The open nature of the RC2014 means that it is not difficult to design new modules to work with it. Whilst I have made quite a few, it is really exciting that others have stepped up and made their own modules to either fill the gaps or build on what is already available.
I encourage people to make their own modules. This page is a brief list of the 3rd party modules designed for RC2014 that I am aware of. Please be aware that support for these is from the respective designers. If you have a modules not on this list, please use the contact page to let me know about it
