Thanks for the reply. Yes, that's true. I went over to the FG forum and read a few threads on their work getting Kickstarters squared away. http://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?33913-Warning-about-Kickstarters-Claiming-to-support-Fantasy-Grounds-add-ons/page2 It sounds like...

All right, thanks. Reference to photoshop or GIMP takes me full circle with respect to earlier investigations. From here, I think it's a matter of finding the best tool to use to create maps.

Thanks, Superchunk 77. That's illuminating. Does the pasted copy of the map retain its resolution? Let's say the scale is 1 square equals 5 feet, and the square itself, in real terms, is 1/4 inch squared.

What would be helpful to have from an adventure published by a third party? An unkeyed map? Player and GM versions of maps?

I may be totally wrong, but it seems to me, at first glance, that the quality and completeness of official releases on Fantasy Grounds surpass the quality and completeness of releases on Roll20. In other words, on FG, one has all the text available in pop-up text blocks. But, in Roll20, more...

Does the GM then refer to a PDF or print copy of the text? No VTT version of the actual adventuring text required?

Thanks for the reply. Backers of successful Kickstarters still request from creators that they make materials, especially maps, more user friendly for VTTs like Roll20. I'm thinking of one of Dan Coleman's recent module sets...

I notice many third-party adventure modules available in the Roll20 marketplace. Is it fairly simple to adapt a module for use on the platform? If so, is the ease of making modules available on the platform contributing to its rapid growth?

It's either a digital or a print medium for me, too. I like FG but am also open to an app. The most useful app for me would include a combat tracker.

Thanks for the offer to demo, but I'll likely spring for a one-month subscription to have a look at the platform.

I'm a severe allergy sufferer. I've switched to electronic submissions for students' essays. Otherwise I have an allergy attack from the paper dust and other allergens when grading a set of thirty-two multi-page paper submissions. Digital copies of sourcebooks appeal to me for that reason. I'm...

Thanks. This thread has given me a better understanding of the digital products available. FG has developed well. I'll probably ask some questions about FG in another thread.

I downloaded the FG demo in 2009 before it was as robust as it is now. It looked like the direction combat tracking would take. Probably the route I'd take today.

I recall when Wizards let Fluid, and then Code Monkey, develop its 3e character generation tools. https://index.rpg.net/display-entry.phtml?mainid=11971&editionid=13427 In anticipation of the Digital Initiative/Gleemax, Wizards then let the Code Monkey license expire. I was looking for a tool...

I like the direction Fantasy Grounds is taking. In 2015, they announced that they'd hired a designer to port their platform to the Unity Engine. http://www.fantasygrounds.com/press/ I hope the port allows FG to address one of my criticisms of online D&D games. D&D has to do with interactivity...

Wizards has a recognized brand with the Forgotten Realms. R. A. Salvatore's novels, for example, regularly have hit the NYT bestseller lists. But when it comes to video games, Wizards routinely underperforms with a well-known brand. By contrast, previously unknown brands like Star Citizen set...

Let me preface this comment by again offering my kudos to Wizards on the 5th edition. The new edition and the DMs Guild are steps in the right direction. They've pulled me away from modded Skyrim--which I'm using to read and listen to German--long enough to give 5e a look. That said, Wizards...

You're welcome. Good luck!

What are some examples of "low-magic" published adventures if the poster's campaign decides to take that approach?
