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 file attached to forum post linked above for full details).
