    D&D Increases Its Lead In Orr Groups Q3 2015 Report

    It all depends on how many people you have on the project and what you expect the system to actually do. Yes, you can get a very basic system set up in as little as a few months. It won't do but a fraction of what existing VTTs do and it won't have much content. The problem is that the market of...

    D&D Increases Its Lead In Orr Groups Q3 2015 Report

    Well, the budgets for MMO games are usually in the millions of dollars range. The VTT space is growing, but it is no where near the size of an MMO market yet. There was a recent MMO built by an RPG company and we see that even a few million dollars was not enough. If there are a million users...

    D&D Increases Its Lead In Orr Groups Q3 2015 Report

    I'm not familiar with OpenRPG, but depending on the ruleset, Fantasy Grounds provides a lot of automation. Underestimating the scope of the problem is a common thing. That's why you see a new VTT pop up every few months on Kickstarter. A single RPG book might be 300 pages and be full of rules...

    D&D Increases Its Lead In Orr Groups Q3 2015 Report

    I will second what has already been said. The two top RPG companies both invested in making their own VTT. In both cases, they got fairly far along in the very beginning and it looked like they were much farther along than they actually were. After an initial investment, both projects were...

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

    I converted the PDF into a playable character class for Fantasy Grounds and sent a request to Geek & Sundry to see if they will let me share the completed module with people. In the meantime, here is a quick link showing what it would look like in Fantasy Grounds...

    FANTASY GROUNDS To Support Kobold Press' TOME OF BEASTS

    Even better than that, we will normally preset the FG grid placement for the map.

    Here's VIN DIESEL Playing That D&D Game!

    I would be too, but I'd roll with it as best as I could and hope that I'd not be too out of place. I have probably done more voice acting as a DM than I have as a player. The current group I'm in focuses much more on the tactical combat side of things and is very light on the roleplaying.

    Here's VIN DIESEL Playing That D&D Game!

    Thanks for the tip. I started at Episode 1 and have it running on a second monitor while I work. This group is awesome. The voice acting is top notch... which I guess is something you'd expect with a group of mostly voice actors.

    Nicely done. That looks like it was a fun group of players and a great DM. This is how I DM in my head. :)

    How 3D Printing is Upending the Miniature Industry

    People have been able to create their own 3d miniature terrain similar to Dwarven Forge for quite a while, and yet Dwarven Forge continues to flourish. You can still cast a much larger quantity of cavern pieces using Hirst Arts molds (or similar products) in a much faster time period than you...

    FANTASY GROUNDS Goes 3D With TABLETOP CONNECT

    The need for port forwarding will go away once the move to Unity is complete.

    FANTASY GROUNDS Goes 3D With TABLETOP CONNECT

    I'm not sure yet about Hololens. It's super cool, and we might... but it's not on our immediate short list.

    FANTASY GROUNDS Goes 3D With TABLETOP CONNECT

    Hey guys, just a quick note or two here. The interface for FG will continue to allow for 2d interfaces. Carl's first priorities are with helping us get fully moved over to Unity and then to help with the many different enhancements that have been asked for with 2D environments - tile mapping...

    D&D 5E (2014) [FANTASY GROUNDS] D&D Rage of Demons: Out of the Abyss is now available

    Yes, we include the full stats so that the module is fully contained. It won't require the MM or Complete Core Monster Pack for Fantasy Grounds. For the maps, I use Photoshop and some styles from one of our other developers, Zeph Ponos. It enabled me to make all 13 of the tunnel maps in just a...

    [UPDATED] Out of the Abyss Reviews Have Started Rolling In

    The idea of having terrible things happen to poor hapless NPCs allied with the players sounds like a great tool for a DM to have available. I have found that often times my players care quite a bit about their pet NPCs. If the NPC is annoying, you can also wait for karmic retribution to land on...

    [UPDATED] Out of the Abyss Reviews Have Started Rolling In

    Just a minor one. :D It is mostly in response to other threads about digital versions of the maps being available for sale from Mike Schley directly. By the same token, we have digital versions of the player and DM maps included for play in the digital Fantasy Grounds version too. Our versions...
