Fantasy Grounds Prep Less. Play More.
I realize this Blog is a year old, but I just had to say, as a very new member, and future DM it is one of the most helpful things I've read. I can see I am going to have to expand my teckie side and maybe even learn to Blog. My goal is to make this the kind of experience I remember from dark ages of AD&D; when 30 or so of my closest acquaintances and friends would get together for game night. Thanks for doing the work, Mask of Winter, I plan on making it a must follow - for my future LFG posts. Happy Gaming Kitty
What about recruiting in a language that it’s not English? Fantasy Grounds is so limited on this aspect. So, If you’re a guy trying to find out some players for them to join your campaign, I’ll help you with that: 1.- Go to Roll20 and make a single payment for $2.99 , this will initiate a subscription. 2.- Make sure to have an ultimate subscription with FG 3.- Immediately after, cancel your subscription and now you’ll have one month for recruiting 4.- Open a public game and describe it using Mask of Winter’s guide 5.- Wait for it to fill up, warn everybody that they’ll need to download FG to play. You can even put it on the description 6.- Enjoy your game! I have made tests for Pathfinder campaigns and 5e campaigns and this are the results for filling up a 6ppl party: French - 2-3 days German – 2-3 days Spanish – 1-2 days Chinese – 1-2 days
As an adjunct to this extremely useful and well thought out post (well done Mask), let me mention some blatant self-promotion and draw people's attention to a Tool I developed (as an Extension) which should help in your endeavors to find a Game and/or Players - the Campaign Style Graph. This is a tool that show people visually the Style of your desired or expected game - the amount of Role-Playing vs Combat vs Problem Solving - I have found that over the years if I (as the GM) specify the relative amounts of each of these three aspects of the hobby I expect to have in my game/campaign it helps set everyone's expectations and makes recruiting that much easier. Jut my $0.02 worth, Cheers (Another Shameless-Plug(TM) brought to you by Dulux-Oz)
