Difference between version 1 & 2?

[Silas1066]

I have FG version 1, and I've played a few campaigns with it. Now I see ver 2 is out.

What is the difference?

Can the DM/GM take control of a player character?

The biggest problem we had was when a network failure caused someone to "drop out" of the game completely. Or, I someone can't play during that session, it would be nice if the DM could control the character for that session.

DM controling characters works exactly the same as in 1.05f. However, what I do when a player can't make it, is free his character and have another player open the character sheet for me even if I am running the character. This puts the character "ring" up in the top left and allows drag and drop to the combat tracker which makes things much easier to track. I can usually run most missing player's charcters off the combat tracker and the character's spell mini list (if they have spells).

I haven't played with FG2 yet (just beginning to use it). I noticed the activate/release feature - does it mean one player can control multiple characters by any chance?

Yes they can.
