You keep comparing Roll20 to FG for a player experience and state that you could do everything you need by entering in text and macros yourself for free instead of spending $50 for the full PHB content. Guess what, you can do that without buying the Class Pack content in FG as well. In most...

To fully implement all the rules in the PHB and then in the DMG would be a massive and error-prone undertaking. To even attempt a subset of those sort of rules, AAA game companies normally employ a small army of developers and content folks and even then they typically prune the list of features...

We did not add additional maps this time where there were not maps already included. We may add some more at a future date, but that was a bonus feature for HOTDQ. Those maps are pretty generic though, so you can always re-use them from one campaign to the next. Where ROT has a map, it is...

Any battle where your player's characters spill their beer should only award half experience. Maybe we can add in a prompt after each battle that asks, "Did anyone spill their beer?"

You might consider looking at the $9.99/mo sub for a DM and their entire group and the $2.99 D&D Basic Rules pack for along with this or the other $20 adventures. You'd be looking at a pretty low cost with some of the data pre-loaded for the classes and races and just have to manually enter the...

To use the licensed D&D content, you'll need either a standard license ($39) or a standard monthly sub ($3.99) and then whatever content player content you want. The Complete Core Class Pack ($49.99) has all the content from the PHB and the portraits -- basically all the classes pack stuff and...

This. That content is also included in the full Princes of the Apocalypse pack but will be broken out as a separate, small purchase for people who just want the race and other player info without the adventure. What happens if I just want to be a player and have all the player content? What...

1. It is not necessary to have the MM packs for this adventure, Lost Mine of Phandelver or Rise of Tiamat. That will not be the case for the Princes of the Apocalypse adventure. It will require the MM. 2. Correct. The player packs or complete pack are not necessary to play. You can fill out...

Nylanfs is correct. The sub (9.99) gives you the use of the software for 1 DM and any number of players and the standard sub (3.99) gives you the program and same stuff as the Ultimate sub, but without covering all your players too. The price for this add-on covers the pre-loading of...

We are still catching up with the products which have been released to date. We should be all caught up in time for a simultaneous release for Out of the Abyss later this year. The Rise of Tiamat should be coming out soon, followed by Princes of the Apocalypse (probably in a month -- hopefully...

We have submitted Hoard of the Dragon Queen for review by Wizards of the Coast. The Rise of Tiamat is mostly complete and ready to submit after Hoard passes. The DMG and Princes of the Apocalypse are still in the works. We don't yet have an ETA for those. Eventually, we should get close to...

While there is a fair amount of automation for players, the main focus of the app is to improve upon the experience as a Dungeon Master. I'm glad to see that you are enjoying it so far.

A new D&D Fifth Edition session just got launched and is accepting players for a Saturday, one shot game on Fantasy Grounds. Since it is part of FG Con, playing is completely free. Go to www.fg-con.com to sign up and follow the links to get all the software and info you need...

We periodically have sales. On one occasion, we were able to discount an entire line of products from Pinnacle Entertainment Games (for Savage Worlds) because they did a complete re-pricing of all their PDFs.

Maps can be re-used, and you can even set it to re-use story entries to some degree. Many other features are slightly different between the two systems though. For instance, NPC records look substantially different between different rulesets - with the exception of 3.5E and Pathfinder. That...

I made need to leave that question up to the folks who wrote the extension. Posting the question on the FG Forum where the extension is available is probably your best bet. If you need to hide a specific token for furniture, you might be able to add it to a blank NPC record called "furniture" or...

I think he is referring to a custom extension some of the FG users wrote. There was one floating around the forums called enhanced images. We haven't incorporated this feature into the core app yet since we wanted to spend a little more time working out the exact architecture that we really...

Since the Complete Core Class Pack contains all 12 of the sub-packs plus the base PC customization pack, we decided that the description would get overly complicated to add this to that product. Instead, we added a single line to the top of all the sub packs that reads as follows:

Mirtek, If you have any license, you can run a Check for Updates and it will temporarily upgrade to an Ultimate license. We do this to support the community run and organized FG Con (www.fg-con.com) twice a year. That means that you can let your friends connect to you and play with just a...

Other than the most recent review, Fantasy Grounds has received very positive reviews here on ENWorld. You can read them here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?386930-Fantasy-Grounds This was prior to the availability of official D&D content.
