You would reach out to [email protected]; and provide as much detail as you can.
In most situations, we recommend basing any ruleset on the CoreRPG ruleset, so that it can inherit the base RPG-style functionality as well as receive RPG game system-neutral updates more easily.

Thanks for that. I will send a detailed email todayQuote:

Can you expand on what you mean by this?Quote:

I also use Hobbyte's Dungeon Builder, which has some pretty cool isometric features and coincidentally uses Unity. I pretty much have been dabbling in a lot of digital D&D tools and I just want to see FG or someone even WoTC make modules of their old content so it will make it easier for me as a DM. As it stands I put in a lot of work, which I love doing actually, but I'm baffled that WoTC has not attempted to unify and organize their vast library in to easy to use formats. D&D 5e is already fracturing the same way 3.5e did with all the Unearthed Arcana supplements and those supplements aren't all that organized. D&D is D&D it doesn't matter the rule set, I have my favorite settings and I think I'm just going to try and convert everything to 5e rules in the future using guidelines published by WoTC for converting characters and other stuff to 5e, but I'd still like to use the older campaign settings as backdrops because they have much better narrative flow, deeper lore, and etc. I'm rambling, I know, thanks for listening.

Well, I will just cheer from the sidelines. I hope the content keeps on coming out. I will prob buy FG very soon if it continues to provide 2e resources.Quote:

There is also a trove of unconverted 2E supplements and modules that you might give a go at. To be honest I'd love to see some of the 2E modules with modern maps in place of the old ones, it sounds like your skills might do well for that.
While I'd love to see a full Birthright setting implemented in FG it is certainly not where I'd start. I'd start small and build up to that because it would probably be the most difficult setting to implement because of all the extra mechanics (domain actions, blood abilities, realm/war spells, holdings, etc...)
Just for my 5 cents. Why not publish more rulesets from certain publishers. Just an example... You published Conan for 2D20, but thats all. There are several systems that are very close to Conan (like MC3).
Then came out Alien RPG (which is good), but nothing to Mutant Year Zero, Forbidden Lands or even Coriolis. All those are widely played...and pretty similar. Can we expect those?
