Buy perm license or wait.

**Cluanar** · January 17th, 2018, 21:37

Greetings,

I am not in to monthly subscriptions so I ask the following in light of the new version on the brink of being released, maybe.

Do I buy the perm ultimate license now or wait for the new unity 64 bit? I don't care to re buy at a later date.

opinions?

There is not date set for the Unity release. If you want to use Fantasy Grounds any time in the next few months then get the license now.

There has been no pricing structure set for the Unity release either - but SmiteWorks have frequently said that any upgrade fee will be scaled based on how long you've had your old license - less time, less money.

If you are going to use FG now, then buy now.

Yeah, Fantasy Grounds is amazing as it is right now. Pick it up and get playing, you won't regret it!

Depends on your needs. You could conceivably use r20 for a bit until unity. The unity release will pretty much be what you see here + perhaps dynamic lighting at release.

If you want to buy the FG license, I don't think buying it now rather than buying it when Unity is released will matter in the long run.

I would personally just pick it up now and enjoy it, and then see what happens with Unity rolls out in the future.

I bought the full license a couple of years ago and have no regrets about it in the least - it has been an extremely enjoyable experience for both me and my players (none of us would ever go back to Roll20, for the record).

Get FG for what it is now, which is pretty awesome. FGU will be at least what FG is now, on a better foundation.

I suppose if you prefer the roadkill grill instead if prime rib, you could look at "it's free it's free it's damn free (except when it isn't which us always)" Roll20. Me, I like my prime rib of VTTs and stick with FG.

.. lots of cheerleaders here.

Its sounds like you haven't run many games on FG yet. I'd recommend subbing an ultimate for a month to see if it fits your playstyle before you part with $170.

Is there a reason why you want the Ultimate instead of the Full license?

People are generally enthusiastic about issues/topics/things they enjoy. Not sure what's wrong with that (??).
