    PRINCES OF THE APOCALYPSE For Fantasy Grounds VTT

    Yes. I use it for that regularly for a wide variety of games. I use it to track initiative as well, what effects are there, HP remaining for PCs and NPCs, etc, as well as story and encounter notes. I recommend still adding the basic stats you want to track for PCs as well so you can have that...

    PRINCES OF THE APOCALYPSE For Fantasy Grounds VTT

    EEPC isn't on Steam yet. It is included with POTA as a separate, shareable module but is not available on Steam as a stand-alone yet. ETA ~ 1 week for that due to the oversight.

    PRINCES OF THE APOCALYPSE For Fantasy Grounds VTT

    The nice thing about the adventures is that they include all the monsters. If your plan is to just run the adventures, you can skip the Monster Pack and then just add in any homebrew or 1-off monsters you want as you go. The class packs are also optional, although I'd say the D&D Basic Rules...

    PRINCES OF THE APOCALYPSE For Fantasy Grounds VTT

    We got it done just in time to start on the next one. Sitting side by side with Rise of Tiamat or the other adventures, it doesn't seem that much bigger. There is a bunch of content crammed between the two covers though. It looks great, though, so we hope you like it.

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    That's good to hear. Each of the developers (2 owners + 1 official dev) all started out as community members and had a similar experience. We became die-hard fans ourselves before becoming owners of the company in 2009.

    RISE OF TIAMAT Now Available For Fantasy Grounds

    Yes, that is correct. On Steam - Buy standard license then Ultimate Upgrade DLC On Fantasy Grounds Site - Buy Ultimate license directly -- or you can buy Standard plus Ultimate Upgrade

    D&D 5E (2014) All Fantasy Grounds Title and Software now 10-30% off

    Because it doesn't require an Internet connection to use the basic license, many people use it as a campaign manager, rules and NPC lookup and combat initiative tracker at the table for their in-person games.

    D&D 5E (2014) All Fantasy Grounds Title and Software now 10-30% off

    The Ultimate license is listed as an Upgrade DLC only on Steam. That means you need to pick up the standard license and then the Upgrade from there. That kept us from having to have two store pages and then trying to keep all the DLC in sync for both versions.

    A New DRAGON+?

    The picture on this post reminds me of a painted mirror I won at a state fair throwing darts at balloons. If I remember correctly, it was a Guns 'n Roses mirror. The skull and the roses just remind me of it. Ahhh... 1980-something nostalgia. The easiest way to find the new edition is to launch...

    One Year Later: D&D 5E PHB & MM Still On NYT Bestseller Lists

    There is a reason Microsoft bought Minecraft for $2.5 Billion. I confess that I simply don't get it... but obviously a large number of other people do. Of all the crazes and fads, we could do much worse than Minecraft, though, so I applaud them for making something that spurs creativity.

    RISE OF TIAMAT Now Available For Fantasy Grounds

    The adventure has everything you need to play included. You don't need the MM for it. The PHB is optional, although I would highly recommend the $2.99 D&D Basic Rules pack since it pre-enters a bunch of the character building stuff and includes the basic 4 races and classes, along with the...

    RISE OF TIAMAT Now Available For Fantasy Grounds

    You keep comparing Roll20 to FG for a player experience and state that you could do everything you need by entering in text and macros yourself for free instead of spending $50 for the full PHB content. Guess what, you can do that without buying the Class Pack content in FG as well. In most...

    RISE OF TIAMAT Now Available For Fantasy Grounds

    To fully implement all the rules in the PHB and then in the DMG would be a massive and error-prone undertaking. To even attempt a subset of those sort of rules, AAA game companies normally employ a small army of developers and content folks and even then they typically prune the list of features...

    RISE OF TIAMAT Now Available For Fantasy Grounds

    We did not add additional maps this time where there were not maps already included. We may add some more at a future date, but that was a bonus feature for HOTDQ. Those maps are pretty generic though, so you can always re-use them from one campaign to the next. Where ROT has a map, it is...

    RISE OF TIAMAT Now Available For Fantasy Grounds

    Any battle where your player's characters spill their beer should only award half experience. Maybe we can add in a prompt after each battle that asks, "Did anyone spill their beer?"

    RISE OF TIAMAT Now Available For Fantasy Grounds

    You might consider looking at the $9.99/mo sub for a DM and their entire group and the $2.99 D&D Basic Rules pack for along with this or the other $20 adventures. You'd be looking at a pretty low cost with some of the data pre-loaded for the classes and races and just have to manually enter the...

    HOARD OF THE DRAGON QUEEN on FANTASY GROUNDS

    To use the licensed D&D content, you'll need either a standard license ($39) or a standard monthly sub ($3.99) and then whatever content player content you want. The Complete Core Class Pack ($49.99) has all the content from the PHB and the portraits -- basically all the classes pack stuff and...
