Do any of you use the FG program for online gaming?
Sure do, have been since last summer
Its a good program, though I keep running into stability issues.
Does it work well with 3.5 Fantasy RPG?
It has the SRD built in. With all the core classes, spells, and many of the monsters found in the core books.
How easy/ difficult is it to use as a player/ DM?
The interface is fairly intuitive, and if you are familiar with chat programs then it should be quite easy to get used to.
For DMs its a bit more complex, as the DM must host the games. This requires the DMs computer to be set up properly (a tricky propsition that may involve changing your computers internet settings.
What do you like best about it and why?
It allows me to game with a group that now lives far appart.
What don't you like about it and why?
There seems to be some stability issues with the program, sometimes the program will drop everyone every few minutes, though it is usualy well behaved.
Modifying the rule system used is also something of a pain (i've yet to find an easy way to edit the spell lists).
