I think it would be cool if players could look at their character sheet and roll some dice on a mobile app without any of the other features of the full program. I have some players without a laptop who would basically do that with DnD Beyond that would love that capability with FGU. Then they'd still be able to play with us on Fantasy Grounds with other games. We would have to basically jump on Discord and share screen, but they can point where they want their character to go on the shared screen and read handouts and stuff on there - basically they'd still be able to join the adventure with us.
I'm guessing the DM would still have to handle effects and automation unless they can set it up on a computer beforehand. It might be annoying to set those up or apply them on a small screen.

FGU characters can be exported as XML, but I'm not aware of anything else that parses the schema beyond... hm, I think there have been a few system-specific attempts to convert character sheets to PDF (e.g. https://fantasygrounds2pdf.vercel.app/ ; don't know if that's up-to-date for current D&D 5E, but that's one ruleset that it targets).

There are multiple ways to be able to export a character from FG for 5E (anyhow) and have the XML converted to a PDF. They could then save that file to their phone or tablet.

Any update regarding the app?

Having the character sheet accessible from a tablet / phone to free up screen space would be awesome, especially when playing on a laptop. I don't know how restrictive hasbro's licensing is, but being able to read our purchased source material on a companion app / website would also be great.
I've already sunk a lot of money into the FG ecosystem, but once WOTC releases their inhouse vtt, if a single purchase gets you the books in dndbeyond website/app, and their VTT, it would be hard to justify continuing with FG for DnD.Last edited by tassadarforaiur; October 27th, 2024 at 19:33.

The DnD VTT is going to start off like a sandbox VTT and not much else, but a dice roller and such, likely not nearly as well developed initially. There will be a subscription, and several micro-transactions to get more content. I am also invested into FG a lot too, but not going to abandon ship because of not having a mobile reader.FGA Founder
