If real, it's the most sadistic marketing choice ever seen.

It is real.

It is real.

I am glad indeed. But does not change the nature of my previous statement

So let's wait and see what the kickstarter is about.

Are there any rumors?

I've heard it's for the new 4.0 version of Fantasy Grounds using a new graphics engine (with new coding support), new networking stack, and should be fully backwards compatible.

Assuming that it's still a feature - I'm most excited about the tiles function.

As far as FGU itself, here's a summary FAQ of what we "know" which is not a lot:

As far as the Kickstarter itself, no news yet about backer levels, stretch goals, timeline, etc. We'll learn some of that at least on May 1st.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Fantasy Grounds Friday's touch upon the subject this week.

I love bringing existing maps to life and adding in all the missing details. Something that was fun in my days using minis was watching the players faces when I brought the set out. Now with this update it will help bring some of that back
