Hi All,
I'm going to be attending a con next month and was hoping to use my FG Ultimate license on a tablet (I only have Android tablets) to view and update my characters. Is there a way to do this, or am I stuck with having to update a spreadsheet, and then FG later on?

Thank you,
TK

FG is currently only available as a Windows application, with virtual wrappers for Mac and Linux.

If you have a Big tablet, and a working internet connection, you could make it possible over Teamviewer.
But i would not recommend it.

The next Fantasy Grounds platform will likely support Android and iOS tablets - not initially but down the track these platforms should be supported....
But that is still some time away...

Buy a Surface/Pro and use that as your Fantasy Grounds portable tablet.
It's expensive, doesn't help your question at all, but totes worth it being able to FG on a tablet anywhere.

You can get a cheap 10.1 inch windows that would let you fg and gog.com most games. I had to keep one windows tablet just for the older games. And if your eyes are good an 8 inch is only 100

I've used Splashtop from time to time. Did a nice job for me.

If you really want to do it, you can use chrome remote desktop to tunnel into a PC running FG. I normally DM remotely using a chromebook, but this is done using a faster internet connection. I have also used it to remote into my PC using my android phone and in a pinch run part of a session using that when I was running late as a DM, but that was more of a PITA than a help.

So, it can be done, but depending on the device, it can be a hassle.
