Savage Worlds all the way.

The Fantasy Grounds website now sports an intriguing counter that seems to count down towards Monday the 23rd if April, 9am. The logo in the background of the counter is the logo used for Fantasy Grounds II, so it seems something is due to be released, whatever it is, on April 23rd.

I'm another happy user of Fantasy Grounds (FG). Before FG arrived, I hadn't played roleplaying (RP) games in 8 years - before that I'd been playing for 10 years. For me, and my players and a lot of other users of virtual gaming tables (VGT), the discussion isn't about whether RP by VGT is RP...

Hi all, So I got thinking about how a city would handle weapons entering through the gates. I have this idea that a city would, for a hefty fee, cast a spell on a weapon to "mark" it. If someone on the city was hurt/slain by a weapon, a counterpart spell could be cast to determine what weapon...

A review I just posted this review to a private blog I run with my mates: Fantasy readers are a funny bunch; simultaneously we show the greatest stupidity and the greatest resolve when we go shopping for books. With so much bad fiction in this section of the bookstore, we must be stupid...

All right, if we're gonna share war-stories and show scars of bad movie-going experiences, try this on for size: We're going to go see We Were Soldiers, which is just about as dark and brooding and serious movie as they come. My house mates and I all agree on the jerkometer running pretty high...

Oh my, this is turning into a vertiable who's who of gritty, low magic fantasy. Received The Darkness That Comes before, Gates of Fire and book one of the Farseer trilogy and will let you know what I think. Started The Darkness That Comes Before, and indeed, there's a lot of names, places and...

Fields of Blood. I'm secretly planning on moving my players towards a realm style of play :) And what a great book it is, by the way. Only quarrel is that the 12 mile provinces seem a little small for my CS.

I chose at home even though under ideal conditions I would choose the theatre. Problem with cinemas, in the UK at least, is that people just don't shut up any longer. They just don't. They litterally sit there and talk or snicker. Some years ago you might find that with 13 year olds, but...

Hi guys, I've read, then re-read, now re-listening to the Song of Ice and Fire. I have about a 40 minute commute, so I'm taking the chance to listen to SoIaF in audio book format. However, I need something to read before I fall asleep. I find the fantasy book market so hard to navigate, and...

27, originally from Denmark, but have lived in the UK (Dundee and now Leicester) the past 4 years. Monthly session with people from Brazil and Denmark using Fantasy Grounds. Work as a computer game developer during the day ... and night now that E3 is approaching.

Like many others before me, let me just add my voice to the pool against a 4th edition any time soon. {thread highjack risk} The time between 3.0 and 3.5 was short enough for some of my gamer friends to decide not to switch, causing all sorts of annoying discussions when we mingle: "3.0? No...

Oh yes. Fantasy Grounds (http://www.fantasygrounds.com) is the best d20 tool you'll ever see. It doesn't try to be everything for everyone, but sticks to essentially emulating a table. You actually roll dice, and share sheets with the players, not much different to how you'd normally interact...

Doesn't come with any VoIP. I've run TeamSpeak, Messenger and Skype in the background, however, with no issue whatsoever.
