Doesn't this drastically limit who can use the DOE features in their campaigns? I mean, currently the only thing a GM needs is a handful of modules. Are you going to provide a version of each default ruleset merged with this?
    No, it means that I'll soon stop supporting (for FREE) a group of (FREE) Extensions for those Community Rulesets that are not available via the FG Updater, which means that if a Dev of a Community Ruleset wants the users of their Ruleset to have access to the functionality of the DOEs they can base their Community Ruleset off of this Ruleset instead of "everyone" asking me to do all the work and make the DOEs work with their creation, and then me having to do all the support when something changes. It's shifting some of the the work from my single shoulders to the shared, collective shoulders of the Community Devs who would like the users of their Ruleset to have access to this functionality (and more).

    As I said, the "'Standard' FG Rulesets (ie those available via the FG Updater) will not be affected." This means CoreRPG, 3E, 4E, 5E, 13th Age, CoC, CoC7, CnC, SW, Fate, d20 Modern, & PF (I think that's all of them).

    Of course, some people may not think this is fair, in which case I just might throw a wobbly and withdraw all the DOEs, this Ruleset and everything else I've ever done for this Community FOR FREE (while still retaining my copyright to ALL of it), because the level of "entitlement" that has been growing over the last couple of months around here is starting to get on my nerves! (Yes, I'll take my bat and ball and go home!)

    On the other hand, it's late and I'm tired (not to mention somewhat ill) so I might just be a little bit more tetchy than normal - I think it might be time for bed.

    Dulux-Oz,

    Well said, operative word 'entitlement'.

    Another thing I just found...

    If you're in the Library (with Professor Plum?), and you select ALL, things are grand.

    However, if you select 'GM', then you lose the 'Vehicles' ribbon icon.

    You can select GM and then tick and untick any additional icons for your specific needs.

    A change that drastically reduces the number of people that can benefit from something is not what I would call amazing. And I'd never compliment a change before I understood what was being changed. So, no, it wouldn't.
    I never claimed to be sane. Besides, it's more fun this way.

    This makes sense. I didn't know so many people were asking you to modify your content for compatibility.

    When you say 'will not be affected', do you mean that the DOE's will still work on them and be updated, or that the ruleset will be unable to used with them leaving anyone using these ruleset out of luck if they wish to continue using DOE features?

    Per;

    Means, to me, that Dulux will continue to support the DOEs for these "standard" rulesets. But, rather than him having to support every other ruleset in his extensions, he's created a ruleset that others can port to be dependent to DORCore so that he (Dulux) doesn't have to support his extension with each ruleset, but rather each community ruleset can "support themselves" per se.
