    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    Here is a quickly made video showcasing the character sheet and building a character using one of the available data packs. Note that you can enter these things yourself, but it does save more time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nurEMR4JJeU

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    For the maps, we typically include a DM version of the map and a player version that hides the hidden stuff and is scaled for token placements. Some of the maps were actually for 10' per square instead of the more standard 5' squares for tactical maps. We generally try to find a good balance...

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    The DM can choose to share anything they've purchased. If the DM shares the Complete Core Class or the D&D Basic Players, than any players connected to the game can access that material to build their characters while they are connected. If the players want to build their characters offline from...

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    I just updated the product descriptions so that it is clear that the PC Customization Pack and the Complete Core Class have all the Races included. We also just pushed an update to the D&D Basic Rules to fix an issue with the custom theme and 4 basic races not showing up. Run an update if you...

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    Complete Core Class Pack and the PC Customization Pack both have all the races. The D&D Basic Rules have the four races listed -- although I think we just saw an issue that is preventing them from showing up at the moment. I'll be posting a fix for that this morning. I will go in and update the...

    Disintegrate rolls against the Dex with the DC determined by the caster and reports back success or failure. If the target fails the save, then you click on the damage icon or drag the damage dice to the target and it rolls the 10d6+40 damage. It doesn't do anything else special if the target...

    Yes, you can create your own spell effects. You'll want to use similar syntax to the spells in the D&D basic rules or the Class Packs and then you'll see how it picks up on certain wordings and effects.

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    One of our customers reported that the D&D Basic Rules wasn't downloading and installing the new theme for D&D. We found and fixed the problem. If you happened to buy the D&D Basic Rules pack, please run another update and you should be all set. I think there are a few other little issues...

    We don't have this problem with our implementation. One of our 3 core developers is exclusively a Mac guy. He helped us assemble the Steam version and it works flawlessly with players and DM's inside or outside of Steam on either Mac or PC. I don't use Linux outside of server products, but my...

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    The Lost Mines comes with all the monster stats from the MM and pre-gen characters. You can still build your own characters and monsters. I would highly recommend picking up at least the D&D Basic Rules & Theme pack ($2.99) or the PC Customization Pack ($9.99), though, because in addition to a...

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    We would love to do a bunch of stuff like that, including 3.5E, 4E and even earlier stuff. For now, our initial focus is solely on current version of Dungeons & Dragons.

    I will comment on this part, even though it is part of our licensing agreement. Should the license end at some point, we will no longer be able to sell new content or existing content. We will be allowed to maintain copies of all products produced and sold at that time for maintenance purposes...

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    It does run on Mac and Linux under WINE. The easiest solution for most Mac users is to purchase the license for FG from Steam for Mac and then purchase all the DLC directly from our store. It's like a one click install at that point. When you launch it from Steam on your Mac, you'll go to your...

    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).

    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...

    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...

    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...
