[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6656596, member: 37579"] I don't know what that acronym means... There are adds on the site (for Roll20) not on the program. Just finished my first roll20 game and no adds. I was playing with video and chat, while running my character off the equally free iPad app (because the DM subscribed). I don't see subscriptions for Fantasy Grounds on Steam though, and didn't see it in my glances at the website. I'd have to explore the website for details. $43.99 on Steam.
