FG Con Virtual Gaming Convention: Castles & Crusades

Post by wbcreighton »

The community of Fantasy Grounds 2 users is putting on a virtual global gaming convention.

Details of the convention and how to sign up can be found here:

There is a google spreadsheet with a schedule of games and applicable times:

The basic idea is for experienced GMs/users of Fantasy Grounds 2 Virtual Table Top to host one shot rpg adventures during the weekend of July 20-22, the same way that role playing games are played at such real world conventions like GenCon. The majority of GMs hosting games have an Ultimate license, meaning that no software purchase is required to play in the majority of sessions. We are hoping to show off the functionality of FG2 to new users, and have a fun weekend of gaming.

We currently have 25+ game sessions scheduled over the weekend using rule sets including D&D, Pathfinder, Rolemaster, Mutants & Masterminds, Savage Worlds, The One Ring, Castles & Crusades ( 2 sessions ), and Dresden Files (Fate). This is a global convention so there are games scheduled around the clock.

There are two sessions scheduled for C&Cs:

As of today there are still open games, including both C&C games. One of them is very early if you are in the US, and uses AD&D+C&C.
I signed up for C&C, The One Ring, and BRP Fantasy. Most of the games use the Ultimate license, which means you only have to download the free Fantasy Grounds demo (afaik it's Windows-only*), and TeamSpeak.

Games are Savage Worlds, Mutants and Masterminds, C&C, BRP post-apoc, BRP fantasy, Rolemaster, Pathfinder, 4e, Spacemaster, and Dresden Files.

(actually it's possible with Wine or Crossover to use on Linux or Mac: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/features/systemreqs.xcp)
