Special Announcement - Kickstarter

[LordEntrails]

I started looking up FantasyGrounds today based on a recommendation of some people I know. I'm very much interested in the Unity edition but if I purchase an ultimate license now it would be $149+30 (179) as opposed to the $135 as a newcomer. Is there going to be a Kickstarter tier where you can get access to the older edition until unity comes at a reasonable discount?

Nope. KS is only for the new version, FGU. Note that the expected release of the production version of FGU is December. So if you don't go for a classic license, FGC, then you will have to wait some time. Hence why the discounted KS prices.

That said, those of us who have been using FG for some time feel that you will feel the purchase now and then the KS update is well worth it.

Or, you could always go for the &9.95/mo subscription Ultimate license, but then you would still need the Newcomer KS licenses, so you wouldn't really be saving much since it will probably be 3 months or more until the beta is where you might want to use it for live games.

EDIT: Oh, and welcome!

will we be able to build cool spell effects ie have a fire ball explode on screen or a light bolt fly across screen if we cast lighting in D&D

Certainly not on initial release but who knows what might be possible down the road.

Just want to confirm whether or not the content I have paid hundreds of dollars for (after the cost of the ultimate license) will transfer to FGC Unity.

FGU will be compatible with the stuff you already purchased for FG classic

Very happy about this news ( Thanks for an ultimate user like me before 2018, there is no much to pay)

Anyone could tell me if it will be possible to have a pointer ? ( in order to point out a special location in the maps to others players in a rapid way )

Is it just me, or does it feel like April has 240 days this year?

A quick way in the existing FG is to left+right click and drag to create your arrow pointer. Then left+right click on it again to remove it
