I've got good web speed, so lighting, audio, fx galore (where needed) and it holds up solidly, Foundry is very tweakable, my maps look on screen how they do in my head. Easy access for my international party, reliable solid - there have been some browser issues and these haven't been unifrom, some player swear by Chrome, others by Firefox, they each claim that X browser does or doesn't work for them, but we're at the stage where they all claim to have good consistent access.
Roll20 was distressing, maybe it was a bad night, but it lagged a lot and crashed a few times over a 4 hours session, plus it just looks ugly. I've used Foundry as a DM and Player and Roll20 as a Player. It would be best, if there is somekind demo on those products that one can try set the campaign. Im trying to get different viewpoint of products, so i could pick the right product on me and our group so we dont have to change different product.Īfterall virtual tabletops has quite a lot, so comparison is challenging. I have found others, like Fantasy ground (this is quite expensive), then there is Fantasy ground unity it is less expensive, what is the difference between these two FG products?Īstral looks really appealing, quite interesting, but is there some cons on this? How easy is joining, need all players buy Astral? Talespire has also being on my radar, one players mentioned that, and it really looks cool, but it looks also that getting one map done and campaing going could need quite effort, but visually stunning Talespire really looks. This sound like this product really isnt my cup of a tea. I also enjoy if buiyng the product im ready to set the campaing, so there is no need many different modules and "microtransactions".įoundry VTT has caught my attention, though i have understand there is need on port forwarding, or you can benefit if you can use java. So the top things are: map that you can custom, figures move there and that it is simple to use.

My need is software where players can join easy (i prefer software that players dont need buy software) also i would enjoy if the use is simple and intuitive. Problem is that i have zero knowing different virtual tabletop softwares. I have starting to be DM on online roleplaying, where we need map and figures etc. There are all kinds of rules and tricks that aren't intuitive or documented well and nobody left comments in their code ) The problem is learning FGU is akin to learning a programming language. The more you know the more it's clear that all other VTT's stand in it's shadow in terms of raw power. If they do, that person is either being held back or failing).įantasy Grounds Unity is hard to learn, but every single lesson I learn as as DM unlocks better games for myself and my players. It's not user friendly, clearly designed by people who are engineers and make things work (They can't possibly have a designer who's focused on user experience.

The Pro of FGU is also the Con - there's a sunken cost in a learning curve. I have been doing this since last September (2020) and it's always been that fee/structure.Įvery time someone makes me look at Foundry I see nice things but not the power of Fantasy Grounds.
It's $149 and if the DM pays for that Ultimate license the players just use the free Demo client.

Host the Ultimate game and players join and play for free The only person who can DM is the person who has the Ultimate license and account. Let's go to the source and keep it simple: ĮDIT: I'm wrong about you being wrong. I could be wrong but FGU Ultimate license only allows the license owner to be a DM? Whereas Foundry allows any player to be set as the DM for a campaign.

False, the DM buys an ultimate license and the players only need a free demo license.įGU Ultimate license is $149 Foundry VTT is $50.īut my point about everybody needing a copy of FGU still applies whereas Foundry is browser-based - so Foundry can be used on business laptops or any other computers which prevent manual installation of software.
