I've been working on the next steps for Items and Equipment, which will feature a bunch of (hopefully) cool features like:

Assigning Items as loot to props or tokens

Managing the Group Inventory of your PCs and your PCs Inventory

Managing Money of the Group and PCs

Quickloot -> randomly assign party appropriate loot to a prop/token

Merchant -> give a Token an Inventory that can be bought

And maybe even a bit more. These features will directly interact with GMG and TA and will update the inventory and stats of tokens directly.

But now comes the difficult part: because GMG is already a rather big extension and it's not super easy to add such an inventory view to it, it might make more sense to create a separate extension for it.

My main concerns for creating a separate extension are:

Users who do not install this extension will never now these features exist

Working together with GMG will require some sync method which could become complex

My main concerns for integrating it into GMG are:

Complexity of GMG is increasing

Users that don't want that feature are stuck with it

Personally as a user I like having everything in one place but as a Developer I see risks with this approach. So I want to get an impression on what other users might prefer. So please vote and put your opinion into the comments, it really helps me make a decision.
