Compendium data potential source.

[Mandaar]

It's still very early to tackle this kind of work, but it doesn't cost anything to discuss it.

I found a compendium with all the opponents, vehicles and talents of all the Star Wars FFGs, They have json data but it doesn't match the json export, I think it's adaptable, but it needs some adjustments, like removing the stats that are not preset.

The other possibility, perhaps easier, would be to make a converter...

Star Wars Adversaries and OggDude are both on my radar as potential import sources (although OggDude is the more likely of the two to avoid breaching copyright).

Both need a bit of investigation into the licensing agreements from Fantasy Flight Games regarding their fan content policies to make sure we don't run afoul of FFG and Disney lawyers.

It's Star Wars Adversary base repos 😄 We have all json on the git hub link.

Yeah I know, I've used the data from both SWA and OggDude in my own worlds previously, I'm just not able to put them into official system compendiums yet until I'm sure I'm copyright safe.

what is if you don't include the data, but write a module for an importer. The possibility to import can't be a copyright infrigement - I think.

It's an area we're going to have to be very cautious with, as I don't want to get FoundryVTT and Atropos in any trouble by inadvertently bringing legal problems his way.

We're already on slightly dubious grounds even with the character sheets as FFG's fan content policy actually states that they're potentially not allowed, although the realities of this and how legally binding it is are up for debate: https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/fa/b1/fab15a15-94a6-404c-ab86-6a3b0e77a7a0/ip_policy_031419_final_v21.pdf

The Mouse who now owns the original IP is obviously considerably worse to deal with.

Point 6 could be a real problem: "6. No Apps allowed. For licensing and other business reasons, we simply cannot allow our intellectual property in software applications of any kind - whether or not they follow all of the rules above."

[Mandaar]

Be careful not to mix the application and the modding, otherwise steam would fall prey to copyright rains.

Under no circumstances the owner of FoundryVTT can be blamed for the addition of free fan content. But worrying about possible licensing issues is still an important step. I think we have to turn to the other Mods because they already have for some of them the Compendium like DnD for example.

The D&D 5e system have been very careful to limit themselves to SRD content only, for similar reasons.. Wizards have strict fan content policies.
