[QUOTE="Timespike, post: 9404878, member: 29665"] I have no specific recollection of this conversation (if it even included me, which it may have; it's been a busy last couple of years and my memory is lousy at the best of times). As it currently stands, though, I'd certainly be[I] interested[/I] in getting my content into tools sites or character builders. The issue would be the work involved in getting it formatted for inclusion, which I sadly just do not have the time for (PMG is not my day job), nor do I have the budget to pay industry-standard hourly rates for data entry. (A bit more context: PMG is profitable, but only just; I run very close to the break-even line and tend to roll a lot of the proceeds from one project into the production budget of future ones.) So at least as it exists today, it's not a question of interest, but it is [I]very[/I] much one of resources. Now, if some folks wanted to do the data entry on a volunteer basis, [I]and[/I] that was okay with EN Publishing, I'd certainly be willing to provide access to the files necessary to make that happen. If there'd be a way to easily convert the foundry VTT modules I [I]have[/I] paid for into whatever formatting is necessary to support the tools site or character builder, I'd also be open to that. There's also been some discussion among members of the A5E 3PP community about doing a reference document of some kind to help newer folks use our content in their own work—that's had the same bottlenecks: time and money. If we ever get that put together, I'd be delighted to see the PMG content from it used to populate a tools site and/or character builder.
