Is anyone working on an "Eclipse Phase" ruleset

I emailed Posthuman about building a system for Eclipse Phase in FG2, here was the response.

I haven't seen anything, but you might want to ask on the forums?

You don't need permission from us as long as you follow the terms of the Creative Commons licensing:

This would be awesome to see -- please keep us posted about it!

So it sounds like we should be able to do this without any issues.

I followed up asking if we might be able to get some of the source graphics and data from the rulebook. Would make it easier than cutting and pasting from the PDF.

Wouldn't hurt to also follow up and ask if they'd be interested in signing up with Smiteworks to allow for having a commercial Ruleset with content and adventure modules as well.

Has anything come of this?

Has anything come of this?

I started the initial push for this, and I have since switched to Roll20.net.
I am working on API Scripts for Eclipse Phase in Roll20 and I run games in that system.

I really wanted to use Fantasy Grounds, and I tried to dig in behind the scenes and build modules, but the barrier to entry was too high for me. Roll20 API is based on Javascript which I already know how to program in.

Best of luck to whoever decides to take on this project for Eclipse Phase in FG.

The only drawback is that the Roll20 API requires a Mentor level annual subscription.

Also, I used JavaScript to build game system definition files on Klooge before moving to Fantasy Grounds. I found that JavaScript was much more prone to breaking and errors than Lua.

Currently working on an update to provide a core layer of features available to all rulesets in the next big release. Hopefully, this will make building new rulesets easier.

Actually I usually found JavaScript to be much more "debugging-friendly" than Lua, on the programmers side though, I far prefer Lua. Mind you, I also prefer FG to that other program. If the correspondence was specific in stating FG 2, I'd stick with FG 2, unless there was another agreement made. Besides Why would you want to deny us FG 2 fans of Eclipse Phase? That seems rather selfish .

That's why I'm working every day on the next version to make it easier to have a base ruleset. It won't necessarily be easier to build the custom sheets you need, but all the standard components will already be implemented and kept up to date automatically (i.e. story, images, token box, calendar, etc.) Also, there will be a built-in generic ruleset that is essentially the base layer with a generic character sheet.
