Based on sla-blueprint-news. On Create, in a zero-engine world, also spawns playable Zero Engine npc actors for the briefing: a threat group (named leader + mooks) matched to the BPN opposition (gangs, Carrien, corpsec, Stormers, black-ops...) plus the named cast — each with attributes, hit points, armour, damage, threat and embedded weapons. Stat blocks mirror the system's own NPC Creator (SLA_NPC_TYPES / _slaWeaponData). De-collided ids/globals/buttons so it coexists with the base module.

# Blueprint News 0 Engine (Foundry VTT module)
|
||
|
||
Everything [SLA Blueprint News](https://github.com/slaguru666/sla-blueprint-news)
|
||
does — generate BPN mission briefings as a journal **package** (player Brief +
|
||
Field Dossier, GM Dossier, a character sheet per NPC with a black-and-white
|
||
portrait, and an item card per OTEM) — **plus**, when run under the **Zero
|
||
Engine** SLA system, it spawns real, playable **NPC actors** for the briefing.
|
||
|
||
## Zero Engine NPC generation
|
||
|
||
On **Create**, in a world using the `zero-engine` system, the module also builds
|
||
an **Actor folder** for the briefing containing:
|
||
|
||
- a **threat group** matched to the BPN's opposition — gangs, Carrien, corp
|
||
security, Stormers, black-ops, etc. — as a **named leader plus several mooks**,
|
||
- the **named cast** (contact and supporting NPCs).
|
||
|
||
Each actor is a Zero Engine `npc` with attributes (Strength/Agility/Wits/
|
||
Empathy), **hit points**, **armour**, **damage**, a **threat level**, and
|
||
**embedded weapons** (pistols, rifles, blades, claws…). **Initiative** is rolled
|
||
by the Zero Engine in combat, driven by Agility + Mobility, which these actors
|
||
have. The stat blocks mirror the system's own NPC Creator (`SLA_NPC_TYPES`), so
|
||
they behave exactly like hand-built Zero Engine NPCs — drop them on a scene and
|
||
roll initiative.
|
||
|
||
If the world is **not** using the Zero Engine, the module still produces the full
|
||
journal package; it simply skips actor creation.
|
||
|
||
## Use
|
||
|
||
GM only. Open from the **Journal** sidebar button ("Blueprint News 0E"), the
|
||
**Notes** toolbar, or `game.slaBlueprintNewsZero.open()`. Pick the band, SCL
|
||
level and reward sliders, then **Create**.
|
||
|
||
## Install
|
||
|
||
Setup → Add-on Modules → Install Module → manifest URL:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/slaguru666/sla-blueprint-news-zero/main/module.json
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Requires the **Zero Engine (SLA Industries)** system for actor generation;
|
||
compatible with Foundry VTT v13–v14 (verified 14.361).
|
||
|
||
## Relationship to the base module
|
||
|
||
This is a standalone superset and can be installed alongside the base
|
||
`sla-blueprint-news` module without conflict (separate ids, buttons and
|
||
globals). Use this one for Zero Engine worlds.
