Hi, I was wondering, how much bandwidth does FG use if you are a player? I am asking as I am on a shitty 3G connection but would still like to join in. Thanks

The most used is when you first login.

Also, when the GM shares an image with you. This will depend on how large the image files are - most experienced FG GMs will try to reduce the size of the images and maps they will share, but some may forget/miss the odd map or image in their campaign.

In addition, if your game uses voice there will be the additional bandwidth of the voice system used - TeamSpeak, Skype, etc..

you might expect 5-15mb on first download.
after that it should not be high unless your GM is using high res maps - some do - some dont.
i try and keep my images as light weight as possible.
