Here's something to consider if some of you might be on the fence or just want to check it out without an investment: every April and October they have a fan-run virtual convention called FG Con. During that weekend SmiteWorks sets all Standard License GMs to Ultimate License whether they're running an FG Con event or not.

So you can be a player for a Pathfinder (or any other ruleset for that matter) game during FG Con just using the free demo, since all GMs are able to host free players that weekend.

All 3 FG Cons I've played in so far easily had enough PFS (and coming soon, SFS) to get official Paizo support, boons and all that, plus Jesse pops over to moderate the competitive group dungeon.


I've used FG for a couple years now for PFS games and it's always been great. Now that Paizo is licensed on FG, the official DLC is extremely high quality and if any 'oopsies' ever get through, the developers in charge of each product get them patched extremely quickly.

Just my two cents, but having used Roll20 and now FG, I've no plans to ever go back to Roll20 unless maybe as a player. But as a GM? No way.


I haven't played PFS via VTT yet but hope to soon. I use Fantasy Grounds though, not Roll20. I do keep a close watch on the PFS forums there and recently started a thread asking about the actual games because my local PFS is pretty much 100% min/max murder hobo and I'm totally not into that so I'm hoping the FG community is better in that respect. From the responses and tangent conversations I got, it sounds like I might have a better time there than my F2F experiences so far.
