It's interesting that Wizards is partnering with a tool which, for all intents and purposes, allows users to scrape content off the internet for free and easily insert it into their games. Greg Tito, Wizard's communications manager, confirmed for Polygon that other campaigns, including Rise of Tiamat and the recently released Princes of the Apocalypse, are on the way for Fantasy Grounds. So depending on how much needs to be changed during that process, I think you’re looking at a matter of maybe weeks before that’s available." We’ve already conducted our internal reviews, and now it’s out in the hands of a few folks at Wizards of the Coast. "We just finished up the preliminary work on the Hoard of the Dragon Queen adventure module, and so that’s currently in review right now. "We have a queue that we’re working through right now," Davison told Polygon. We talked to the president and owner of Fantasy Grounds, Doug Davison, who said that more products are already in the pipeline. There's more than one way to play D&D with your friends online Beyond that, Fantasy Ground's modules even include annotated maps hotlinked to spawn enemies onto the grid, ready to roll initiative. ![]() Believe it or not, the entire experience, page-for-page, of the physical 5th edition D&D Starter Set is represented there. ![]() Polygon has spent some time checking out the content in The Lost Mine module. The first set of products, including the D&D Complete Core Class Pack, D&D Complete Core Monster Pack, and The Lost Mine of Phandelver went on sale last week. Add to that the officially licensed D&D modules available for download, including add-on classes and monster collections, as well as entire campaigns. One of the most capable solutions is Fantasy Grounds, which has a bewildering assortment of features and flexibilities that allow game masters to create everything from homebrew games, to Pathfinder and other established tabletop systems. In the meantime, a number of virtual tabletop solutions cropped up organically online, allowing players to come together from remote locations around the world and have an experience very similar to playing at a table together in the same room. But over the lifecycle of 4th edition the vision wavered, and in 2012 the Virtual Table beta was officially cancelled. First publicized in the back pages of 4th edition core rulebooks, it promised a fully-realized, 3D tabletop roleplaying experience. Available through Steam, the software can allow players to virtually recreate the 5th edition D&D tabletop experience complete with dice rolling, 2D maps and a play experience completely controlled by a dungeon master.Īnyone who's been playing D&D over the last decade remembers the promise of Wizard's Virtual Table.
