    D&D 5E Roll20 or Fantasy Grounds?

    If you wanted to give 5e a run on Fantasy Grounds I would get the Lost Mines of Phandelver ($20) and the $4/month sub and learn how it works for a week or 3 and then switch to the $10 sub (then your players play free) and run your players through that. id be surprised if you and your players...

    D&D 5E Roll20 or Fantasy Grounds?

    I havent played that much on Roll20 - about 6 sessions only and no 5e. Roll20s strengths are in my experience - * the free option (though its not really free - you are being subsidised by those who are paying the subs - they stop paying and join the ranks of free users and then the service...

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    emdw45 in my experience I avoid massive maps. other gms will use them. i also wont usually have every single person loaded and active on the map at the same time. i use encounters, lots of them. and i use pins to link the encounters to their locations. you have a room with an encounter (ohh look...

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    Mistwell - the bulk of the other stuffs pricing goes to the good folks who wrote the other games. the base product, the engine, the smarts - these all have value too and these were written by SmiteWorks. They deserve to get paid too. The price is what it is. Its not for everyone. For me, hands...

    oh and you cant achieve any where near the combat tracker coolness in roll20. not today. the combat tracker does so much for you. saves so much time and effort for both GM and players.

    hola vandaexpress the maps by default open up so they fit. they have been scaled down to 35 or 50px per square (I wish they were all just 50px) just use your scroll wheel to zoom in. hold down the ctrl key to see all the pins pop up with links to all the encounters and story content right where...

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    as good as character creation is in Fantasy Grounds dedicated tools still tend to do a more complete/detailed job. the character creation in Fantasy Grounds is designed around facilitating game play. i guess the main reason you are asking is because of the lack of such a tool for 5e.... id...

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    one thing to note here - if the player has a "pack" that the GM doesnt have they probably cant use it online as the GM cant approve packs they dont have... anything the gm has they can make available to the player(s) while she is connected to the GM. you can totally play 5e without buying a...

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    Hola guys - the coding etc behind these frameworks is incredibly complex. Converting a source book to work with Fantasy Grounds is also complex. The DMG is about half way thru the conversion and is expected to be available around the end of May. All products need to be reviewed by the Wizards...

    @Iosue - the most reasonably priced option for using FG here is: you get 2x $4/month subscriptions to FG. you use https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?21835-D-amp-D-Basic-Rules-PDF-Parser to suck in the Basic PDF (download from Wizards). you dont get the theme and you dont get...
