Tablet?

Can FG be played on a tablet?

Works on a Surface Pro 😊
It won't work on an Android tablet or iPad, no.

Weeeeell... not directly no. But I've often used by Android tablet to keep track of my notes in FG with Splashtop. Its not running FG as such, but it is workaround that I've found useful quite often. The hope is of course Iceman, that when in the far distant future the Unity conversion of FG happens, that tablets will be a reality.

I imagine that might be possible to run on a Linux tablet.

I've been experimenting recently with an iOS app I stumbled across called Duet. The app turns any iOS device (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad) into a second display screen when attached to a Macbook, Airbook, iMac or Pro. :)

Works really well with FG (for the DM). I plan to use a similar setup during my real-world games moving forward.

Two options for Windows users is Mouse Without Borders and iDisplay. MWoB found at https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?id=35460, I currently use this with my Surface. iDisplay config can be found at https://www.greenbot.com/article/2451320/how-to-use-your-android-tablet-as-a-second-laptop-screen.html and I will be looking to see if I can add my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro as a third monitor. I have used MWoB for some time but iDisplay is a new find and have not used it yet, may work for my note keeping and reducing my dead tree use ;).

And iDisplay works, so now I can run three monitors. One to have an eye on what the PCs see, my GM area and the third for misc functions.
