A single story entry sounds good.
I generally include a story entry on 'How to use this module in Fantasy Grounds'. However judging by the questions I get about certain modules not a lot of people read that particular entry. However if there's only one then it'll probably get read.
I also agree that a forum post; or a mention in the store description won't hit many users either. Since I use the forum all the time I forget that many don't even know it exists beyond registering an account.If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

Thanks guys. This was also a suggestion of Derek from our Customer Support team. I will look at putting that in for an update next week. I might tie it in with a video that I can link from the story entry as well.

Completely agree, I'm so accustomed after all the years I have used FG that I create my own Story entries in my own Modules.
Use of the reference mannual directly is not a dissaster but it needs a rework in the IU to highlight the functionality, a direct button, for example.

I agree with this. It may be 'you can't teach an old dog' type of thing (and probably is) but I really dislike the way the adventure modules are done using the reference manual vs. story entries and have had a hard time adjusting to it. Out of curiosity, was there an issue/outcry against the use of story entries?

No, but since we are able to create reference manuals inside of FGU there has been a bit of a debate as to the need for story entries since developing both story and reference is time consuming. Reference manuals are easier to index and search; they can contain graphics and sidebars and overall look nicer as well as doing everything a story entry does. I’m sure that there will be further adjustments to the UI in future, such as a button in the right hand menu and the ability to resize reference pages. Adding in just those two features really would make story entries obsolete.
