apologies if i misunderstood your comment.

yeah lets do that. lets do that because it means you and i dont have to do jack. it means i dont have to do the uncomfortable stuff like asking the bloke beside me his comments or roleplaying is unacceptable, it means i dont have to reach out to a complete stranger and make sure she is ok, and I...

I honestly think that derailing the main thread and starting side shows is exactly what some people want to have happen exactly because it prevents the main thread from achieving what it hopes to.

Id like to point out that the game in question was not refused - it was unconditionally approved, supported and promoted. I specifically advertised the game through newsletters and social media posts. That the game didnt run disappoints me a little. I always want to see games run. What really...

This is true. We should be having these conversations at work, at sporting groups, everywhere. I havent read all 70+ pages of posts here but I am of the opinion that we should accept the word of complainants as being true. If its an allegation of verbal impropriety a word with the accused is...

Its counting GM sessions not players. If you run your 5e game once during december it got counted once for december. If you run your 5e game 4x in december then it got counted four times for december.

Last nights Dungeon World using CoreRPG + MoreCore.

I play in a 5e campaign and I run Dungeon World fairly regularly and occasional Trail of Cthulhu games.

Heya I'm A Banana - turning visibility on and off has zero effect (as far as ive ever encountered) on pointers or effects. If a PC is targeting this actor then the targeting will be cancelled (from 3.1.2 onwards). Currently the pointers cant be done as you describe. Each player (and the GM)...

Many tools implement a similar feature in a different way. FG doesnt have a ping but you can draw arrows, circles, cones, squares on the map - player or GM. These automatically colour the same as your dice to make it easy to work out whose things are whose. You can draw a "quick"...

The ADD2 ruleset is the better of the 2 Fantasy grounds options listed. http://www.fantasygrounds.com/filelibrary/community/rulesets/ADD2.pak It isnt nearly as polished as the newer CoreRPG rulesets but it works pretty well. It doesnt come with any source content as there is no license...

The 3.5 and 4e rulesets are also very robust on Fantasy Grounds. 3.5 comes prepackaged with a bunch of OGL material and you can use your DDI subscription to pull all the 4e data into Fantasy Grounds too. 5e is bringing gamers back to the table and it helps most games grow their userbases as...

a lot of players who have had Fantasy Grounds licenses for a long time but were no longer actively using them have rejoined and are playing 5e using Fantasy Grounds and a lot of new players have purchased Fantasy Grounds specifically to play 5e. on a recent gaming day where 16 one shots ran 7 of...

Its not artificially higher. Its higher because its a good system, its fun and its so easy on Fantasy Grounds. My Castles&Crusades campaign is on hiatus while we play D&D5e and I know many other GMs in a similar position. In that period Ive played Castles&Crusades, CallOfCthulhu, SavageWorlds...

Thanks transtemporal - the reason I was talking about that aspect is in relation to the question of houseruling. Fantasy Grounds isnt sold as a Character Builder or advertised as one. The system is designed around the role playing side of things rather than the character building side of things...

neither of these statements are particularly good arguments. it is a virtual table top its not a character builder. character builders are another beast altogether. FG does not advertise itself as a character builder. roll20, d20pro, maptools are also VTT products - not character builders. Hero...

the system is absolutely designed to allow you to houserule. thats one big reason why its not a full blown character builder because (probably) most games houserule something. whether you can make teh system automate your houserule is a different matter. you might be able to do it with an Effect...

Hey smiteworks the D&D Basic Rules Pack is $2.99 not $3.99! It includes 4 basic classes, 4 basic races, a stack of spells (about 200) and a stack of critters (about 200), equipments lists. Really easy way to try out the basics of the 5e system. the full books contain much more info and features.

transtemporal - thats a shame - Id be happy to have a short one one one session with you and try and work thru your questions/challenges/issues.

On the subject of CoreRPG - I am a fan. CoreRPG does need better dice options but the flexibility of the framework is amazing. I wrote an extension for CoreRPG that adds clickable weapon attacks, draggable damage, automation of hit points and damage, incorporates targetting and more. It can very...
