Table Basics: Alternative Feats on Fantasy Grounds

The exciting new way to earn player Feats, Table Basics: Alternative Feats, is now available on Fantasy Grounds VTT client, the easiest way to play 5th Edition D&D games online. Once you have your copy from the Fantasy Grounds Forge, update and activate the module in your campaign library.

It was such a fun and unique challenge moving from layout and design tools, and even programming in other VTTs, to the user tools in Fantasy Grounds. I learned a lot, making this a really exciting release. Creating your own modules is a lot like creating your own campaigns. From beginning to release, the process is different than other indie publishing tools.

For various reasons I tend to have email threads with someone from each VTT option. It’s clear that most don’t understand how powerful interaction with their users is at setting expectations. A rude and dismissive interaction shines a spotlight on any flaws in the system. Helpful and pleasant communication opens doors and makes creators flock to their system. The FG team is not just nice, but very supportive, especially in their social media.

Expand your character options, let your GM know today to check out Table Basics: Alternative Feats on the FG Forge.

Table Basics: Astonishing Magic Items

In the newest addition to the Table Basics series, treat your 5th Edition players to a new array of magic items. This tome of 118 new weapons, armor, and goods gives brand new powerful legendary items, as well as a large assortment of low magic equipment to treat your players with new abilities, without affecting the long term balance.

While the 5th Edition magic items tend to focus on long swords and spells, Astonishing Magic Items aims to give martial classes new combat choices, flavor the world with an armory of axes and blunt weapons, grant spell casters some melee options, and to view magical equipment through the lens of daily life in your campaign.
