In the last couple of months we learned through the Fantasy Grounds message boards that Paizo had refused to allow Fantasy Grounds II to official suppport Pathfinder RPG due to FG II not being able to run in a native mac environment. While many of us were disappointed, Doug from FG 2 had stated that Paizo was looking to their laywers to come up with something that would allow FG 2 to move forward in some sort of 'limited capacity'. Any word on this?
I'm frustrated with Paizo's decision and don't really understand why Fantasy Grounds can't have official support of the Pathfinder RPG. To take care of mac customers, Paizo could support a second VTT which does run in a native mac environment. Hero Lab is a windows only application, yet it is fully supported while Fantasy Grounds is not - why is that?
You should give scenegrinder a look... http://www.scenegrinder.com.
I'm running a pathfinder game on there now. They don't specifically support Pathfinder, but a couple members have created Pathfinder templates you can grab and use. You can also create your own templates for whatever game you play.
It's different, though... for one, it is completely hosted. Your games are always available and if a player or DM does something you get notified if you are offline. They also got lights and walls and when you move your character around the places you can and can't see change. Kinda like maptools.
The downside is they are very new, but they get back to you quickly with any questions you ask them.
