Perhaps this has been discussed elsewhere,

But is there already, or will there be soon, iOS/Android tablet support for FG?

What about a browser based version that can be viewed over Chromecast/XBox Live/PSN? For gamers who would like to use the map features of FG in an area such as a gaming store or other public place.

The developers have talked about Tablet compatibility and its on their radar though its a major task and they may Kickstart it or something similar. FG tends to be screen real estate hungry and resolution and size of maps can add to that.

I would say a browser based version is unlikely anytime soon without a pay per month model since that means a server has to be set up and bandwidth and storage paid for each month. The developers have just started a low cost monthly fee as a way of letting people try the software for a month or so with little risk and if that takes off you might see a server based version.

Now with 5th ed available, I'd like to see this happen, at least a Player version, that way this software could be used both virtually, and at an actual table...

Tablet support is a popular request but it wont happen before the Unity port which is a huge project.
