    Happy retirement, MOTD!

    Loved your extension. I imagine it must be a great honor to have it incorporated into the Fantasy Grounds Unity program itself - CONGRATULATIONS!

    I can't populate Links on the built-in MOTD... it replaces the entire MOTD with the story that I'm trying to link instead of simply filling the link bubble. So there's still still some value with the extension, I think. I'm re-enabling it now.

    As a workaround, create a story entry with all the links you want in it. Then drag/drop that story entry to the MOTD.

    I would just do it this way anyway. It allows me to create a module of standard MOTD story entries in their own story group that I can pull into any campaign without needing to recreate for each one.

    Create a normal story entry how you want it - with your links etc. setup. Then drag that story entry into the MOTD window. That will give you everything you have setup in the story entry - just like you would in the old MOTD extension.

    Makes sense, thanks y'all.

    I missed this feature (and extension) until now. Treloe, are you like the indie code developer who gets bought out by Microsoft? You come up innovations until the Big Finance people at Smiteworks open their checkbook so you can host games on your private server from your private island in the Caymans? (Kidding, hopefully that's funny, right?)

    Anyway, we appreciate all of these quality of life improvements. This will be a tool of practical use in my games.

    Running: The One Ring and GUMSHOE--Esoterrorists (on hold); intermittently Fiasco and DramaSystem/Hillfolk
    Want to play: Pendragon, City of Mist, Dresden Files RPG, Orpheus, Changeling, Apocalpse World and more PbtA, Bluebeards Bride, Shadows of Esteren; anything by Bully Pulpit Games

    Don't use the extension - it's now in the base CoreRPG ruleset.

    You should probably lock the thread, as you say they thought your idea was awesome enough they incorporated it straight into the game. This is just a source of confusion now. IMHO

    I don't see any reason to lock it. If people can't post, make comments or ask questions then there could be more confusion.
