    D&D Does Digital Part III: PDFs

    We considered this when we drafted our agreement for carrying conversions on Fantasy Grounds. The products are transferable from one device to another device as long as they are linked to your account, but remain in Fantasy Grounds format. Our agreement means that any purchases made for Wotc...

    SCAG Now On FANTASY GROUNDS VTT

    It's available on Steam now too. http://store.steampowered.com/app/415570 We did also add in the NPCs that were provided in PDF format for free by Wotc from the Sword Coast Legends. I expect that we will add the character sheet versions of those as a future update too.

    Hell's Bounty Awaits.....Brimstone and the Borderhounds

    That is looking very sweet. It sounds like a fun setting and the artwork really inspires. I have a reminder set to check back on it later.

    Sword Coast Legends To Introduce RAGE OF DEMONS and Tile Based Editor

    While I grew to love NWN and all the successors, I actually remember being disappointed with it at the beginning. I don't know how many other people shared that sentiment at the time, but many of us only seem to think of how well we liked the game after the 2nd and 3rd NWN products hit and...

    Sword Coast Legends To Introduce RAGE OF DEMONS and Tile Based Editor

    I disagree. It's not as tactical as it would be with a turn-based approach (my preference), but you still have similar tactics that you have in Baldur's Gate and other RTwP style games. Summoning a pet monster and buffing them and others before entering an area, dropping sleep over grouped...

    Sword Coast Legends To Introduce RAGE OF DEMONS and Tile Based Editor

    I've always thought they had a very fun and enjoyable base for a game -- even for a DM, but more-so in the single player realm. I wish more companies would do this sort of thing instead of just throwing out something that is solid and starting over. For instance, the Temple of Elemental game is...

    White Wolf Bought By Paradox

    Maybe they will relaunch a Kindred the Embraced series, but put it on HBO. :)

    White Wolf Bought By Paradox

    I wouldn't mind seeing a HBS like version of Vampire available on Steam. Shadowrun Returns with Vampires would be nice.

    FANTASY GROUNDS Usage Reports: D&D, Pathfinder, & SAVAGE WORLDS

    It's a popular German game, Das Schwarze Auge (translated: The Dark Eye) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Eye https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_Schwarze_Auge

    RPG Sales From a Game Store's Perspective

    I always think it is funny when "balance" is listed as a reason. The official products are anything but balanced as well. Power creep happens in Pathfinder just like it has in many other systems and the shear volume of options makes it possible to have two characters in the same game that have...

    FANTASY GROUNDS Usage Reports: D&D, Pathfinder, & SAVAGE WORLDS

    Savage Worlds is a great system with a small, but loyal following. Fantasy Grounds has very strong Savage Worlds support available for it and our numbers probably skew a bit as a result. The ruleset is only $10 for Fantasy Grounds and it includes the rulebook. In addition, it's a flexible...

    Mike Schley's MASSIVE Forgotten Realms Map From SCAG!

    The Fantasy Grounds version has push-pins that bring up detailed information about locations on the maps. These might include additional maps of the cities and background information that you can further enhance as needed. The release date for that won't be until 11/3 to coincide with the...

    A Quick Look At EN World's Demographics

    I really hope that is the case, because our gender stats suck for our site too. The only positive I see if the stats are true is that there could possibly be some sort of elusive "thing" that we would find that would suddenly put us on the radar for women gamers and our population would...

    RPG Sales From a Game Store's Perspective

    Even though adventures sell much worse than core books, they have an affect on the sales volume for the core if they aren't there. Seeing a bunch of adventures available for a system makes consumers much more confident in the core system.

    D&D Does Digital Part II: Virtual Tabletops

    I think Shannon Applecline should add a new volume to his excellent series. If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend reading up on Designers & Dragons as well. It only barely touches on the digital aspect, but it is incredibly thorough on the rest of the RPG industry. It's also a very...

    What's All This About Third Party 5E Stuff?

    Great post. This should hopefully clear it up for a lot of people. Anyone attempting to create something in this space should make absolutely certain that they know all the rules forwards and backwards before they even think about starting something.

    Now You Can Play With Vin Diesel's WITCH HUNTER Class!

    This module has now been converted for use on the Fantasy Grounds virtual tabletop. The class module file can be found on the thread below and we were given permission by Matt Mercer to share it in this format. Enjoy...

    D&D Does Digital Part II: Virtual Tabletops

    We do have some cool stuff planned in that area. In the meantime, a lot of people just run a Google Hangout side-by side with FG. Running over two monitors helps.

    D&D Does Digital Part II: Virtual Tabletops

    It's a valid concern and a decision to work with a few publishers making 5E content was not done lightly on our part as a result. Our ability to continue selling official D&D content is obviously dependent upon Wizards of the Coast's desire to continue the relationship. Anyone who already has...

    D&D Does Digital Part II: Virtual Tabletops

    I think you can check the reviews on Steam or on ENWorld for Fantasy Grounds to see that the implementation of D&D fifth edition has been very successful with meeting or exceeding user expectations. Our Steam community is generally a small segment of our overall user population, but it should...
