Paizo products?

[calseeor]

Hello all,

I had thought that some of the products made by Paizo for Pathfinder, were available for Fantasy Grounds however when I look in the store, I don't even see Paizo listed in the product filters. Am I missing something? I was hoping to be able to purchase their adventures for FG.

Regards,

No adventures are available for purchase as Fantasy Grounds doesn't have an agreement with Paizo at this time.

You can get a lot of the OGL content in the form of community produced modules here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?16074-List-of-Modules

Ah, okay. Thanks for explaining that Trenloe.

In the game system drop down you can find PFRPG and 3.5E compatible products, but none directly from Paizo. We've been trying to secure a license for some time but have been unsuccessful so far. Sorry.

As i see it, i think that such a license would be highly profitable for everybody...it's a pity

I think the problem is Piazo is doing their own VTT, so they don't want to license another one. :p

Are they doing a VTT? I thought it was just another MMORPG

Didn't they learn anything by watching the debacle over at WOTC where they tried to make a 3d VTT?

May be a situation where everyone is the smartest person in the room and they figure to avoid pitfalls from earlier failures.

Me... I'm sticking with FG. :)

It was originally announced at PaizoCon 2 years ago, a small demo given last year (underwhelming). I wasn't at PaizoCon this year so I don't know if they did any demo/update there.

The last thing I saw it was pretty basic. But the main attraction would be they are saying that there will be maps/tokens included (for free) from Paizo products you have purchased.

But, basic/limited or otherwise, Paizo are developing their own VTT and this will colour their decisions on giving licence to other VTTs to use their products.

I'm not going to spend money just to play Pathfinder online, I can do that here and probably just as well. I'm sticking with FG as it's the better option in my opinion.

I don't think it's going to lure too many people away from Fantasy Grounds. If it's going to introduce new players to VTT gaming in general then that's cool. If some of them feel they want more from their VTT, then hopefully Fantasy Grounds will pick a few of them up.

I can't remember the exact details, but I don't remember there being anything specific about a fee to use it - but I could be wrong, or they may have updated their plans recently. If it integrates Paizo products that people have already purchased pretty well it will certainly attract GMs running Paizo adventure paths or modules.

I read through the posts on the forum there and there haven't been any further details released since 2012. All the developers had to say was that it is on hold for now while they work on it further.

Perhaps they found out that a VTT is hard? Just like everyone else that starts a character generator, "Oh this will be easy!" cue couple of months later "Holy crap what did we get into?"
