How do I manually add my physical books
This is probably an extremely super and over asked question, but I own all of the base rules for D&D 5E in physical form. I want to know how to manually add all the spells classes races monsters and other junk that comes with them. But I don't want to have to re purchase them either. I'm fine with spending 50-100+ hours manually typing if I have to I just don't understand how to actually accomplish that.

Hi SkjullKidd welcome to FG.
You can do all of that. Here's some video links to get you going.
https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...Creation-Video
https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...video-tutorial
https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...tutorial-Races
Spells, NPCS, items etc are all added the same way. Open the items/NPCSs/spells from the button on the right. Click the edit list button or right click and add new to get a blank template to type the information into.
Here's some more guides

And the 5e Wiki

Hey SkullKidd
One other thing - dont try and add it all. Spend some time adding the bits you need now. Classes and races take some time to add but Zacchaeus has great guides above - and other things can be added quite quickly

Also, make sure you add all this into various "Development" campaigns that you can then export a module from that will effectively be your PHB, DMG, etc. See link in my signature on some thoughts and practices around using development campaigns and making modules.

Hiya
If you decide Engineer Suite looks useful to you (one of the links Zacch provided above) then don't hesitate to join the Discord server and chat about it. At the moment it just does NPCs and Spells, more is on the way. Links in my sig.
Good luck!

Welcome to FG! In case you aren't already aware, FG comes with the D&D 5E Basic Rules and SRD as modules. Those may already have a lot of what you need. Maasq's Engineer Suite will be very helpful for entering a lot of the rest.
It sounds like you're OK with a LOT of manual data entry labor. Good for you, and godspeed...
