Good product. Need to spend a bit on DLC to get some value out of App. Can use just as a Virtual map if you want. ELSE the automation for Combat is normally how App is used. I have tried 2 other similar Apps and find this ,once you get used to UI ,is much more pleasant and satisfying to use.
Clunky, expensive and can't find my DLCs. Try another platform.
Best VTT out there. Steep learning curve and a "legacy" or "fossilized" looking UI; however, it is built that way on purpose. FG allows for complete control and automation with the ability to utilize official, community, or custom extensions. While the VTT can host a plethora of games, I personally play 2014 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons. From interactive maps, automation of active/passive effects, integrated or customizable line of sight, and much more - I cannot recommend it enough. I play full online AND in person with this, and I cannot recommend it enough.
a great vtt..the combat tracker is a major help[.. plus FG discord is still active
Its the best way to play
