We decided to kill our game night last night and migrate everything over to FG, and give it a go. Overall, it went pretty well. Here's some notes I made:The Good:The "drag and drop" stuff from the 5E campaign pack was definitely pretty cool. Makes making a character super easy. The map interface is outstanding.Once we got the thing going, it ran really smoothly. The program isn't too heavy on resources, so that + Skype ran just fine on all our computers. Everyone loves the virtual dice rollers.The Bad:It was fortunate that the drag-and-drop stuff was as good as it was, because I think the interface for customizing it beyond that was rather unpolished. Figuring out how to manually set up your attacks wasn't easy. Neither were things like getting your AC to work right when you have a shield, but the shield isn't currently equipped.The drag-and-drop 5e spells and classes definitely needed to be polished. Most any spell that required both a damage roll as well as a saving throw only had a damage roll built in. (Vicious Mockery & Dissonant Whispers, for example, as I was playing my bard.) Also there was nothing really in there for class sub-specialties, such as Cutting Words for my College of Lore bard. I know the group's fighter was complaining that there wasn't anything in the drag and drop for his Martial Archtype abilities either. Probably nit-picking, but there's definitely room for improvement there.As a Bard with Cutting Words, both the DM and I were complaining that there's no way for him to roll a visible dice without the party knowing the modifiers on it, and weather it succeeded or failed. We still have no idea how we're going to work Cutting Words in this without significantly increasing combat time.Summary: Good product! Definite room for improvement, and to be fair, we expect to see improvement for the price you guys are asking. But we've got the money to spend! If you guys clean it up, I'd see us buying the product outright. Especially once you guys start adding time-saving drop-in modules, like Horde of the Dragon Queen we're currently running. If you can get rid of the couple hours it takes the DM to prepare for each game session by setting up NPCs, bad guys and uploading maps like you always have to do with other tables, you've got yourselves a winner. ;-)</blockquote>
