If you are just downloading it as a freebie without actually contributing to the charity, then I would suggest that you are doing it wrong.

These areas are scheduled to be improved upon -- specifically drawing. By default, each player (and the GM) will always draw in the dice color they have selected. This makes it easy to tell who "owns" what effect. Toggling visibility of a token doesn't delete any of the pointers or area of...

Got it. No, there is no ping animation currently. It works a bit different. It looks like you want the ping to draw their attention and to move the map to focus on that area. In FG, many DM's draw attention with pointers or by flashing the visibility of a token. To sync all the player's views...

No offense taken. Unusual Dice. You can make custom dice strings now, such as 1d73. Type /die 1d73 and you can save it to a hotkey slot if you want by dragging it to the hotkey bar. This may have been added after you tried it. Tooltips. This somewhat depends on the ruleset but many of them...

Our focus is mostly on making life easier for the DM, but I'm curious what sort of features you felt were missing and which game system you played. Moving from one interface to another may take a few sessions or so, but I often hear a lot of "wow" moments when I introduce new players to it from...

Yes, there definitely is. With the recent acquisition of Tabletop Connect, we plan to implement both 2D and 3D map creation within FG instead of simply being a consumer of maps from outside sources and programs. While this older video focuses on some of the cool new 3D mapping we will work to...

By the way, you might be referring to this new toolset that we've been working on as part of the prep for the DMG DLC. Our plan is to include this functionality in the base 5E ruleset for Fantasy Grounds. It will obviously be much better paired with the preloaded content from the DMG...

I'm not entirely sure that I understand what it is you want or exactly have a problem with. It's kind of like saying that you want the ability to play a PlayStation game without having to buy a PlayStation. Holding it "hostage" doesn't make must sense to me either. If you think that our version...

Note that you can also drag that into your campaign's item list and edit the price directly by unlocking it. Having a global tool that sets base prices up or down or maybe by vendor would be neat. Once the DMG is released, we expect to receive a lot more feedback on this specific area and I...

There are actually no official prices for magic items, but only a range of prices based on the magic item's rarity. For now, we've assigned a random value within that range, but we want to wait and see how the feedback is for it before we decide if that will be the method we keep long term.

It all depends on how much you want preloaded and whether or not you want to cover the cost for your entire group or not. $4/month or $10/month after the trial if you keep it active and you only enter content not found in the basic rules. The adventures are probably the best bang for the buck...

The basic player's guide and DM's guide modules come with the trial as well. There is a bit of a learning curve, but we hope that with 30 days, it should give people more than enough time to get in, build a few characters, build encounters and stories and run through some game sessions with...

Yes, that can be done. With the same license, you can run two instances of Fantasy Grounds so that you have the player view of the map and initiative tracker up for the players to see and manipulate with a shared map on one view and the DM view only on your laptop screen.

The manual is mostly divided up into the Wiki or as Guides on Steam (same basic content). The majority of the user documentation is presented in videos and guides available from the Wiki now. This is constantly being expanded. http://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/Videos There are also...

The user interface on tablets would need to be redesigned for that form factor and would likely be a separate application altogether, but with a large amount of the base app forming a solid base. Linked player-facing interfaces would be the first instances available.

You can drag any of our shortcuts (basically anything) to any other image and hold down CTRL when you do. Let go and it will place a pushpin there which links back to the item you dragged. The common thing is to create a story entry that might have further links to other images, npcs, items...

I personally think it works excellently as a tool for a DM at the table. It's great for tracking initiative and for not having to flip between several different books. Innate Spellcasters and Spellcasters, for instance, will have their full spell descriptions automatically imported into their...

iPad and other tablet and mobile interfaces are on our roadmap for development. We are in the middle of a big overhaul of the core engine to move the platform to Unity and then we will be working on some additional planned development, including a version suitable for use on the iPad and other...

I can't speak towards any plans that Wotc might have regarding PDFs. I'm not privy to that information at all. From our perspective, FG is not meant to replace PDFs. We just try to make it the best for what it tries to do and that is primarily focused at making it easier for DM's to run games...

You could just do the Tome of Monsters for $39 and that equals out to basically 10 cents a monster. They did a great job with all the stretch goals and other stuff, though, so the Book of Lairs looks like a great deal too and the next thing you know, you're in at $90 or $150.
