I didn't want to clutter the 'Looking for Group' subforum with this so figured I'd put it here and see if it gets noticed. I was watching Matt Colville's recent YouTube video on this subject and noticed several of these games beginning to pop up in the last week or so. I am seriously considering trying my hand at running one but admittedly, I have a limited schedule, probably more odd than limited but still, it would restrict my running of one somewhat. In all likelihood it would not be a mass affair with 30+ players, maybe more like 6-12 or so.

Has anyone here run one using Fantasy Grounds? Are you planning too?

I've thought of it. I have an 'edge of the world' setting that I've been cultivating for awhile. I normally have a one-shot group that I run online so I may restart it in that fashion, sans the rotating players model for a drop-in one. First though I need to gain a higher proficiency in run-n-gunning SR5e as to not drop the prep in that area.

You could run this in any frontier area. I've been thinking of running on in the High Forest of the Forgotten Realms.

One thing that might make sense is to find a way to make the exploration, travel, navigation and tracking more interesting.

Take a look at the Kingmaker AP series by Paizo (https://paizo.com/pathfinder/adventurePath/kingmaker), it has some interesting ideas for edge of the known world campaigns.

This looks like something quite adaptable and a great starting off place.

Thanks!
