i was looking at these figures and the Roll20 figures and its difficult to compare them as Roll20 is a quarterly return and FG is a monthly one but I expected Roll20's numbers to be bigger in comparison, I suspect you can't just add the last three three months together peoples campigns will be...
you can export your character you built in fantasy grounds to pdf using this web tool http://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?22440-5E-Character-sheet-from-XML
another useful tool if you don't want to spend $3 dollars on the basic rules for Fantasy grounds or you want to get the...
making a new monster module is pretty easy, just create a new npc and then export it from the chat window witha /export command and then clicking the right boxes to make sure it get saves as a 5e mod. Doing new classes and races and spelis is not so easy but doable if you have a lot of time on...
The community around FG is a lot smaller than Roll20 but thanks to the 5e licence and getting on steam it's getting bigger and it's also one of the most friendly and helpful online communities I have had the pleasure to participate in. There are great people playing roll20 but there are a small...
Every one gets free updates in FG even if you bought five years ago and there is a free extension for adding your own scanned cards, The $11 is for use of Savage world's, there is nothing to stop you scanning your own physical Savage worlds deck into FG, it wouldn't be hard coded into the...
I have used both and they both have good and bad points
Roll20 is easy to get into , free unless you want to pay ten dollars a month or more to get dynamic lighting and access to the API, its better documentated than FG and you don't have to worry about port forwarding and other networking...
Pota does include players guide which you can show to the players
I just bought the module and I'm impressed, particularly as i spent hours building my own Hoard of the Dragon Queen module. The maps are great, much better than the maps in the actual book when viewed on a big screen. saying that...
depends where you buy it. If you go to fantasy grounds online store no you don't but confusingly if you are purchasing via Steam you do though you end up paying the same either way
the compatibility restrictions aren’t good, won't play board with My Samsung Note which is huge but still a phone or my nexus 7 (2012) which isn’t or my Galaxy Tab which is a 7inch tab as well, I was looking forward to a networked character sheet

Fantasy grounds is the software used during this online gaming con and there will be extensive help for new players and the software is free to use for the duration of the convention
I'm a committed user of fantasy grounds myself, as a previous poster said there is a learning curve but its worth it, every thing auto calculates and i have the entire Players hand book and monster manual preloaded in game, if i want to do a random encounter I just put a monster from the game...
this blog interview of Joseph Bloch aka "Greyhawk Grognard" suggests that something is up Q: Tell me about these plans for 5e publishing! How far along are you at actually being able to get it to happen? What exactly does 'hinting' mean? I assume nothing is signed, so are you in serious...
