    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Complete Dungeon Master's Guide is now available for Fantasy Grounds

    This conversion took us quite a while longer than expected to complete, but we think people will really like the end result. While it contains the entire reference material from the book, it also contains all the random tables, magic items and magic item templates from the book pre-loaded into...

    Technobabble In RPGs

    I've had to harmonize the microscopic polaron accelerator before. That's no fun at all.

    Would You Like To Give Ken Whitman's d20 Entertainment $5 In Return For Nothing?

    It sounds like he should have used variants of that graphic for his Kickstarter projects.

    D&D 5E (2014) Roll20 or Fantasy Grounds?

    Since cost is often a factor listed in the choice, I thought that I would share this info here. Almost everything in the FG store is currently on sale for the holidays. While the sale lasts (Nov 25 thru Dec 1st), you can get the modules for the PHB (Complete Core Class Pack) and the MM...

    Where Has the Magic Gone?

    I'm a sucker for cross-overs. It may not make sense from a business standpoint, but I would love to see a Magic RPG with setting books released for each of the planes. I think my players would love to see a campaign that ends in an epic battle with a single, but powerful Eldrazi or which places...

    Fantasy Grounds Now Offers Free Trial; Plus D&D 5E Basic Rules Now Included In All Licenses

    There are shortcuts and alternate ways of doing each of those things still. It just adds more steps. For instance to pick up a die and roll it you just click and drag and then throw and release the left-mouse into the chat window. To do multiple dice, you right-click while you have the die in...

    If having this single feature is a make or break feature for you, then FG won't be the right choice for you at this time. I think you are missing out on the numerous other features that FG provides that other tools do not provide. It does seem to be a popular requested feature and that means...

    Using a trackpad or touchpad with the current interface is less than ideal. There are a lot of shortcuts that utilize clicks, left and right clicks together or third mouse button click (mousewheel click down). Many of these features were developed and designed long before touchpads became...

    Here's That Hi-Res Sword Coast Map

    If that resource wasn't also available for sale directly from the artist, I think it would be different. Not only are the people who support the charity giving a donation, Mike Schley is also giving a donation by making it free for this specific cause. I don't think it has anything to do with...

    Here's That Hi-Res Sword Coast Map

    Really, then I guess this statement on the ExtraLife page doesn't mean anything to you. ... and then it is listed as one of the rewards. I don't know who did or didn't donate. My comment wasn't directed at anyone in particular, but just as a general statement that if you want the reward, you...

    Here's That Hi-Res Sword Coast Map

    If you are just downloading it as a freebie without actually contributing to the charity, then I would suggest that you are doing it wrong.

    These areas are scheduled to be improved upon -- specifically drawing. By default, each player (and the GM) will always draw in the dice color they have selected. This makes it easy to tell who "owns" what effect. Toggling visibility of a token doesn't delete any of the pointers or area of...

    Got it. No, there is no ping animation currently. It works a bit different. It looks like you want the ping to draw their attention and to move the map to focus on that area. In FG, many DM's draw attention with pointers or by flashing the visibility of a token. To sync all the player's views...

    No offense taken. Unusual Dice. You can make custom dice strings now, such as 1d73. Type /die 1d73 and you can save it to a hotkey slot if you want by dragging it to the hotkey bar. This may have been added after you tried it. Tooltips. This somewhat depends on the ruleset but many of them...

    Our focus is mostly on making life easier for the DM, but I'm curious what sort of features you felt were missing and which game system you played. Moving from one interface to another may take a few sessions or so, but I often hear a lot of "wow" moments when I introduce new players to it from...

    Yes, there definitely is. With the recent acquisition of Tabletop Connect, we plan to implement both 2D and 3D map creation within FG instead of simply being a consumer of maps from outside sources and programs. While this older video focuses on some of the cool new 3D mapping we will work to...
