Question from a potential newbro

[tommenquar]

I am looking at purchasing the ultimate license however there are a few things still holding me back. the biggest concern to me at the moment is this:

I have heard from a few sources floating around that a new fantasy grounds is in works. Would we have to buy a new copy to get the new software or would we be upgraded?

PS sorry if this isn't the correct location for this post.

Hi tom, and Welcome! to the Community.

Yes, there is a new version in the works - we don't have an ETA as yet but the guess we have is late 2017. Yes, there will be some sort of upgrade price - again, we haven't been told what it is yet but bassed on past experience it will be worth it - let me explain: I purchased FG back in 2011-12 and have gotten all the upgrades for free since then. That's v2.7.2 (I think) to the current v3.2.1.

So, the advice you'll get from just everyone here is jump in now, don't wait. You won't regret it :)

In the meantime, if you haven't done so already, let me encourage you to take a look at some of the great Tutorial Videos available on the Fantasy Grounds Wiki (and on YouTube). Damn's are good, as are Xorn's, and people seem to like mine as well (mine are also available from the links in my sig, below).

Start with the ones on the CoreRPG, because the CoreRPG forms the foundation of just about all the RPGs we play with Fantasy Grounds - so by learning how to use FG with the CoreRPG you'll learn about 80% of what you'll need to know to play any RPG with Fantasy Grounds. Once you've gone through the CoreRPG Videos you can then go on to Videos about your chosen RPG.

When you get familiar with the basic Fantasy Grounds product the next step is to check out some of the Extensions (Plug-Ins) for FG, such as the DOE: Sound, DOE: Locations, DOE: Weather and DOE: Organisations Extensions (to name a but a few).

And keep on asking questions - we're a pretty friendly lot here, and we love answering questions.

Cheers

Edit: Updated my version info - thanks Zacc :)

That's v2.7.2 (I think) to the current v2.3.1.

Sounds like you are going backwards there Dulux :)

Hi tommenquar the Upgrade might be priced around $15 for the Ultimate. Thats just rumour. It wont be a whole lot. And your DLC will all upgrade with the license.
