Announcing New Simplified Licensing

One License to rule them all!

We are simplifying our licensing structure to make it easier for new and existing players to dive into Fantasy Grounds. Previously, customers had to choose between a Core/Standard license, an Ultimate license, and a free/Demo license. We understand that this extra decision created a barrier to adoption, so we’re making things simpler.

What’s Changing?


We are eliminating the Core/Standard license.
Moving forward, we will only offer the Fantasy Grounds VTT license (previously the Ultimate license) at a one-time cost of $50.
The free/Demo license remains available for those who want to try out the software before purchasing.
The new Fantasy Grounds VTT license will display as "Ultimate" within the application, next to the version number on the splash screen.


What About Existing Core/Standard License Holders?


If you currently own a Core/Standard license, you can continue to use it as normal.
Your Fantasy Grounds VTT license will continue to display as "Core" within the application, next to the version number on the splash screen.
You will have an upgrade path available to the new Fantasy Grounds VTT license for $30 at retail pricing.


This change ensures that all paid users receive the best experience Fantasy Grounds has to offer, with full hosting capabilities and seamless game sessions. Thank you for your continued support, and we can’t wait to see you in-game!

Adventure Simplified.

My ultimate license cost $150... can I get some credit back for overpaying?

That is not how price changes work.

Very good! :) Since the price of ultimate got reduced a while ago some of us already wondered whether it still makes sense to offer the standard version :)

True... but it couldn't hurt to offer a boon to legacy license holders... maybe throw in a token pack or something as a thank-you for getting us to this point...

They did do that in the past. It was in the last year or so that they gave existing customers two dice packs, Savage Worlds Adventure Edition Ruleset and I think some maps maybe.

So how far back does that boon go? 10 years?

Nah. Part of the reason FG is still around is that lots of people bought the Ultimate licence..now it's cheaper, so what. We get more users and keep on moving forward.

This! They gave us some free items for our loyalty. I appreciated it, especially since they could have not done anything.

Yeah, they already did that, so it's all good.
