Virtual Gaming Convention May 31st to June 2nd 2013
Just Released - new character token packs FREE for all GM's!
Description
Release date: Already now. Available on Steam within weeks of being Greenlit.
Fantasy Grounds is a virtual RPG tabletop for playing role-playing games online (such as Dungeons and Dragons). It is designed to move all the conventional things you do at the gaming table into an online environment, such as 3D dice, character sheets, maps, miniatures, chatting, combat tracker, and more. In addition, the user interface is designed to capture the spirit of the pen and paper role-playing experience. Over 25 different role-playing game systems are supported by Fantasy Grounds at this time, with more being added by the community and developers over time.

For the GM (game master), Fantasy Grounds allows the GM to create and keep track of all their campaign information within the application. The GM gets to choose when to share (or unshare) the information with their players. Visual campaign materials (maps, miniatures, handouts) can be provided by the GM directly from common graphics file formats (such as JPG and PNG); or map and token packs can be purchased at the Fantasy Grounds store. Fantasy Grounds also provides game system automation for many common game mechanics to help speed up play. One of the core tenets of our approach is to provide as much automation as the GM wants in their campaign, but never require automation to be used. Finally, many game system definitions in Fantasy Grounds allow GMs to specify options to customize the campaign experience.

For developers, Fantasy Grounds can be customized from the ground up to create a unique tabletop environment. Developers can create custom themes, house rule packs or define a new tabletop for a new role-playing game system. All materials to develop for Fantasy Grounds are available online on our website.

A free demo is available on the web site to try out the product with some example campaigns.

Note that many of the images and content displayed in the screenshots and videos are DLC add-ons that can be purchased to work with the software. You can import and create your own content or purchase additional DLC which is fully licensed from third-party publishers in the roleplaying industry. Out of the box, Fantasy Grounds comes with support for D&D 3.5, D&D 4E and Pathfinder. Both the 3.5E and Pathfinder rulesets come with freely available content provided by Wizards of the Coast and Paizo as part of the Open Gaming License.

Operating Systems supported: Windows primarily, with support for Mac and Linux via Wine. We are completing a wrapper for Wine that will make it indistinguishable from a native Mac app. We have been stable on Mac and Linux for the lasts several years and have purposefully limited all new code to features that are well supported in Wine.

Been using FG2 pretty successfully for years. I love it, I just wish there was more support for it. I hope this means that it will start to get regular updates.

Bringing Fantasy Grounds to Steam will hopefully help to finally convince people to use this fantastic piece of software. I have owned FG2 for 6 years, and find it to be the best way to digitally play tabletop RPGs.

If this comes to steam I've been looking for a reason to pick it up, I've used the unregistered version of a few times, The Rulesets are done in xml and such so it's pretty easy to mod. Hope this makes it:)

UK Mikeyboy, you don't need to wait. It is available now directly from fantasygrounds.com. Assuming that we get Greenlit by Steam, we plan to give all our active users a Steam Key if that option is open to us by Valve.
