    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    Yeah, the combat tracker is one of the nicest features. I specifically like to edit my campaign options to roll HP for all the NPCs because I feel like it makes it more interesting when you have some a group of goblins where some are weak and some are strong, versus them all having the same...

    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    I'm a player in a game at the moment, but this is the last game I ran. It was for 2d20 Fallout from Modiphius.

    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    I normally hook it up to a 2nd display (TV) that I use to send pictures of handouts, NPCs, etc. In a few cases, I used it to display the map with the grid set to 1" and put the minis on there, or used digital minis. The main thing I use it for is campaign prep and to run the combats, track...

    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    I prefer IRL play also. I don't think I could run a game efficiently without FG anymore though. I find it to be very helpful for running my game at the table -- even with using minis and terrain.

    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    This is something I long to do. I make a pitch for this to Wizards of the Coast at least once or twice a year. They are probably sick of hearing it from me. We include a ruleset for 3.5E and 4E with the app. It just doesn't have any real data. To be fair, community members could create and share...

    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    We have tried a few times in the past to get official Shadowrun support. Hopefully we can get it one day.

    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    This is not a common issue, so why would we write that some users have a problem installing it? You never reached out to support, the forums, or Discord to tell us what your issue was. You just posted a negative review with inaccurate info. All of those links you posted were not even the same...

    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    @môrgondír While I know you are just trying to cherry pick reports from over a several year period, I think this actually speaks highly of our ability to support our users. A handful of cases out of almost 100K new users since 2024 is pretty good. One was 5 years ago. Yes, you can install to an...

    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    Monetization will need to come from selling our dice packs, map packs, and our share of revenue from selling licensed content. Our cut is normally 30-40% range. By removing the license costs and offering our digital reader, we believe it will bring more customers to our platform and be good for...

    Sale 75% off 1-time license for Fantasy Grounds VTT

    Voadam is correct. You typically need to use an extension that loosens the built-in restrictions of what is shown as available within any given ruleset. There is a free extension on the FG Forge called Universal Module that you will subscribe to and then enable when you load your campaign. I...

    Sale 75% off 1-time license for Fantasy Grounds VTT

    The lowest price ever for the license that was $150 not too long ago. Now it is $12.50 during the sale (down from the new $50 price point). No subscriptions and no locked out functionality. Even if you are not looking for a virtual tabletop for online play, Fantasy Grounds serves as an...

    Maps Feature on D&D Beyond Becomes Free to Use

    Yeah, you could just set something like VISION: 60 for the darkvision people and VISION: 10 for PCs without darkvision. That would still remind them they would be better served with a lamp or torch. If they use a lamp, just update the non-darkvision folks to VISION: 30, or whatever. That is...

    Maps Feature on D&D Beyond Becomes Free to Use

    It's optional, but yes to see the beautiful color with lighting and vision enabled they will have to bring a torch or lantern.

    Maps Feature on D&D Beyond Becomes Free to Use

    For sure. We implemented it so the maps show up in grayscale within your darkvision range and you only see color if there is natural light from lamps, spells, or ambient sunlight.

    Maps Feature on D&D Beyond Becomes Free to Use

    When the map starts showing characters with darkvision more than characters without, then you start seeing people create more non-human races. It's pretty eye-opening how important that little feature is when you start delving into dark dungeons. Torches and lamps are fine, but darkvision is...

    Wizards of the Coast Is Sunsetting Sigil's Active Development

    I played in an in-person 3.5E version game of the D&D Classic Steading of the Hill Giants. The DM built an elaborate full-scale model of the entire steading with hand-carved wall posts. He actually has a video up below. The funny thing is that we entered the steading back by the kitchen and...

    Wizards of the Coast Is Sunsetting Sigil's Active Development

    Paizo set up a program that sort of does that. If you own the PDF at Paizo.com, you can sync your account and get a fairly significant discount on the FG version of that same product. It is normally around the price of the PDF, so $15 or $20 off for core books. For adventures, that means you can...
