-Before using the Toolset, it is important to take note of what [[Module|module]] the toolset has open. A module is a "container" that game resources are stored in; you will only be able to see the resources for the currently open module (and any modules that it is marked as depending on). The default module when first starting the Toolset is the "Demo" module, which is a very small and simple module intended to show several common resource types in a basic pre-built adventure that you can experiment with safely.

 The first basic steps in the Toolset shall be to create your own [[Module]]. The only possible type of Module is "Addin", but note that this name is somewhat misleading; it is possible to have "standalone addins" that are completely separate from any other module (such as the main campaign).
