Publishers looking for conversions for Fantasy Grounds
The publishers below are all contracted and ready to release content for Fantasy Grounds Unity.

Please post inquiries here and email James Holloway ([email protected]) to sign up as a community developer.
What sort of content is available
- Rulesets
- Adventures
- Map Packs
- Tile Packs
- Token Packs
Rulesets should ship with some basic automation specific to the game and full reference material for the base books. Rulesets should continually be developed and enhanced throughout their lifetime to support new features, enhance gameplay, and support future product releases.
All maps should include line of sight, lighting, etc. with metadata exported for each image.
All adventures should include both Story text in solid groupings along with a reference manual.

What do you get?
- 15% to 20% for rulesets depending on level of automation and feature set
- 8% to 15% for adventures, map pack conversions, tile conversions, and token packs depending on publisher
- Commissions pay out for all sales within 12 months of release. * this may be extended for products that frequently update to add new features (i.e. Rulesets mostly).

I would be interested in converting content for Goodman Games, DCC and 5e; and 5e content for Kobold Press and Frog God Games.

Hi Doug

Couple of questions:

1. If converting an adventure for a publisher, I assume we get sent the pdf file?
2. Is there a template to follow for creating said adventures?

I haven't created any to date, currently converting a 5e AL module that a friend wrote for DMSGuild, so he can offer it as part of the product, just been waiting for new lighting to be implemented so I can add that to maps.

Cheers

We don't have a full list of the requirements posted anywhere at this time, but James can get you some basic info when you sign up. If you are familiar with existing modules that we sell, that will be the style that we want to match.

We may provide PDFs to people for conversion after you build up a track record of conversions. In the beginning, you would have to secure the PDF on your own first.

Is there any possibility of supporting publishers not on the list? I am falling in love with the Fria Ligan game systems, and I would love to support them somehow.

Fria Ligin does their own conversion work.

Hi,
I'd be interested in converting Starfinder Society Scenarios (SFRPG) for Smiteworks (FGU), adding LoS and Lighting as needed.
- SFS Seasons 1 to current (Season 4) and beyond.

Just a question more: what about converting material in a foreign language (i.e. I'm Italian and I own tons of Italian material for D&D classics and 5th edition)?
Btw I would be really interested in converting the Dragonlance setting (both in english and Italian) for the AD&D 2nd ed.
Thx

I have about 25% of the LOS of main part of the Barrowmaze 5ed done. I also have some a some of the text enter in too. Is that publisher looking for a conversion?

I'm not sure of what situation you are referring to here. This thread is in reference to publishers that are looking for help in converting material. Did you have any questions related to the OP?

Hi I'd like to sign up for anything for PF1E, and anything ruleset agnostic. Map packs, tiles, tokens etc. I've sent an email to James re: community Dev.
If I read the instructions correctly for the WoTC I need to reach out to them correct?

Thanks.

I emailed James Holloway ([email protected]) on Saturday about doing conversions for Mongoose products and have yet to hear anything back. Did I need to post here first?

If you emailed him directly then that might have gotten lost in the many emails he receives. You might get better luck sending your email to [email protected]. If you sent it there, it may take some time as most within the company do take weekends off.

Ghostfire Gaming is also looking for a module developer to do some conversions.

I'd love to see their new stuff in FG if someone wants to do that. I have no experience doing modules myself otherwise I'd consider it.

In the midst of a Drakkenheim Campaign as a player, but if its still open after we finish, I'd like to consider it.

Is there a Video Tutorial showing how to convert a PDF module into FG without copy and paste ?

The only way would be to copy/paste unless you created some kind of program to convert from pdf to xml in a manner that FG would understand.

If I know what FG expects that would be easy. I would just need the XML format and one example to demonstrate what goes where. From there I let the AI do the job.

Within FG create new records and populate the fields with example data. Then export to a module and you'll have the XML format needed within the module's db.xml of client.xml (depending on the type of module).
