[QUOTE="xaotik1, post: 5280356, member: 39911"] I'll have to agree with Sigurd here, the gas savings alone make it worth the money I've spent on FG. Sure there are plenty of free VTTs out there, and I've used Map Tools, Screen Monkey, Kloodge, and any number of others, and the only one that even compares is Battlegrounds. Spending a few bucks for years worth of convenient play is hardly a chore, and frankly, if you play almost any RPG out there now, 40 bucks is probably less that what you paid to get the players guide and gamemasters guide. Seeing as the cut down version of the d20srd, 4e, and about 20 other rulesets come free with FG, or at the least are freely available, you can hardly fault them for the asking cost. Even beyond the cost though, is the constant upgrading and easily modified rulesets and modules that come with FG itself. With a minimum of effort, you can alter any number of rulesets to fit whatever game you want to play, regardless of system. The graphics are solid, the chat has quite a few nice options in it, and it's overall a very simple system to learn, making it pretty player friendly. My only real beef with it is that it should come with voice chat as an option :) Though, seeing as the competition hasn't really integrated voice in, I can't really complain there either. I will say that I like the Battlegrounds maps better. They have a number of functions and options that I like to use when playing games like Battletech and Robotech, but even at that, I still prefer FG for just about every game I play/run. [/QUOTE]
