4 out of 5 rating for Fantasy Grounds I have used Fantasy grounds for over 5 years and have also used most other VTT's available on the market. Simply put from the point of view of someone whom runs the game almost exclusively, the interface is excellent. Fantasy Grounds is one of the few VTT's...

Hi! This. While all the RPG forums love arguing about why this version of D&D is better than another the most probable observation that can be made is that since Hasbro has owned D&D edition lifespan has been getting shorter and shorter and have included "reboots" in the form of half-editions...

Hi! I completely agree with you about the armed forces being more accepting. I was in the naval reserve during med school (the navy in fact paid for my schooling and I would go on active duty every summer), and I was very happy with the large amount of people in the military that not only new...

Hi! Alas no. :) That probably explains why my circle of friends does not include a single doctor. They just wouldn't get how funny your comment is! :) Primarchone

Hi! After reading the whole thread it's interesting to see how some professions really do look "ill" at certain interests. I can give you some insight as to things in medicine. I'm a doctor. Multiple sub specialties, board certified, the whole nine yards. It would be an understatement to say...

Hi! I used one as the DM in 1E in the mid 80's. The confrontation was the end game in the arduous task of collecting the pieces of the Rod of Seven Parts. The last part was in the belly of the Tarrasque itself! The group was known as the Thunderlords, due to one of its members wielding the...

Hi! I agree with this completely. Most definitions I have seen are too subjective and are a "moving target". In business a market leader is he with the largest market share. Its an objective measure. You either have the most market share or you don't. AT this point in time, that's WOTC hands...

Hi! I believe that by releasing books in this format (PHB/DMG/MM/etc.) in numbered volumes (1,2,3,etc), is a very wise move by WOTC, becuase it guarantees spikes in sales for them every time such a book is released, instead of the very high initial sales when a new edition is released and the...

Hi! The golden question has always been if WOTC made money off the OGL. You'll see a lot of speculation on this, but no official word. My suspicion is that it didn't. I base that on 4e being GSL and much more closed in comparison to OGL. If OGL had been some sort of cash cow, it would not...

Hi! I'm about to attempt the same thing... with a twist. I have 3 players physically where I live and two more whom live far away. We are going to start to play adding the two remote players via webcams. It would be nice to see if anyone has recommendations as to what webcams to use...

Hi! Correct! As I mentioned in my previous post with numbers easily verifiable, the "posting community" is a VERY small proportion of the total consumer base for D&D. The inference one could make from any poll here, regardless of subject is: "Out of the people whom voted the opinion is.... "...

Hi! Incorrect. You can easily find out the total amount of registered posters of each of the main websites dealing in RPG's. For fun, double that number and compare it to the estimated 20 million D&D player base worldwide. If you do a more accurate count and only take into account the ACTIVE...

Hi! Given that the numbers of posters on all forums are less than one percent of the total D&D customer base, I don't think WOTC has much to worry about...... Primarchone

Hi! I'm somewhat amused by internet polls regarding D&D and the conclusion some would like to derive from them. The reality is that such polls are statistically meaningless. Why? People whom play D&D AND post thier opinions about it are a VERY small minority of the player base. How to know...

Hi! I've DM'ed for 28 years and I agree with those, that beyond the initial outfitting of the PC, the prices never come up again. Mostly they find or make their own after that. One HUGE reason, at least for me, is that the lower price means the resale value is also low and PC groups who love...

Hi! I wholeheartedly agree. I believe the MAJORITY (easily 2-3 to 1) of people don't care about "openness". For many its an abstract concept with little bearing on their purchases. It's funny how many view OGL as some sort of entitlement. It's not. It was, in simplistic terms, a "gift". WOTC...

Hi! I don't post on these forums much, but I find it extemely refreshing to find a poster who understands how this small niche called gaming works. Kudos to you sir! :) Back to deep lurking..... Primarchone

Hi! Basically having used everything out there over the last several years, as a DM, DM genie wins hands down. It has all the tools and an intuitive easy to use interphase. The only downside is entering non-SRD material which can be time consuming, but the ability to write scripts is so awesome...

Hi! While I don't post much here, I have been a fan of the scarred lands (picked up everything they published), do you have a website or blog where you update people about your scarred lands revision nightfall? I'd be interested in getting that revision when it becomes available. Thanks...

Hi! I have actively been using DMgenie for the past 4 years as a DM. I have used pretty much everything else there is during that time. IMO DMgenie has all of the things a DM needs to run a game effortlessly with the added bonus that its highly customizable if you now a little VBscripting. The...
