You need to check rights on individual mainpages inside that journal. They seem to be "none" (you can see crossed eye icon after pagename when logging in as GM)

#

noticed the same with Pathfinder rule journals.

#

pick for clarity.

#

so changing to 'Inherit' fixes your issue.
PROS: you can leave unnecessary (or secret) stuff as is so players cannot see it

I usually add the books and stuff to the journal rather than have my players rummaging through the compendium packs, see screen grab for example of the blank pages. As you can see from my other screen grab I have this set to "owner" for all though it should work for my player if set to "observer" which would be ideal.

Importing is great. And setting to observer on the main page will work for players, the big trick is the below sections must be set to inherit otherwise the contents will be blank.

I expected the knives to be in Deadlands equipment but they are not, this is me assuming that they would be in there along with all the other mundane equipment (this is likely a holdover from my use of other systems on Foundry including the core savage worlds and savage pathfinder) and me not looking sorry.

No worries. we worked hard to line things up with the sections of the book/pdf. So knives are under weapons since that is where they are located in the source material.

Where have you put ammo? I can drag it out of the rule book but I just want to be able to add it to the items menu.

Ammo is under equipment. Bullets, Arrows, cannons, ect.

#

Maybe move "Chaps, native armour, inventors apron, native armour and shields" to general equipment rather than armour?

We have broken armor out for a couple reasons. 1 Mechanically in the game it does different things that common gear. 2 the equipment section is large, and breaking it out allows for a smoother experience on vtt.

The Deadlands character sheet can only accommodate a certain amount of equipment before it falls off the allowed paper texture and is illegible please see the screen grab attached.

Ok can you create an issue through our support panel? we will investigate to see if we can correct that.

And equipping weapons does not add them the quick assess panel.

Please create an issue for this in our support panel! we will look into changing the default to equipped.

Hope this is all helpful, trying to be constructive...

Thank you! we do appreciate it! We did a mass migration of the content to v10 so there are probably little bits we need to tweak to get it dialed in so feedback is always welcome!

Hey dude, I have been off this for a bit. I will go on and raise these reports next time I fire up foundry.

On the armour front I think chaps should just be with the other clothing since armour in the system is not ordinary equipment.

I have raised these issues on the support panel.

Some thing that would be really useful but maybe fiddly to do would be an advancement tracker that keeps a tally of advancements spent on the character sheet. Giving totals spent on skills, attributes, edges and hinderances.
This would take the faff out of character creation and make it easy to see at a glance if any character sheet has issues.
