I'm no longer sure, but it was either original Traveller or Gamma World 2e. A DM at our college D&D club decided to mix those 2 into an existing AD&D 1e campaign. I know I played them both in 1984, but which got played 1st is more than my grey cells can muster. I just remember it being one...

The most important thing is that your campaign folder is there in the Fantasy Grounds data folder. FG campaign data is never stored remotely - always in the local data folder. I do FG server hosting at IRL tables, mostly to host players that can't make the session and need to connect remotely...

Yep, of the 12 rulesets I own only 2 of them are available in My Library for the Online Reader. I'm not disappointed though, as I'm viewing the reader on my Android tablet and if I turn it horizontally the content looks good and is easy to read. My habit is to always buy the PDF of any ruleset...

OK, fair enough. As BadEye stated though, the interface has seen some improvements in the recent years. So check it out. Part of what I meant by generational, is the functional use of the interface. For example, almost all of my older players quickly grasped the drag & drop nature of the tool...

It certainly worked for me - a few I chose were immediately added to My Library and all were added as modules when I did an update with the launcher. I was impressed with the 15 I was offered; 7 of them I have a near to immediate use for and they're all quality products. Well done Smiteworks. (y)

Hearing this always makes me curious and I have to ask, what aspect of the inteface? I've certainly had players that didn't care for it overall, but that dislike at times seemed generational. I had one player say they thought it "didn't look like an up to date app." A number of my Millennial...

Well to be fair to Smiteworks, there'd be no reason for them to address anything with Steam in regards to the updater, as it works independently of the Steam client. It's run by the Fantasy Ground launcher and you don't even need the Steam client runnning when you host with FG. It's best to shut...

I just checked out the previews for your adventures The Warren and The Pit of Panzar. Those are nicely layed out and look to be good adventures. I can see what you mean by the boxed text - looks like you're using it for 2 purpose; as a means to highlight dialog/spoken text; as a way to provide...

I haven't bought a lot of prewritten adventure modules, but I bought Necrotic Gnomes's Incadescent Grottoes and Hole in the Oak, after having the pleasure of playing through them. I'd ditto the praise already given to them as a publisher that designs a good adventure, lays it out well and...

You and MNblockhead are giving good advice and I appreciate it. I've decided to hold off on WHFRP. Instead I'm going to go with the WH40k W&G boxset, as the group I'm lining up are more familiar with that WH verse. If they like playing it, I've explained the high cost of buying a CRB direct and...

Yep, based on what was stated in the bullet points in the OP, if you already own the Advanced edition of the Player's tomes you already have most of what will be in the new Player's tome. Changes to 4 classes, a new B/X appendix and some rules fixes will be the difference. The new optional rules...

AD&D 1e It was my 1st TTRPG experience in the early 1980s and I played it frequently for about 5 years. For a good part of that time, I played it at tables hosted by my College's wargamers club and those sessions were enjoyable. We used the 1977 PHB and being my 1st TTRPG I accepted the rules as...

Yes well, talk about a product missing from retail. I don't doubt it's a quality product, because it quickly disappeared from store shelves here. I know of only 1 store in my county that has the WHFRP starter set and they charge about double for it. Not to mention there 500 miles away as the...

. I wonder if they realize that's much less a bonus than it is by modern D&D conventions/standards. There's no Monster Types for monsters in the Advanced Referees Tome, nor is there in Monster Manual 1e, or the B/X Advanced Bestiary. So taking a favored enemy was literally taking a single named...

Fun adventure and setting. I have fond memories of it. :love:
