Hey Morrus, Should we still send stuff directly to you as well, and if so, should we allow a set amount of time to see if it catches your interest before we post to the side or just post in both places and let you promote it to front-page content if you are interested? I know we all want to be...

Fantasy Grounds is better suited for live play than it would be for an almost play-by-post style play. It's technically possible, but you'd have to just leave your server up and running every time you wanted the game to be available. Another option may suit you best for that specific usage.

I loved the Curse of the Azure Bonds game the most and the others in that series were pretty well done too. I don't have any stats to back this up, but I always thought the move to the more first-person view was what ultimately killed the franchise for SSI. Did anyone else share this view or was...

This D&D adventure was originally written as a D&D Next play-test adventure. It has been updated to include the final version of the fifth edition stats and rules where possible and it runs on the 5E ruleset for Fantasy Grounds. It is available on Steam and from the Fantasy Grounds website...

The launch of D&D fifth edition has delayed our efforts on moving to Unity, but work is still underway. John has been working on all the boring back-end stuff for the last few months, so we don't have much more to show at this point. We don't plan to announce an ETA until we get to a polishing...

There are two of us who work full-time on it and we have another developer that we've made an official part of the team. Apart from that, we employ around 30 commissioned community developers as well. Those folks do anything from simple adventure conversions to full blown ruleset development for...

Make sure you haven't marked your adventures and DM material as force loaded to the players. In fact, you can normally mark those as blocked. The players will still see whatever they need to see as you play the adventure or have them fight monsters.

Gun Metal Games​ and Smiteworks have teamed up to bring you Interface Zero 2.0 for online or local digital play on the Fantasy Grounds virtual tabletop and the Savage Worlds ruleset. Experience Cyber Punk gameplay in a format that really helps increase immersion and keep things running Fast and...

Are you ready to fight for your survival aboard a zombie infested cruise-ship? War of the Dead - Chapter 1 is the first set of 13 adventures in an all-new zombie apocalypse setting for Savage Worlds that you can now play online using the Fantasy Grounds virtual tabletop and the excellent Savage...

I just picked up the pre-order 5-pack of this for $149. It seems like quite the deal with the DM Digital Deluxe Edition and 4 extra copies of the basic game for your friends. It will be interesting to see what the DLC strategy looks like. The pre-order supposedly gives you the extra Rage of...

... and that explains why we couldn't seem to get away from our booth except for super short bathroom breaks during the whole show. I think I need more volunteers for next year, because I felt like I didn't get to actually see most of the cool stuff this year. Don't get me wrong, is was great...

We will be at Gen Con this year again. Early adopters are probably the folks from 2004 though, right? I didn't get it until 2008.

We are probably still a good way out from the iPad and Android tablet versions. The interface works well for desktop use, but has not been optimized for a purely touch interface or small screens, in general. Just like DM Screens, it's hard to fit all that content onto a single screen. I normally...

Fantasy Grounds has never tried to be a map building software, but instead a consumer. There are a bunch of free and paid tools that allow people to make fantastic maps and it seemed foolish for us to spend development cycles reinventing the wheel. You merely have to drag the map into your Maps...

The launch of the official license is the primary factor for the sudden surge in April. Prior to this, we had no official support, although people could still play 5E games if they didn't mind entering the data on their own. Pathfinder has had strong support on Fantasy Grounds due to the...

DSA is Das Schwarze Auge (Translation: The Dark Eye). It's really popular in Germany, which has a sizable RPG gamer population as well. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_Schwarze_Auge I don't know how these games compare outside of Fantasy Grounds. This data just shows what is the most popular...

You can pretty much houserule however it fits your system. Depending on the houserule, this may mean that you don't use the automation that is there for the feature already, or it might be something you can just toggle and continue to use automation.

One thing to consider is that the subscriptions for Fantasy Grounds don't require any commitment on the length of the sub. You can choose to try it out for 1 month as regular sub ($3.99) and then pick up the D&D Basic Rules Pack ($3.99) and then decide from there if you want to go up to an...

All of the content from the printed book is included, but the organization is different and meant more for playing through it online. I personally prefer to read through a printed book in advance of running my game through FG, but your mileage may vary. It also probably doesn't help that I'm a...

The 5E ruleset is included without the core books with any of the licenses of Fantasy Grounds, 1-time cost licenses or the $3.99/mo or $9.99/mo Ultimate licenses. Your players would need to enter their character info, like weapons and spells, but they could play any adventures you picked up.
