I've had countless hours on this game Preparing my campaign, having fun with my friends, adding new content or new rules to my current pathfinder campaign I really love this, it's less stuffy to play my game when going to my friend or even staying at home :) I recommend it :)

Dec. 2024

I don't really do breakdowns of rating but I can tell you my experiences and how I feel. I purchased the standard + ultimate while it was on sale around Nov 2024. I previously owned the standard version over 10 years ago but without ultimate, I felt like I was wasting my time. Back then, the subscription model really put my off. I tried it for a few months, but my player's schedules just didn't line up with the time I had my sub for, so we hardly played and it felt like a lot of wasted time and money. It felt like a waste because I spent the money yeah, but also the time to craft my own adventure and prep for a game that ultimately felt like temporary, so it was hard to justify doing a good job on it in my mind. Fast forward to today and I see ultimate + standard on Steam for like $25 all together, no subscription, just get it and have it. My initial fears crept up again, would this be a waste of time? money? Maybe, but the other reviews mentioned no subscription and seemed rather happy. So I took the risk and got both. I didn't even have players lined up or a campaign in process. But it felt like a good price I couldn't pass up. You ever looked for the perfect journal or organizer? Looking at hundreds of journals to determine which one had the right structure, style, and feel for you to put your thoughts into? This is how it felt picking a VTT, but FG's options, aesthetic, and feel just felt good to me. After getting it, I played around with the modules, options, character creation and tho it felt like it was empty (because I had no content) it felt more permanent, a better foundation to build my ideas and world build without it being taken away should I stop paying a monthly sub. I don't have monthly reoccurring disposable income but I had $30 to spend and it was well worth it. 41 logged hours of just world building, module creating, pdf converting has led me to not just enjoy FG as a product but as a tool and game within itself. Creating NPCs with links to their items, spells, stories and figuring out how to make a polished and well connected campaign took over my time this week. I didn't play any other games. If I had free time I would just load up FG and work on the world I was building. Without the subscription it felt permanate, I know I don't really OWN the program but it feels like I do and that destroyed my previous feelings about the flimsy nature of using VTTs in general. Once FG was in my steam library I could load it up like any other game, "play" it to my hearts content without needing other people or feeling like my time in it was finite, and with ultimate license my players can enjoy what I am working on one day without any cost. I love this. I haven't hosted a single game or played with other people yet but that changes in a couple weeks when we my friends and I get together for our first session.

I've used FG VTT (Back when it was called FG Unity) for * a couple of one-shots * a charity stream (I'm not a streamer generally, FYI) * a campaing during pandemic that lasted about 8 months * my current campaign two sessions in Overall, I like it. It has its challenges and sometimes a certain feature requires a bit of research but I haven't had major issues and the devs have developed the product quite a lot. I haven't needed it much but from what I see, the community is also helpful. I've used it for D&D (I did play a "Warcraft" game using base rules) and a lot of rules are already integrated, so that's very cool. I don't know how it compares to other VTTs tbh, because I've only tried r20, which is another cool product but I got in FG simply because there is no sub fee. I bought it years ago and I own it to this day. A few humble suggestions to fellow DMs: * Check out Inkarnate, it's an amazing map tool * If you're coming from real TT, combats will be different - there is likely much less calculation thanks to FG's integrated rules, I found it best to ensure adding some descriptions so it's not a button-pressing sim * Check functionality and read about it! Things like being able to target other tokens wasn't visible to us first and those functions are super cool * Use language option in the chat, it works wonders (only people who know that language will understand) * Definitely do a session 0. I also recommend checking it yourself and creating a character yourself, even as a DM, so you understand how it works. So yes, I can't say it's the best VTT since I haven't tried others but I think at least its good enough (and has improved a ton since I acquired it) and the business model works well for me. We've had hundreds of fun hours so I definitely recommend it.

If you can't play TTRPGs in person, this is a great way to gather your pals for a game night. The tools are fairly easy to use and there's loads of tutorials on the Fantasy Grounds forums. There's no voice chat support, so having Discord or similar app available to everyone is a must.

I have said yes but in truth it is a tentative "Yes". I wanted a VTT (Virtual Table Top) mainly for my own use while DM'ing games, mainly DnD 5E (Dungeons and Dragons, 5th edition). It is a problem with all these systems that it is hard to understand what you need and how flexible the system might be. I like the fact it is local on your hard disk rather than a web page. I like that there is an option to allow the DM to own the modules shared with the players when they join his game (that would require an upgrade to the ultimate edition to allow players of the Free version to play). I tried the free demo but that did not help me decide so in the end I bought the base FGU package through Steam. Through that you get access to DnD 5E SRD (a free basic set of rules). The character generator feels broken. It is easy to think that they are pushing you to buy the paid for modules as that is how they make their money. Eventually I worked out that what I should have done was look at some YouTube videos and indeed it does look as though if you buy the DnD 5E Players Handbook you get a character generator that is useable. Indeed there are many neat features but then there are a lot of things that you have to generate workarounds for (without having to resort to coding). If I could have bought it at the 50% offer they (Well Wizards of the Sword Coast-who own DnD 5E) were running I would probably have bought it but I thought the basic DnD 5E SRD would be a good starting point. So my advice to anyone who is interested in FGU is to look at some videos of people using it with the system you want to use to give you the best chance of working out if it is any good. The other option is to try a month's subscription direct from Fantasy Grounds ($3.99 at the time of the review). Good luck
