Special Announcement - Kickstarter

[Zacchaeus]

If licenses are not tied to accounts how do I ensure the content I purchased on my account transfers from my subscription to my new standalone ultimate license? Apologies if I'm missing something obvious. I appreciate the help.

DLC is tied to your account; hence the reason you need to put your username and password into Settings in order to download and install your DLC.

Am I reading this right - that having bought BOTH a Standard, and then an Ultimate license earlier (not unlike a Founder's pack on an MMO), if I want to transition either of those keys to the unity client, I literally have to pay double the amount to do so than if I had just waited until recently.....? Or is this just something for the Kickstarter and Ultimate keys will rollover anyways? I'm completely lost.

If you bought a Standard license and then Upgraded to Ultimate then all you need to do is pledge for the Ultimate license for Unity. You don't need to upgrade your Standard Licence to Unity as well. If of course you have two licenbsed and use both then you may well want to upgrade both to Unity.

Nothing rolls over unless you back a specific upgrade in the Kickstarter campaign.

Addressing your comment regarding paying twice the cost you would have had to pay if you'd waited until recently: You've had use of FG for how many years? With free upgrades, support, etc. and you're still getting a good discount for moving over to the new Fantasy Grounds Unity - your FG Classic license will still work. SmiteWorks have been saying for a while that when FG Unity comes out that there will be a sliding scale of upgrade costs - with newer users paying less as they've had less use of the application, and this also encouraged people to buy FG Classic now and use it now, knowing that they wouldn't be hit with an expensive upgrade in the near future.

There have been a few similar comments on the Kickstarter regarding why do people whose cost/year is much less than new users have to pay more for the upgrade. I struggle to grasp an argument where people who've had many years of use, upgrades and support on a product (resulting in a lower equivalent cost/year) shouldn't pay a little bit more than those users who haven't used FG for that long.

I've just pledged for my Ultimate upgrade!

You guys are doing an amazing job and since discovering FG my GM experience and what I've been able to do with it, and for my players, has been taken to levels I didn't know were possible. I can't wait to get my hands on the FGU beta and see what I can do with it!

What an honor and privilege to be part of this revolutionary project.

As someone without the ability to help with the kickstarter (don't accept paypal, CAN debit not accepted as well), will the upgrade option for Rookies be available come the Steam release, or is the reduced price only for the kickstarter? I really do want to support the kickstarter and get the Beta upgrade, but I don't really have any options.

The prices shown for the Kickstarter are only Kickstarter prices. Upgrade costs for after the KS finishes have not been announced as yet.

Ok, I'm was just wondering if there was any way I could contribute to get the upgrade for that price, given my situation.

This Kickstarter help page suggests that most debit cards are accepted: https://help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-u...make-a-pledge-

EDIT: But then another page says Citizens of Canada must have a major credit card: https://help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-u...e-Kickstarter-

Very confusing! Sorry you can't use a debit card from Canada.
