I've used both roll20 and FG, and i personally prefer FG simply because it has so much convenience in it, where as roll20 was pretty darn manual (at least back when i used it). Not a HUGE deal with computers these days, but could be a problem if your system isn't up to snuff. The only criticism i would have is that the program is a memory hog, to the tune of 1-2 GB for just it many times. I personally use hangouts and it works great. You can resize the FG window to whatever size you want, including taking up multiple monitors, and it works fine.Īs far as voice and video chat, there's nothing within FG for that, you would have to use an external program.

All the windows are inside fantasy grounds. It will automatically half it for successful saves, automatically double roll crit damage, apply specific damage types properly (including for resistances magic weapons) and many other such neat conveniences.Īs far as 'heavy use of windows' goes, it's not too bad. on a creatures turn, you can select targets for an attack, click the attack or save feature of said attack, and apply damage. You can also add all NPCs for an encounter to your initiative tracker through this information, and from the initiative tracker you can initiate a roll for all of their abilities. All of the information on the maps is linked to all the relevant info for a room, and only the DM can see this info. There's a lot of little conveniences that makes DM'ing REALLY easy. I've used FG for about a year now, and it's pretty darn slick.
