[QUOTE="Agamon, post: 7667009, member: 184"] I'm a long time, if very irregular, user of FG. When War of the Burning Sky first came out for 3.5e, I bought some FG licenses to play it online. We didn't need to play online, we just wanted to try it out. That campaign only lasted a half dozen sessions before player availability changed to the point of having to cancel the game. I next used in 2011, when 3 of the players in my main group moved away. We used to play Pathfinder. While the software does some neat-o stuff, my biggest take away was that it got really cluttered, really fast. I even tried double-screening it with my TV, and it still was hard to find things with the battle tracker, monster stats, map, dice, etc. That game also didn't last long. I mostly blame the ruleset the players whined for me to use, but the frustration of using FG didn't help. Now I doubt all that can really be cleaned up at all, one needs all these things to run a game. But has it been made easier to locate things when you have 8 or so windows open during a fight? The point is likely moot as those players that moved away 5 years ago are now all back and we're about to resume playing tabletop after using Roll20 for a couple years. But I am interested, as I have an FG license, and maybe using this with tabletop might prove useful... [/QUOTE]
