Hey Celestian! Thanks for your input. I'm already kind of familiar with the forge tbh, but I would like to know if OSE is ever going to be available in the steam store specifically? And why some things seem to be published there and some don't (like OSE), all the stuff I own ATM is through steam and I'd like to keep it that way since it's the platform I use the most to review stuff and talk to friends.Quote:

Items on the Forge are not official products and so won't appear on Steam (since they aren't produced by Smiteworks the author of the extension/module/whatever would need to have an agreement with Steam to publish on Steam).
We would have to move his products to the store for them to show up on steam.
However they are Official products. They are just supported by the publisher not SW directly. Both OSE and CnC are listed as officialy supported systems on the home page.
We don't have any immediate plans to put the Forge items onto Steam. We might consider doing a Steam workshop approach in the future, but I haven't dug into that fully.
Hey :)
Guess I won't play OSE on FG then. :(
But thanks folks! I kind of understand how it works now.
Please note that the Forge items will work with your Steam account. It just requires purchase of Forge gold and then you have to subscribe to the items.
Also worth mentioning that the fully functional ruleset is available as "Pay What You Want"/donate/free at the Forge here: https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/199/view
When you buy the advanced books available here, it will give you the fully converted content, but as far as the ruleset goes you get all the functionalities with the free version.
You don't need to use Steam to play Fantasy Grounds AT ALL - it is just a shell that launches FG - and OSE is available on the Forge and will work if you launch FG from Steam or otherwise.Quote:
