I tend to play online using virtual tabletop software as my old gaming ground is scattered around the country and I've built up a new virtual group over the years. I'm in the process of building what is known as a ruleset - a set of sheets (Character Sheet / NPC / Combat Tracker) that overlays the basic software to support the playing of a game. My personal preference for virtual tabletop is Fantasy Grounds.

This is for my own use, but I've previously been allowed by game developers / publishers to release the ruleset so that others are able to use it. Is this something that Cubicle 7 / Sophisticated Games would allow? Community rulesets do not contain game rules, but may contain some slight automation - such as dice being thrown when you double-click a skill.

There are commercial sets around as well. These generally contain the game rules within what is known as a module. Modules are attached to the ruleset and display in the library within the software. Are Cubicle 7 / Sophisticated Games considering a commercial FG2 release for The One Ring? If so, I'll not release this as a community set and go and talk to Doug Davison of Smiteworks.

Looks fantastic mate! I may really try to get FGII working on the Mac.

Though the VERY rules light nature of TOR should make it run very well in G+ Hangouts...I really should give that a try one day (in case my normal home group's TOR test falls flat)...

I use Fantasy Grounds as well and would encourage Cubicle 7 to allow things like this to be available. Online play is effective and fun and having even a little bit of game specific customization only makes it better!

That's very well done Valerian!

The character sheet is going to get its first real play this weekend. I'm going to be running the introductory adventure with the pre-gen characters in our group's Sunday slot. So far, I've got three (maybe four) players out of a possible six. I'm using a FG2 Ultimate license, so if anyone is interested in joining in they would be welcome.
