    Tom B1, fair enough. But one thing to consider is that most FG users don't bother with the hard cover. Rather than that $50, they spend only $25 on the electronic version which has everything the book does (and often more). As one example, the reason I started this thread in the first place was...

    Sneak Peek At Ghosts of Saltmarsh Maps

    As happens on INTERNET, numbers are being hyperbolized. I said 400-600 not 600-800. And there's much more things than just copying and pasting, so yes, I've done these conversion, granted mine were much smaller, but Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron took me about 120 hours and it's pretty lore heavy...

    Hey whoa whoa whoa... As I understand it, condesension implies "an attitude of patronizing superiority" and I never intedned that at all. I was simply stating that expressing a position of "not boding well for Fantasy Grounds" simply because there is a complicated process behind making a good...

    Sneak Peek At Ghosts of Saltmarsh Maps

    I listed a full example of what might be needed, and those are all needed for an example of a book that probably every person using a VTT to play 5E might want, the Player's Handbook. I barely scratched the surface of the many backend processies that are required to make an electronic version of...

    Well let's see... Considering the steps it takes to make a book from a WotC property into a Fantasy Grounds module... 1. Resize all images to fit nicely on the screen for users. Maps and artwork. 2. Make Tokens for NPCs. 3. Build all Pregenerated Characters. 4. Build all Rollable Tables. 5...

    I'm a D&D person through and through, as a matter of fact, I have never played even 5 minutes of Pathfinder EVER. Having said that, I do know that if you buy a Paizo product PDF, you get that price directly off the Fantasy Grounds VTT price of the same module. It's like getting the PDF for FREE...

    Most people don't realize that it takes about 400-600 hours of work to convert the average WotC book into Fantasy Grounds format. Also, there is usually EXTRA stuff, like automated table and encounter makers, etc. Like fo rexample the Dungeon Master's Guide has an Item forge where you can...

    Ugh. The fact that people AREN'T upset by this is UPSETTING! I will say I'm kind of bias tho... I do all my playing on the Fantasy Grounds VTT and having black and white maps just seems wrong. But I buy the books ($50) and I also buy the FG modules ($25) and the DnD Beyond version, so I'm in for...

    Dyson Logos is a fine artist, but is anyone else upset because we're paying $50 for BLACK and WHITE maps? WotC needs to tighten it up in my estimation.
