Problem creating/using Delvers template and Unified view

Attempting to replicate the procedure with your recent Bard video, I tried to create a library for Delvers to Grow. That was the only book in the library.

When I tried to create a new character using that library in Unified view, I receive a bunch of errors that result in GCA crashing. Does anyone else see this error?

Delvers to Grow requires Dungeon Fantasy RPG to be loaded, because it's a support book for that line. Apparently GCA is not currently checking the 'requires' part of the file header unless there's another file to compare against, so I'll have to look at that.

So, if your Included Books are "Dungeon Fantasy RPG.gdf, Delvers to Grow.gdf" then you should be good.

I apparently didn't test GCA well enough without a base file providing all needed attributes and such, which is the first error I saw, and likely the cause of your issues. With both files, things should work.

Start a new delver with the _Build-A-Bjorn - Start Here template, and it should walk you through the process.

There are a *lot* of templates in the list, because I designed the process so that you could upgrade through the system as you went--but I haven't really figured out a great way to actually guide upgrades after initial Build-A-Bjorn creation.
