Those were my exact first impressions as well - I don't have a problem paying money for it, or even paying money to upgrade my DMing rig to accomodate it, but at that price point, the bulky clunky interface is far and away my biggest issue with FG, especially coming from Roll20's sleek and lightweight design. I mean, it's saying something when I'm someone who has literally dropped around $400 on this software and still wind up preferring to use Roll20, even though I have to manually input data.I will admit a little buyer's remorse, but part of the reason I'm holding out is the hope that, as this gains popularity and as they get feedback, they will start figuring out a way to clean up the interface a bit. The fact that you pretty much have people recommending a large double-screen setup in order to effectively DM with it is telling of some major UX issues when Roll20 is able to accomplish very similar functionality on a tiny laptop screen or a tablet.I'm not going to hate on FG - they're WotC's licensed VTT partner and so I want to support them. They obviously are working very hard to crank out content for the modules and the technical backbone of the product is very impressive and robust. As a Roll20 API power user I can definitely see the potential, but they have got to clean up the interface and get the mapping tools stepped up to Roll20. They have their work cut out for them, but I am confident they'll get there in time.</blockquote>
