Hi Everyone,
I have a very first world dilemma ...
With the start of lock-down I finally decided to put in some time and start an online campaign for some work colleagues, (we had been running a variety of Free League games in the office before lock-down). I have had a FGC standard license (unused *sigh*) for many, many years but had also backed FGU for an ultimate license. So I started a DnD5e campaign in FGU as that meant my work colleagues had zero costs, thus removing the biggest hurdle to getting everyone started. The first two sessions were superb with everyone enjoying themselves. However, subsequent sessions (4 to be exact) have been plagued with disconnects and also my server session crashing a few times.
I got the opportunity to play in a SWADE one-shot run by Doswelk in FGC. The experience was so much more smooth compared to what FGU seems capable of right now ... hey, its a beta and that should be expected.
So I have decided to transfer my campaign to FGC for now and run it that way. Unfortunately I only have a standard license (steam version) and so need to upgrade to ultimate. My options appear to be:
Upgrade to ultimate in steam for £86.88
Subscribe to FGC Ultimate through SmiteWorks direct for $9.99 pcm
Estimating the USD to GBP conversion rate through paypal I reckon that I can subscribe for about 9 months before the upgrade becomes more cost-effective than the subscription. So anyone want to throw their thoughts into the pot? I know it is my decision but every time I think I have made my mind up I get hit by doubt. Please help!
