    I doubt they want to change the database structure.
    Adding some type of local database engine would have many advantages but would likely be a major support pita.
    Im pretty sure at this stage Cloud is just a brokered connection method that bypasses the need for port forwarding...
    I could be wrong...

    Not announced, but if you look at the image of the launch screen, there is a radio button for "Cloud" So I assume their is the ability to have your campaign hosted on FG servers with FGU.
    Im pretty sure this will just be a brokered connection to bypass por forwarding - I dont believe that your data will be stored in the cloud - but we will find out soon enough (well prolly not soon enough for everyone but soonish anyway!).

It would be nice to be able to trade off GM responsibilities to a limited number of people once in a while without having to buy all of the books again to do so legally.
    1) The current design doesnt really lend itself to this and I havent seen anything from the devs suggesting that multiple GMs is near the top of their todo list...
    2) This has license implications for their content partners... Im not sure we will ever see that...

    You should make sure you vote for both on the wish list though

    Next wish based on multimonitor, would be the ability to run a map client that the GM can control. I like to use FG as my game map on my tv for my players to interact with but it gets cumbersome to control it.

    This one Im pretty sure is not happening. The libraries for Unity multi monitor support are not reliable enough across SWs targeted platforms.

    Any chance for PC data being available for players on mobile (iOS and Android)?

    I keep seeing this - mostly because 'map/tokens/combat tracker' interaction. That's fine - keep them modal - let us open story entries or images in windows that can undock - make it a special menu option and 'floating' windows can't interact with the main info - that'd be ok too - just having that capability would allow me to manage my information and if I needed to interact with the info I could close and reopen in the 'captive' FG window.

    I mean I'm not saying that even this is 100% possible but if you stop thinking *everything has to interact* it opens more possibilities
