My group and I have been interested in FG2 for a while and we were all thinking of chipping in to buy the full membership that allows us to host nonmembers, the question is two of the other playersalso gm, and we were wondering if the system is login based to where we can share/switch between who gms on different pcs?

I'm sorry, I meant the ultimate license, not full

The license is issued to one person so by the terms of the license aggreement you are not suppose to share a license. Because of bundle pricing, if you have two GM's and have a group of 6 or less players it is cheaper to get two fulls and 6 or less light licences if you buy all the licences at once. Two Fulls and 7 lite license cost $1.50 or some more than one ultimate license. I'm not sure if you have 3 GMs, then 3 Fulls and 4 Lites are still less than one ultimate licenses.

With multiple GM's you are almost always to be better off cost-wise with some combo of full licenses for the GMs and lite license for players unless you have a very large group. Just go to the store and enter whatever combo of licenses you need to comparison shop.

The system is license key based, not log in based. If you were looking at having several people be unregistered, you would need multiple ultimate licenses.

Based on what you have said though, it might probably be better to take advantage of the bundle discount. If you got three full versions (one for each probable GM) and whatever amount of lite licenses, you'll end up saving in the long run.

Example: 3 Fulls and 5 Lite licenses comes to $153 and change. Only 4 dollars more than the ultimate license and it gives the players that want to GM the ability to do so. The bundle discount also nets you a savings of 86 dollars..

The bundle discount gets quite interesting as you add more lite licenses.
