Will FG2 work if multiple players are on the same network? Three of the players in my campaign will be connecting to me from the same home network.

It works for my players, and I've got two sets of two players who co-network

It should work fine, I have 2-4 who connect from the same network every week and no problems.

Thanks everyone. I'm really looking forward to giving it a try. I bought ultimate yesterday.

to connect have them use 'localhost'.

localhost will point to the same machine hosting the connection only on the machine hosting it. This works when you want a player connection running on the same machine but not for others on a home network. You want the internal IP address of your host machine for all others on your home network.

Last night's session ran just fine with 3 people connecting to me from the same network. Thanks for the input everyone.
