I'm just a long time Fantasy Grounds user (pretty much since it launched), and not a fanboy per se. I see things that I wish the software would improve on, but I'm confident that they will as time goes on. Still I wanted to chime in on this thread. Roll20 vs Fantasy Grounds is a matter of...

I like it. In my games, I'd likely keep HP as Endurance, and use the 4-5 multiple for Health. However, I'd make a few changes. I wouldn't allow such rapid healing with a long rest. I *would* allow healing magic to heal Health. It's magic, after all.

Hey Reynard- I should see you soon. I'm back in CT, and I have a vehicle this time. :D Edit: As for making mistakes, I've been following Necromancer's lead for now, obfuscating 5e specific material that isn't in the OGL. I figure they and other high profile projects will serve as a canary in...

I'd be thrilled if they made Basic the new SRD. My material is all new stuff based on the mechanical frameworks that basic lays out. If they allowed us to reference other material, such the spells and races from Elemental Evil by name, that would be gravy.

Sorry. I've used Roll20, and didn't like it. I still play in a Roll20 campaign, but I won't run with it. I had the best subscription possible, so I was using all the features and gave it a fair shot. Fantasy Grounds is what I prefer in terms of automation of gameplay. It's more like playing at...

I have two players already. One of them is a benevolent rules lawyer (I can handle *one*), but he doesn't know 5e. The other one is his wife, who is quiet, but a good gamer and roleplayer. They're old friends of mine, but I won't favor them. The game is definitely on. Still recruiting.

Ok, cool. Just so you know, aside from places of power that tweak magic and the abilities that growing up in those areas grant, the house rules take the form of things like character options. I'm not changing D&D's engine, just adding things, and restricting some minor races, one class and some...

Is there anything in particular that's turning you off? Maybe we can address it. The post seems inflexible because I'm trying for a best-case scenario, but I can adjust to reasonable issues. There are just a couple of things I find important. Time is the most flexible, but I want a weekend game.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I couldn't find a game recruitment forum. Hey everyone. I apologize if any of this information is redundant or obvious for the place I'm posting it. I'm casting a wide net with this recruitment because I'm short on time. I thought I'd have more people...

<Rhetorical question>What happened between you guys? I don't remember you guys ever butting heads like this when I used to frequent the site.</rhetorical question.> I agree with Umbran's points. I think there can be simple checks without roleplaying involved, that can lead to later roleplaying...

I'm running an extremely loose short term sandbox game for my group while we wait for one of our players to get situated in his new job so we can return to our normal GURPS campaign, run by another member of the group. It's not meant to be too serious or hardcore. We play online, using Fantasy...

If you want, I can open up a test campaign, and run you through some stuff- right now.

I edited my initial post. I didn't think you'd see it so quickly. :D

Fantasy Grounds is great, and the 5e ruleset handles most things automatically. For example, if you script it right (or drag the ability from a parsed rulebook onto a character sheet) you can simply target an enemy (control-click on them on the map), and click on your ability. The program then...

I'm not a network expert, but it sounds like you did everything right. What we used to do when we had a player with an ISP that interfered with port 1802 was to use Hamachi: http://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?20309-GM-Connection-Issues-Tried-Everything-Try-Hamachi Also, if...

I tend to do in-depth world building, then run my games extemporaneously, and it takes me an hour or so to get into the zone. Additionally, my current game is one that is not meant as a pickup game- it does take more than a short time to understand, as it makes a lot of things that are specific...

Atheism can also be defined as a life without god/s independent of belief in their existence. As mentioned, that can mean simply the lack of a deity that is considered worth worshipping, etc. My favorite take on this is the one that I use for one of the cultures in my setting: "If not for an...

I guess, for something like pure combat or other systems stuff, but I don't really get rolling as a GM until the second hour. :D I concede on this issue.

I might be, but not until the end of the month at the earliest. Also, it might be better to have a point system; X points allows you to GM a session of Y Hours in your game. 2 Hours is a pretty anemic session, IMO.

I've played 5th edition as is for a while, and almost every aspect of the game is absolutely perfect for me. It's the best edition so far. For one of my current gritty campaigns, however, the natural healing rules aren't working to make combat scary enough. Therefore, I wrote up some gritty...
