I'm just curious, are there actually Linux users out there who are uncomfortable with command line stuff or installing and configuring software? Almost everyone I've ever met or known who uses Linux is an IT professional. Granted, a lot of people I know are IT professionals, but still. For...

One of our three core developers is exclusively a Mac guy. We worked with him to build the Mac version on Steam and we have always limited ourselves to DirectX video calls that are very well supported in WINE. I realize that some other game and software companies may distribute sub-par versions...

Hello Mirtek, I'm not sure if you've run a Check for Updates recently, but we have pushed out a few data patches over the last few days. The Sage Personality Traits lists 8 options that can be selected or rolled randomly. The window has a scroll bar and may not show them all at once on your...

Some of these features can be dragged to your character sheet for reference during play. You will probably need to tweak these some under your powers screen if you want to automate some portion of them. For instance, to add Combat Superiority and maneuvers, you may want to set it up something...

That's the reason. Each of these is already covered up to 80% or so in the D&D basic rules for $2.99. The new pack adds portraits and the expanded class information and abilities. You only get a single style of fighter in the basic rules set, but with the fighter pack, you get additional...

I bought the non-sub version of Photoshop for myself for more than $600 IIRC. That was after previously owning a copy of Photoshop CS3, which was expensive in its own right. The other devs have the Adobe subs which add up to be a fair amount overall. Obviously, some people don't mind buying...

You can also look in the 5E forums. Since launching on Tuesday, there are a flood of new users who have come to Fantasy Grounds and picked up both of the Complete Core modules and the Lost Mine of Phandelver. I'm not sure how long it will take these new users to get comfortable enough to host...

It may be a barrier to some, but it's due to providing more options. Sales people will tell you to limit the options to two or three things. If you look on our store page, we've framed it as Option #1 Subscriptions or Option #2 Lifetime License and then Show the small # of options underneath...

Those replies are both correct. Some historical context (since Fantasy Grounds has been around since 2004): We used to have - a Lite license which was cheaper but only let you do player stuff - a Full license which let you use all the DM features of Fantasy Grounds, build your own rulesets and...

It includes the full text and images from the PHB or MM. Wherever possible, that "text" is converted into an appropriate VTT record, such as a Class, an NPC an Item, a Spell., etc. The images are normally linked in relation to the text, so a picture of an NPC would get set up as a link from the...

The drawing tools inside of FG are extremely light and not really suitable beyond a quick one-time map every now and then. The primary usage is to create or find an image outside of FG and then save and drag the image onto FG's image & maps window. The campaign will update in real-time to make...

We have nearly finished modules for Hoard of the Dragon Queen and The Rise of Tiamat. They need a little more quality checking before we send them to Wizards for review and approval. I would guess 10-15 business days. As for cutting words, your DM may want to change their preferences to set...

I posted some videos up-thread that show what it is like to enter your own data. You now just have the option to have all that professionally done for you.

This was just answered a few posts above, but the DM can share purchased content with players who connect to their game. If they want it while offline from the DM, they need to purchase it as well. The 5E ruleset is included with all licenses -- but it has zero data pre-loaded, much like what...

If the DM has them, (s)he can share them with the players that connect to the game. Players can't share with other players though.

That is somewhat hard to say for sure. We often do fairly large dungeons and we pre-place all the tokens as part of our building of the encounters. Even though they are pre-placed, they aren't actually placed onto the map until you decide to launch that encounter. Doing that keeps it from having...

Thanks for the kind words. I lurk here quite often. There are only two of us in the company and one other official developer, but thankfully we are also supported by an active and helpful fanbase. It's our passion, for sure.

If a DM has the modules, the players don't need to buy them to access them while connected to the DM. Only in the case of 6 DMs all playing who want to own all the options does it start to add up there, since there isn't an option for DM's to share the content among themselves. Many DM heavy...

It includes those.

I thought it might be helpful if I posted a quick video walkthrough of what the Core Monster Pack or smaller $4.99 Monster Packs actually look like. Since you can still key all this info yourself, you'll have to decide if the data entry and indexed lists plus the images and tokens are worth it...
