    What do you mean by 'drawing capabilities'?
    Everyone I know who has tried Fantasy Grounds has really enjoyed it. Also, if you want to get them hooked, you can just subscribe to the ultimate subscription for one month and they can try it for free.

    If the Devs had a date an d wanted to share it they would.
    It will be here when its here...

    There will always be a new version around the corner, like phones, like computers, like cars etc. All the time that you are waiting you are missing out on the goodness that is FG today.
    Drawing is pretty crappy in FG. I dont think the Devs have any intention to turn FG into a mapping or drawing tool - but I do hope that there will be some improvements to drawing - different colours, different line thicknesses... but if you want a lot more than that there are so many good graphics/mapping apps available already.

    I'm right there with you Surge. I think i'm still going to commit to buying into the tool sets simply because it's such a time saver to have them but i'm very much looking forward to the new engine and what they can do to allow for mapping tools... i'm hoping to be able to drop geomophs onto the mapgrid and create dungeons in game instead of loading a flat map file.

    Have you had a look at the layers extension: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...-on-CoreRPG%29

    This allows dropping dungeon geomorphs as tokens on lower levels - see the video link in the first thread.

    There are some limitations, so make sure you read and digest the gotchas listed in the first two posts.

    hmm. i read the posts, downloaded the extension, copied it to my extensions folder. I don't see any other instructions to make it work... when I load a map I don't get the extension controls at the top fo the map. i checked and i'm running FG 3.0.13. any suggestions?

    UPDATE: ok i see the extensions window when i click the create campaign button and it shows 5e but nothing about the extenstions im trying to load.

    On the "Load Campaign" screen enable the Enhanced Images extension before starting the campaign.

    Do you see any extensions in any other rulesets?

    Not wanting to hijack but here is an example of another VTT done in Unity.

    https://www.3dvirtualtabletop.com/index.html

    Its not a real competitor to FG but you can get an idea of how the graphics engine can be used for a RPG.

    Then again would be good to get these guys working with Smiteworks...
