MM3

In addition to helping out with the Adventure workshop, I put some time into MM3 support. I haven't gotten around to handling the new mechanical format but I did get the Fluff format in place and support for Diseases that work on something other than Endurance (Meenlocks)

ETA when it will be ready?

Nice. Is the Encounter text tagged with ZEncounter Group?

I figured there would be some work necessary to deal with the new layout, so I've kept myself busy by working on the fluff.

ZEncounter works as do the other version (encounter groups, encounters, etc)

New tags include:
Z (any text) In Combat
Which replaces the tactics node. Using this activates the mm3 style formatting

ZFluffAppend
This adds a header block with the NPC name and adds the text to the end of fluff. Also enables the mm3 output format. Needed because mm3 does 1 block that's by group and then additional fluff for each creature

Eta is unclear. I'm working on getting it to bootstrap install ACE to enable the NPC database for use with zephs module workshop

I'm curious - what is the "Adventure workshop"?
