How does fantasy grounds compare to roll20?

pretty sure you can advertise a roll20 marketplace product or any other product on KS without getting the project insta-banned/flagged/copyright claim/etc for using the term Roll20 in your project.

FG is the T$R era of content control, while roll20 is the 3e OGL era of acceptance of content creators.

That is completely wrong. I know in fact that Roll20 has shut down Kickstarter projects in the past for using their name or logo. Both platforms require an agreement to be in place before you can sell content. Anybody can sell tokens and map packs for use with VTTs without any sort of agreement. Using someone else's logo and name to promote your content without an agreement is disallowed and common for most professional companies.

We have around 150 or so publishers and Indie content people producing content for our platform and over 1200 DLC packs -- not individual tokens. I'm not sure how that is restrictive to the point of preventing people to publish content.

BTW, SmiteWorks has never banned/flagged or whatever any KS projects that used our name without permission. In the few cases where we discovered this after it was launched, we reached out to the KS creators to ask them to either get a license agreement in place or pull the FG portion of their project.

another persons opinion found from the web. it is small but concise. seemingly mostly focus on people who prefer P&P even for online play and a few reasons why...

from someone who seems to stream on Twitch as well, so possible to get direct feedback from them when they stream for more in depth looks at the reasons mentioned in the "article" (that is what kids are calling blogs now right? articles, like they are professional journalists in some professional publication?)
