I'll be running Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edition for my (now) adult children, who live away. I was planning to do it all on Roll20.net, but will be doing it on Fantasy Grounds instead. We have rolled up characters, I have them in FantasyGrounds. We've tested them out. All we are waiting on is the Rise of the Runelords to be released.
Please tell me that this is one of your threads... :)
@swbuza, I think you're going to be in luck given that Doug mentioned this in a previous post:

The first round of products is looking like it will be the following (at least what we have targeted):
- Pathfinder Core Rules and Theme
- Bestiary 1 through 5 (with tokens and images)
- Adventure Paths (Rise of the Runelords, Skull & Shackles, Curse of the Crimson Throne, Kingmaker)
For APs, we will be looking to release adventure 1 from each series and then subsequent adventures in following months. Eventually, we will expand to cover more reference material and APs.
It is. We are going to break it up so we can get it out sooner for a number of different APs. Adventure modules 1 and 2 should be rolling out first for several APs, followed by the next ones in the series as quickly as we can get them converted, reviewed and approved. We expect that should take us roughly 1 month per new adventure in each series that we start.
I'm happy about that, not only for expedience of getting smaller packages converted and reviewed but also for memory constraints. Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edition is one massive book and that would be a ton of NPCs, encounters, images, etc. taking up memory.Quote:

See post #80. There is a Paizo review process and we have no idea how long that will take.Quote:

Spells - 100%
To Do (drag and drop capable - they are already in the reference manual):
Special Abilities
Equipment
Magic Items
In addition, we have a little more left on the ruleset. It is not going to have the same level of automation in character leveling as 5E, but there are a few changes still left to finish. The current iteration has been sent to Paizo to get an early preview, along with the first few adventures for a few Adventure Paths.
Trenloe is finishing up the Bestiary 1 and then will do Bestiary 2 - 5 to match.
Outstanding gentlemen thank you for the hard work
Thank you all for investing your time so heavily into making this. You will definitely be rewarded by us (the community) in the FG Store!
Wait, what ruleset? We were told that Pathfinder wasn't getting a ruleset (that the 3.5E ruleset handled PF well enough as it is). Did this change?Quote:

The reason is that for Pathfinder nearly every content from Paizo is also avaible in a translated version for the german language (done by "Ulisses Spiele", https://www.ulisses-spiele.de/) and there is also an german PRD avaible on the internet.
Simular stuff i notized also for other languages at least for france and italian.
And because of the new deal between Smiteworks and Paizo Pathfinder even gets more in focus.
Because of that i think Smitework should think about to extent the ruleset in a way that it would be also possible to play PFRPG with non-english contents supporting all that nice Fantasy Grounds features.
Currently not "localizeable" with just changing the string resources in 3.5E/PFRPG is:
- Skilllist in Character Sheet
- Dropdownlists in Party Sheet (abilites, saves, skills)
- Names of effect buttons on default effects
- parsing of non-english content when drag&drop items to character sheet or combat tracker
- parsing of non-english content when drag&drop NPCs to the combat tracker
- parsing of non-english content when drag&drop spells to character sheet
- evaluating of effects, damagetypes etc. on rolls, when the derivated content came from non-englich text contents
- output of chat for the results of rolls from charcheet, NPC or combat tracker
- handling of different metrics (meters instead feets, kg instead pfound)
- handling of different date formats
Some of that issues could be solved by just implementing new text-resources.
For others i think there need to be some changes in the "Manager" scipts (I would recomment to outsource each text content reliable stuff into a central place, lets call it "ContenParserManager". Then it would be possible to replace just each function within the LPak extensions with new functions which can handle the localized texts).
Are there any plans by Smiteworks to bring the "localization" functionality for PFRPG to a more complete status ?
I would try to write an extension to do that stuff within the LPak project of duluz-oz, but if there is a plan to implement that in the near future by Smitework then it would be better to wait for that :)
Some sneak peeks that were shared in discord...

Oooh, sexy. I know I will want to buy the Bestiary(-ies) if there is a functionality to apply templates to the monsters. Those templates are a real pain for me in preparation.
nice, looks very promising:)
I can't wait to have it !! Soooooooo cool !
Please consider reworking the button icons, everyone loves goblins but in this case the text isn't the clearest choice. Outside of that spectacular work, i wish i was able to use the skin with the 5e ruleset.
I personally like the goblins! Once you figure out which button is which, you probably won't need to read them anymore. But I am betting they will have some vanilla themes available or Dulux-Oz will make one for us. :)
Can we even get an estimate on the time it takes for the Paizo review? Has any of the content been submitted to them already?
I cannot wait! I dig the sneak peak. Pathfinder goblin art is great!
The review takes as long as it takes. Sometimes it has to go to Legals and to Design and to PR and to Playtest and then changes get made and it goes around again.Quote:

Keep in mind, this is all new for Paizo. They have very little relevant prior experience to estimate how long it might take them to review and approve the content.Quote:

This is awesome! When I saw that sneak peak art, I shed a single tear. So excited!
The anticipation is killing me.
I hope to have the money to buy it when it arrives.
Do we have any ideas as to how long, just a guesstimate?
Even if all you have is the core rules and bestiary. I am in.
No ETA yet.
Several AP's are ready to submit, but we have a little bit more to do on the ruleset, I'm finishing up Core Rules (90+% done) and waiting on the final version from Trenloe for the Bestiary 1. We will submit the first batch of those as soon as those items are all complete. Initially, I threw out a January target date but we have obviously missed that. It is very close though.
Keep up the good work! We all know that it will be ready when its ready....
any update on ETA? I'm checking the store 3 times a day! I can't wait for this!
I just sent the following items to Paizo for review:
1. Pathfinder Core Rules Pack (includes extension)
2. Rise of the Runelords 1
3. Rise of the Runelords 2
4. Kingmaker 1
5. Kingmaker 2
We have not had a review process with Paizo previously and this is new to them and to us. We will have a better idea of an ETA for future products.
The RealmWorks site is abuzz with complaints about Paizo policy for digital content. It would appear that for their license with alone Wolf and Realm Works, Paizo is insisting that to purchase RW Paizo content, you must either own or purchase the PDF. There is an innovative tie in so purchasers on Realmworks can validate they own (or not) the corresponding PDF as they purchase RW content.
Can you address whether this will be the model for Fantasy Grounds content?
The policy is raising a &*#*storm over at lone wolf forums.
Have you seen any FG official releases? There is no absolute need for a printed or pdf copy - you get everything you need within FG (not to say that an alternative version doesn't come in handy, but it isn't necessary). Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the issue?Quote:

Got links to their discussion?Quote:

If FG isn't bound by this restriction there's going to be an obscene uproar.
