (assuming I was even invited seeing as how I invited myself ;)).Quote:

Yes, the time slot is good for me (8am CST) usually, just have a few non-gaming commitments this month unfortunately.Quote:

I've set up a calendar entry starting the 18th Nov. I'll add a link for voice to the GM announcements once I have something set up.Quote:

I'd be very interested (I loved a FGCon game you ran a few years ago). But, after having Sundays free for ages, I'm now busy Octboer 18th and 25th. But then free again after that. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see when you play and if there's a chance for me to join (depending on space and your permission of course!)
The time slot is good depending on the weekend. I could do Nov 18 but Nov 25 is a family holiday. (I can also log in Nov 11 in this time slot.)
Would you want us to make up characters beforehand?
I can't do tonight. We can skip the 25th if the majority can't make it.Quote:

Update: Done! I've used this nifty tool and it eases the character creation process. Next up: find a portrait and choose a name. I'll poke around for collections of Tolkein-styled character portraits... referrals welcome.
FYI-- needs a name but I successfully used this tool. I've got this saved as code so can edit (I think) as needed. I've only skimmed the character creation rules so can't claim to understand the mechanics (but I'll read them more closely in the coming days). This is a character chose for roleplay and inspired by the feeling of vast wilderness and journeying that The One Ring evokes.
Concept: Wanders the lands near and under the eaves of Mirkwood. Makes a hospitable home in the wild for travel companions he befriends, with food, song, healing, and wayfinding.
Couldn't find portrait treasury but here's a couple that will do:

That is a beautiful looking game.
Valarian, a module design question for this rule set: I've exported a module (campaign images that I'd like to keep organized by keeping it separate from other content) and and can see it and open it in the module window, but once it's opened, it doesn't appear in the library or elsewhere. Can you help--is there a trick with listing categories or something to make it compatible so the base ruleset can "see" it?
Hi Hector,
I am sure you have, but... did you look to see if there was a new category in the normal images window (not in the library)? That’s where they should appear, I think.

Thanks!

I don’t think it uses CoreRPG, it uses foundations core, which is different.
Looks like the images have appeared, though, so that is something.
If you don’t find another way, you could always edit the module and add the category...
Good point. I've given it a shot, added "Marsh" in both of the following code excerpts (where there had previously been no value), but so far this hasn't added a new category tab to the Images window:Quote:

For anyone wanting to play a game with these rules and ruleset, there’s an opportunity here in the one-shot I’m hosting for FG-Con 14!:

This same scenario is on again for FG-Con 15! Sign up here if you want to give these rules or this ruleset a try--or come back to it after a long hiatus. NB that 2e TOR is coming out soon, so it's a good time to get back into the TOR swing of things!Quote:

I'm slowly updating the ruleset to CoreRPG in preparation for 2nd edition. The character sheet is in. Now need to do the NPC sheet and combat tracker.
Now that's fantastic news! Btw my complements on how well the NPC sheets work in this ruleset--a thing of beauty. Same goes for how well you've integrated all the mechanics on the PC sheet.Quote:

I'm new to FG, but having searched FAQs and threads here am not seeing how to get a Character from the Character Manager into my (test) TOR Campaign.
I'm on Windows 10 Pro, Fantasy Grounds II (updated) and using Valarian's latest (fcore-TOR.pak)
I can manually create a Character:

When I load my TOR campaign I dont see an option to import Character:

Thanks for any help, I'm really looking forward to using this! :)
Responding to NotRussellCrowe at The One Ring/AiMW RPG Discord:
Thanks for the help; I'm using Classic (the Desktop icon is Fantasy Grounds II and the exe is 'Fantasy Grounds.exe').
When I right click on the Character window I do get the option to 'Create Item', and when I click that a new Character is added to the list (unnamed, no stats, not owned by any player).
Here is a pic of the chat windwo when I first load in, to help determine if I'm using an older version.

Cheers!
Welcome to the forums SOS John.
To add characters you have to directly edit the db.xml file. Create a character first with a name you can find, then search for it once you have the db file open so you know which section it belongs to. Copy/paste exactly from old to new.
OR use the updated version of this ruleset.
Yes, you're using the older version of the ruleset. My recommendation would be download and use the newer version based on CoreRPG. You can find it here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...t=the+one+ring
It's by Valarian so you know it's good!
And this is solved...I'm sure I'll kock into other issues, but very glad for the help on this one NotRussellCrowe
Edit: Thanks for the warm welcome, and the quick responses gents/gals; I hope I can return the favour sometime.
Happy to help out.
Happy gaming!
The Foundation Core base doesn't have this option. There's an updated version of the ruleset using the CoreRPG base.Quote:

Hi again, hoping this is an appropriate place to post a general FG:TOR question.
Now that I'm up and running with Valarian's ruleset for TOR I'd like to add Enemies and Characters (NPC and PC) to my campaign. I can now manually add a PC pr NPC but I wonder if theres an XML exporter or (in an ideal world) files that already exist for Enemies?
Even a link to point me at the tool you use would be fantastic. Thanks again!
SOS John, you should really use the other ruleset on this thread and post here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...RPG-Conversion
Why? Because the types of functionality you're looking for are far more likely to be supported in the CoreRPG version on that thread.
That said, I don't think there's an import function. The Savage Worlds ruleset has such a tool, and I'll bet someone some take-out lunch that the same has been created for D&D, but each import tool will be a custom job that maps blocks of text to the relevant fields.
For TOR there's the additional challenge of copyright problems: it's not officially supported and even the publishers may not own rights to share their IP in electronic form.
Thanks Hector, I'll ask the question there, following from your answer (thanks!).
