Using FG at the tabletop

[Bull2049]

Hey

[Bull2049]

I downloaded the file,"BigFonts.ext", now what do I do with it?

[mattekure]

If you want to load the extension, put it in your Fantasy Grounds data directory, inside the extensions folder. then when you load your campaign file, make sure you select the extension on the list before load your campaign

We play TTRPG (Pathfinder) with a projector and FG. I project the "player login" via chromecast onto a cheap dry erase/frameless white board ($8 at Home Depot) so my players can move around physical minis and roll physical dice (be in the moment) but still have the benefit of utilizing FG content/maps.

Nice! How do you find the detail on the map, with that projector having a native resolution of 800x480?

[Rothana]

We have to use dim lighting, but the detail is pretty good. Experimenting with larger font extensions now because the FG font isn't readable. Otherwise, very happy!

Cool!

OK, now put a lock out tag on the ceiling fan switch!

I was wondering how a 1080P projector could be so cheap, until I realized it isn't 1080P at all...

I've been thinking of the same idea in using a whiteboard surface on the table. Projected content can be augmented with markers if needed. Cleans up easy.

[Rothana]

Nope, not 1080, but as long as the map you are projecting is high enough quality, it's not an issue.
