That is the biggest issue with a lot of game base movies and TV. It is a different medium the gameplay is not what makes a good story.

It does not really. By processed, I think you mean where the memory and cpu of the machine running a particular instance of the application, is located? That would be locally.

Neither of those was what I meant. I was responding to @Thomas Shey, when he queried who was paying for the brokering site. At least that was how I understood his questions.

Smiteworks maintains the connect site.

I think, from some recent interviews (Mike Mearls in particular) book dependency is the bad thing not lore or metaplot per se. If you sell a book that requires a setting book, then the sales of that book will be hurt by the dependency. The same if there is too much dependency in movies or TV series.

That was my first thought also.

I believe that it can be run in that way. Mind you I have not tested that.

Sorry, I am not sure what you mean here?

Feeling that you do not have a baliwick to defend, immediately take you of about 90% of the drama.

I wonder did the fact that you picked the book up without strong preconceptions make a difference? Given that you are not actively gaming means that you do not have a bailiwick to defend so to speak.

From their support page if one uses the LAN setting for the machine hosting it looks like the application can be run without the using the cloud brokering service.

Classic certainly worked that way. I was under impression that Unity still could but I have never tried, since I had a lot of issues with port forwarding on my end. However, looking at it new I am not certain that it could still be done.

FG was alwaysrun from the local machine which has pros and cons. The main con being that one need some heft in the upload

That is assuming that the VTT is the end goal. I think that this is more of a Hasbro project than a purely WoTC one. It is a job that is complex enough to get a good dev team out of it, if they can make it work. Once it is working, they can leverage that experience and some of the code base to...

Automation, in this context, generally refers to the VTT doing stuff like the math, taking into account save and so forth, For instance the wizard cast fireball, They select the creatures affected and activate the effect. The table rolls the dice, including the save and calculated the full and...

To be honest this is even worse. Any rise in tariffs is inflationary by the nature of tariffs, if they are one and done but a business relying on imported products as an input will have to price assuming the worst or if available switch to a more expensive supplier that is less likely to be hit...

Yeah, the recent updates to FGU have given me a lot of hope.

I goth the invite and tried it, got a survey but only had time for one session. We could not figure out how to get the test module running. I think it should accept the die rolls from the D&DBeyond character sheet, as least as an option. I love the simplicity of the D&DBeyond maps. As a long...

I use FantasyGrounds and D&DBeyonds maps

Jus spit balling here and have no idea if this could pertain to a setting like Birthright. The thought occurs to me that Project Sigil is supposed to handle 2d maps. Then one could play boardgames on it and that opens up the possibility of a hybrid boardgame/rpg. Where starting quests determine...
