The d20_JPG ruleset was created by JPG as a replacement for the d20 ruleset. This ruleset will eventually be incorporated into the 3.5E ruleset, but is available here for those who wish to use it now. This ruleset does not self-install, and will need to be extracted to the rulesets subfolder of the Application Data Folder link in the Start Menu.

The d20 ruleset used to install together with Fantasy Grounds II. This ruleset is no longer supported but is available here for those who wish to continue using it instead of the newer OGL 3.5E ruleset.
