I see that there are 8 Pathfinder sessions running this weekend and 1 D&D 4e. For a total of 27 sessions. Lots to choose from. Looks like a good place to check out a great alternate to the cancelled D&D VTT. There is a Google spreadsheet convention schedule...

Agreed. Of course the community of FG users has come up with a way to use the information that you access with your DDI account in the FG VTT, and play DnD 4e. They are running a virtual convention next weekend July20-22 where you can try out the program for free. Convention details -...

Sound That sounds very inventive. We used Skype in our FG session and I thought it really helped speed things along. I don't think FG offers any support for music or sound effects in the program. I noticed that Battle Grounds mentions support for sound effects and such But I have never used...

BTW I checked out your blog and I am impressed. That projector rig for using MT on your tabletop is very impressive. Now I have no choice but to respond. All I'm saying is don't get locked into the idea that you NEED to spend $500 bucks to rig up a projector to display maps on your kitchen...

I agree you don't need frameworks. You don't need to imbed the rules. But you normally do have the rule books and character sheets and dice and miniatures and maps and adventure writeup ( behind a screen ) on your table top right ? Its not just a battle map, miniatures, and dice. So FGII is...

I honestly couldn't answer that question. I have only used FGII as a player once. I know our GM said he usually plays SW with FGII so he would be a better person to ask. As with Maptools there is a very active community that modifies the rulesets constantly. :D As a player I would say...

I think I didn't word my statement clearly. When I said "with Maptools you can ignore the rules or you can use a framework" I meant: In order to use Maptools to run the game you can use it for the maps and handle the rules on your own or you can use a framework. In other words unless you...

Interesting I just finished reading through this rather informative and interesting thread. I have downloaded and played around with Maptools. Yesterday I was able to play using a VTT for the first time using FGII. One important thing that hasn't really been discussed enough probably because...
