    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    We are not at liberty to share any information about the license terms. As for looking for groups, we set up individual forums for different game systems and most people post there and occasionally on the FG calendar page (or both).

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    We link story entries to encounters that have a list of monsters, like 5 - Trolls 1 - Owlbear 2 - Orcs Whenever you build an encounter, it will show X copies of that token underneath each entry and then you can drag those to a map to set the pre-placement. If you want to scale it down, you just...

    We will be at Gen Con again this year and will most definitely have D&D up and running for people to play around with.

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    You can create your own treasures in advance and they will be stored in a window full of Treasure Parcels. Most DM's start with a map, build a story entry and then link the story to the map and the treasures, npcs and encounters to the story. If you need a magic item that isn't yet available...

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    You can make characters for your players in advance or they can log onto your game and make their characters while connected. It would be recommended to also buy the D&D Basic Rules and Theme pack in addition to the FG license because it includes the basic races and the 4 basic classes. It will...

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    You will need one of the non-free licenses of Fantasy Grounds to use any of these modules. Generally, the players don't need to buy anything that the DM has purchased. They can access it while connected to the DM if the DM chooses to share those with players. If players want to access the...

    Yes, it is an either/or option. You either subscribe or you buy a one-time purchase.

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    Once we catch up with the backlog of items that we still need to finish (Hoard of the Dragon Queen, The Rise of Tiamat, The DMG, Princes of the Apocalypse), then we should start releasing them at the same time that the books hit the public.

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    The Druid Pack has the content from the book and abilities that are accessed at various levels. You drag the druid class link to your character sheet from your library and it will add a level of the class and all abilities that unlock at that level, plus add the new hit die. You can then drag...

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    The pricing for the FG Ultimate license is indeed $149. We added a subscription option for the same thing at $9.99 a month that we believe should be comparable with Mentor level access of Roll20. For a 1 month sub at $9.99 and the D&D Basic Rules and Theme pack at $2.99, you can try it out for a...

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    Hey guys. I thought I'd post a new link that covers things a bit better. You can play for free if your DM has the Ultimate license (one-time of $149) or subscription ($9.99 a month) or each person can buy a license (one time $39) or $3.99/mo. All of these options include a basic D&D 5E ruleset...

    WotC's Adam Lee discusses cinematic flair in a new Behind the Screens

    That is one thing I always loved about Deadlands. If the players get killed, they return as undead gunslingers, magicians or whatever they were in life -- but with an evil hitch-hiker inside their head for the ride.

    I would definitely Take 20 searching that room for additional secret stashes. :)

    pogre's model and figure thread

    Those look nice. With the bones figures, what sort of prep did you need to do? I have a bunch of those from the first KS, but I haven't painted any yet. Did you still have to primer them?

    Take A Look Inside The TEMPLE OF ELEMENTAL EVIL Board Game!

    I should probably play it some more. I have all of them, but I've probably only played it 5-6 times (across all three sets.) We played two of the Strahd scenarios, the Dracolich, one where the tunnels were collapsing and probably once or twice more that I can't really remember. Do you have any...

    Deadlands: Stone and a Hard Place –The Weird West Meets the OK Corral!

    The Classic Deadlands is near and dear to many, but the Deadlands Reloaded version is re-written to take advantage of simpler and more consistent rules. It still has the poker cards for initiative and different types of poker chips that really add to the atmosphere. While it uses Savage Worlds...

    Take A Look Inside The TEMPLE OF ELEMENTAL EVIL Board Game!

    I can't recall where the quote came from, but I remember reading that they were going to continue using the same rules since those worked well for a board game environment and as Dimitri states, would keep it compatible. Has anyone actually mix-and-matched the tiles and monsters before for...

    New Cooperative D&D Video Game Allows a DM To Run The Adventure

    That looks awesome. I would love to see this in a turn-based version, but I suspect it will be RTwP. I'll settle for that.

    Deadlands: Stone and a Hard Place –The Weird West Meets the OK Corral!

    Every RPG Gamer should play in or host a Deadlands campaign at least once in their life. The setting and rules are fantastic. There are even rules that allow your players to continue playing the game after they die. In a campaign I recently ran, I set it up so that every player who died...
