A new vidcast just went up, with Polygon playing D&D using Fantasy Grounds. So, if you're wondering what it's like to use FG, check it out.

It does: http://imgur.com/hzsYeuY

Ok, finished the first issue. The articles are short but well written, and there's a comic at the end (just like the old Dragon mag!) Two of the articles were written from the perspective of a player character. For example, there's an article written by a ranger that's like a travel guide to...

I think some people (myself included) read the post on a desktop/laptop, then fired up an iPad or iPhone and went straight to the App Store.

All content in the newtsstand app comes up in spotlight search. Pull down from the center of your screen to pull up spotlight search, type "dragon" and it'll pop right up. No need to know what page it's on, what app it's in, etc. Super easy, takes a couple seconds.

For those searching, I found it by searching for "wizards of the coast". Couldn't find it searching for "dragon" or "dragon+".

For those who didn't click the link, they said they're testing the final Android version in house as we speak...

Some clarification from the first article (Chris Perkins): Dragon+ is a free app that provides articles and interview on our current D&D storylines and its related products, as well as glimpses of future storylines. The first issue of Dragon+ features Elemental Evil - our latest storyline...

I would imagine you'll see it eventually. It's very likely the pages are PDF format (in the background), but using the Newsstand app for distribution. Once they find a suitable delivery mechanism for Android, it'll be trivial to cross publish.

Just downloaded. It's a Newstand app (digital magazine). The main screen has all their feeds (Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, etc.), and the top half of the page has the issues available (currently just one), with download links. The first issue contains: * A Word from the "DM to the Stars" *...

This isn't "5E's electronic/online solution", it's ONE product that has obtained a 5e license. That's a huge difference.

Thanks for your write-up. I'm most excited about the prospect of not having to build the published adventures manually, like I do in Roll20. It took me many hours to build-out Lost Mines. I would gladly have paid $19.99 to have it done for me. I'm hoping they get Princes of the Apocalypse done...

Ah, ok. I suppose that would be OK. Is it easy to remove the fog of war? I do like dynamic lighting, but I hate having to build it on every map by hand...

Ok, can someone who uses FG answer this for me? We currently use Roll20 for our IRL game, to display the maps (with dynamic lighting). One person connects via laptop and moves the tokens to open up new parts of the map. All combat is done on the "real" tabletop. So, with FG, if you go with the...

I watched it on my iPad using the Twitch app. Worked fine for me. Keep in mind he app has tabs, and I believe it defaults to live streams, so if you're looking for the archived content, you'll need to switch tabs. But G&S is definitely there...

Of course it is. The pessimism on this board is too deep to overcome. WotC literally can't win.

Some Twitter questions and responses from earlier today:

Some Twitter questions and responses from earlier today:

They're already archived on their Twitch channel. It's split into two videos (there was a brief dropout about 45 mins before the end...) Matt Mercer is one of the best DMs I've ever seen. So, so, good. The second (shorter) video has the combat, and it's epic. His descriptions of the battle are...

Boss: "Did you put in a vacation request for Hawaii?" Me: "Huh? I'm not going to Hawaii." Boss: "I saw the brochure on your desk." Me: "I was considering it, but decided against. Don't have the funds right now." Boss: "If you're going to cancel your vacation, you need to let HR know." Me: "I'm...
