We have spoken with Digital Adventures, LLC about what it takes to get a Battlelords version of Fantasy Grounds.  The do not have the resources to devote fully to Battlelords right now.  We wan tot create a FREE Character Sheet Ruleset (CSRS).  As I understand it, this will allow you to create a character (or input your existing ones), and allow you to play remotely with other Battlelords fans.  A big thanks to Geoff who has already done a lot of work on getting this started.  After the CSRS is out we would like to create "modules" to expand the ruleset to include our other products, like the Lock-N-Load series.

We need to judge the interest and anyone who is interested in helping develop this.  Perhaps Geoff can speak to the skills needed to develop for Fantasy Grounds?  As I understand it, this is not complicated, and Digital Adventures will be available to help guide, but it is time consuming.

So post here with questions, comments; say "HEY" if you are interested in the product and/or helping development.

Interested, I'd definately like to hear more about what skills are needed to work on this.  I'll also ask my group(i've mentioned this place but I don't think any have looked here.

OK, some more information has come in.  The skills used for development are XML/LUA and Excel, so not too severe.

It appears a license is good forever as long as you use it for FG or FGII, whichever you bought it for.

I updated the other Thread, but not this one.

I've added an entry in SSDC's wiki concerning the ruleset.  I will shortly added some of my screenshots to there as well.

I've named the title recently, but the original link does redirect there.  The current link is http://wiki.ssdc.com/wiki/Fantasy_Grounds_Ruleset_for_Battlelords

Is this still an ongoning process, if so I got a few questions after glancing at the site becuase as you'll see I've never even heard of FG before. It appears like a Instant messenger on super duper elephant steriods with all sorts of neat aids to help you run a game, correct me if I'm wrong please. Also it seems like you have to pay the registration fee to use it, one time fee not bad I can dig it. Now to play a ruleset some seem like you need to buy the ruleset(unless it's a free one of course), no do all the people playing need to buy a copy of the ruleset/suplements or just one. I read somewere that is said the host computer automaticaly distibutes the rule set to all the people connecting to it. So would that then mean that basicaly the guy running it needs to do all the purchasing? Oh and I'm assuming that like with an instant messenger it's a live realtime app not like a play by web type.

Anyway it deffinately sounds pretty darn cool to me. I wish I knew how do do some coding to help but I don't . But I would deffinately be interested in playing. Any idea on how long it will be untill it's up an running? I know it's probably hard to say but I'll accept very vuage answers(Just as Blizzard how patiently I'm waiting for StarCraft 2 to be released.)

K sounds pretty nice. If there is anything I could do to help let me know I would deffinately like to see something like this though like I said I don't know how to do any programing code or anything.

I am afraid I haven't made any more progress, and am fortunate to still have the files after suffering an HDD fail.  I just reinstalled it actually, got the updates, and was about to go through it again.  The last 12 mos have been somewhat challenging, but the good news is I haven't killed anyone yet over it.  Well, good news for them anyways.  At least I am not beating my carapace into the wall again.

I just thought that perhaps we should make this a community effort, as I lack some necessary skills to complete without having to learn said skills, i.e graphic design, some lua (sp?) scripting.

For those familiar with the Hero Forge excel works, several individuals took the time to import all the rules for races, classes, feats, etc...for virtually all the published material into excel to make an awesome character generation worksheet.  Various ppl took whatever section and worked on it and then submitted it, pieced it together.

Perhaps something similar?  Recruit some people of different skills, they do what they know how to do, then piece it together.

I would still like to do this.  There is a section in the wiki with for information I think.

I've got some programming skills but they're rusty. Over the next few weeks I have a bit of time and can  help out.

How is this project being planned? (If at all)

Is the data-entry complete? (ie. tables of statistics, etc.)

What's the most important thing that needs to be done, next?
