![]() (Then again, it's been a year since I checked). Originally they were in the process of producing their own VTT, which is currently still in Vaperware status, last I checked. I guess I'm still not getting why Paizo needs to get personally involved with Fantasy Grounds but Wizards of the Coast doesn't. No, what I mean is: Does Wizards of the Coast publish products for Fantasy Grounds II? If not, why would Paizo? And if so, colour me surprised! Now I do not know what they mean by "official" support but it should be nice none the less. Here is a post in which the lead developer states Pathfinder will have official support at Gencon. Same, I use D20pro and Herolab and it's a beautiful marriage so far, there is a post in their forums stating that for GenCon they will be releasing a official Pathfinder rulest. The VTT gaming community is a community that continues to grow and it is a market that shouldn't be ignored. In saying all this, I agree that it would be nice if Paizo eventually provides official full support to the most commonly used VTT gaming applications such as Fantasy Grounds, D20Pro and Maptools. Furthermore, the forums are well supported by Pathfinder fans who have created maps and images for the Adventure Path quests that I can use in D20Pro in conjunction with the pdf's I have already bought from Pathfinder. This certainly aids my online gaming experience with my friends. I think Paizo have already made helpful steps in the right direction by allowing their Adventure Paths and Rulebooks to be bought online as PDFs. Hero Lab and D20Pro support each other which means I can load up Hero Lab Pathfinder character files I have created into D20Pro for the Rise of the Runelords campaign I am currently running. ![]() Personally speaking, the support to Hero Lab is advantageous to me as I have bought Hero Lab and D20Pro (a VTT gaming application like FG). Providing full support to a VTT would be far more complicated and might require alot more work. It is probably much easier for Paizo to support Hero Lab as they only need to worry about the classes and races being properly supported. ![]() Hero Lab is a character creation/design application while Fantasy Grounds is a complete VTT gaming application. Hero Lab and Fantasy Grounds are not one and the same thing. Eric Tillemans wrote: Hero Lab is a windows only application, yet it is fully supported while Fantasy Grounds is not - why is that?
