Important Notes

No data module is provided with this ruleset. Any copyrighted game content such as class descriptions, skill and item lists, and random tables must be entered manually within FG.
Fortunately, this is easy if perhaps tedious -- nearly everything is simply a matter of copy/paste from the PSG into FG (see README attached to this post for full details).

Very cool!

If you ever need some more help with the graphics, just let me know.

Well done crleonhard

Step-by-step instructions for getting this working would be very appreciated. Not all of us are FG coders.

No coding required! It’s just a matter of data entry through FG, exactly the way you would enter a new item or table for 5e or any other system. There’s just a lot of them to enter.

I’ve updated the first post to include the Forge store link. This is my first Forge listing, so let me know if anything’s not clear!

The README.txt file (which you should be able to find in your FG/rulesets/Mothership folder) identifies all of the tables, classes, items, etc you’ll need to create to get the most out of this ruleset, but I can provide a walkthrough here if it’s confusing.

mothership ruleset.pngI have the ruleset downloaded, I've updated my Fgu, I can see the two rulesets AROUND it, but I can't see it as a ruleset in my launcher.

[Camberme]

the txt file. is inside the .pak file, which you need someway of opening, it's not just a "text file in a folder" IMO

You are correct. The ruleset is not packaged correctly. It should be a zip file containing everything WITHIN the Mothership folder, not the Mothership folder itself. crleonhard will need to re-package andupdate the Forge file. In the meantime, you can could repackage it yourself until the update happens. The .pak file is just a zip file with the extension changed. Change it to .zip and unpack in somewhere you can work with it.

Ah, I’m uploading a corrected build now. And yes, everything including the README is in the .pak file which you’ll just need to unzip.

(I've temporarily disabled the download until the new corrected package is approved.)
