Wow....
I saw the bad reviews, and figured they couldn't be that bad. All I needed was 50px for maptools, but these really are bad. They're very low res. Dont. Just Dont. Not worth $8

I bought this system on the strength of the other user reviews. I am a deaf roleplayer and thought the chat-window orientated nature of this product would enable enjoyable online roleplaying. It may well do, but the system is so incredibly hard to use I may never know. I expected that there may be a Help file or toolkit that I could read to familiarise myself with the product but no, all I can see are a collection on tutorial videos hosted on youtube which I cannot hear. Ultimately, this was a waste of my time and money and I am pretty annoyed that anyone would release a product without providing clear instructions as to how it works.

Hello Michael,
Your feedback is unfortunately very valid. The user manual we used to ship with the download has been deprecated since many of the screens referenced now have a different appearance. We have started to rely upon video instructions for many of the steps without properly considering what that would mean for the deaf community. I would be happy to send you the slightly out of date user manual. It won't cover the newer features, but it does show you the basic functionality which still exists today. In addition, I think you would find that there is additional online documentation on the www.fantasygrounds.com site and a helpful community willing to help. If you are unhappy with the product and support, we would grant a full refund of your purchase. You can contact me at support@fantasygrounds.com. - Doug

It gets the job done, but the default color palette used is fairly hideous, not to mention hard on the eyes.
The default background color is this semi-radioactive bright blue; given how long a GM and players tend to be staring at their screens during a Fantasy Grounds 2 session, I truly wish that the creators had toned down the color intensity.
From a technical standpoint, the program delivers what it promises, in full.
M&M3e gamemasters will probably want to add in powers and other game details which have appeared since this Ruleset arrived, but the core functionality of the game rules are here for virtual tabetop play.
Final score? I'm giving it a 3 out of 5. Full marks for functionality, but a virtual tabletop that's this hard to look at over extended periods of time needs some work.
Buy it if you need what it does, but wear sunglasses.
My opinion, anyway.

This product is almost perfect.
The only thing I didn't like is when buying rulesets, beware that they may not get the attention of being updated (see my review of Iron Heroes for FG2).
But however, I did enjoy playing with other players and GM'ing that I did upgrade to an Ultimate license.
This utility hase everything you need to play a pen&paper game online, however you do need to buy supported rulesets to expand beyond 3.5srd
Playing with the addition of a voice chat client speeds up your game over Fantasy Grounds greatly.
The community of players is large, so the only problem is finding those who can attend at your prefered times. I have created a friendship with a dozen other players that play in my games consistently (all of them full license users) and I have hosted games for those who only have the demo version.
You will be surprised at how many Ultimate License holders host games so demo players can experience a "full" game experience.

Came with a virus. I'm glad it was free. I tried to determine if my system just didn't like something about this download, but every attempt came back with the same virus warning. So I'm glad it was free, but disappointed, too - I really like the Savage Worlds line and was looking forward to another resource for it.

Thanks for letting us know about your concern. The file scans clean from our end and I suspect this is the same issue reported by another user on a different product falsely flagged as a virus by Symantec. Please let us know if you have a different message than that below or if you are getting an error in a different A/V program.
The good news is that it is not a virus and is a false positive warning from Symantec simply because it is "unknown" or the file is not well known enough to have a good reputation among the Symantec user community. I re-scanned the file with AVG and did a quick search of the reported error ""WS.REPUTATION.1" and there are pages of results verifying this case. This is an interesting article describing why software from smaller, lesser known companies gets automatically flagged by Symantec as being untrustworthy and how to remedy the problem.

Beautiful skin extension but came with a few bugs. I believe it's been fixed. If not, contact Doswelk on the fantasy grounds II forums and he'll send you a file pack to fix it.

Although I love Fantasy Grounds, and I LOVE the Iron Heroes Ruleset.
DO NOT buy this product. Not until they either update it for Fantasy Grounds 2 or create a D20 JPG extension for FG2.
With every passing update of Fantasy Grounds, this ruleset is become more and more buggy and unplayable, and my group has been playing my Iron Heroes campaign faithfully through Fantasy Grounds for over a year now.
Though Smiteworks has offered me a refund, I did not take it. I really just want to keep on GM'ing my Iron Heroes campaign... and my faithful players feel my pain with each session.
My players would buy this, if it worked. They love playing Iron heroes, the changes in Armor/Magic is awesome, its way more fun being a hero (not a paper-doll layered in Magic Items) If Smite would have kept updating it I'm sure everyone I've GM'ed this game with would have bought the Ruleset.

I should have heeded the review before me. These token are all a mere 60 pixels wide. So, practically useless. Even digitally in most cases. Not to say that the art isn't great, just the delivered format. And price.

As with all Fantasy Grounds products from smith Works, this is another excellent addition. Priviosly ran this adventure on face-to-face tabletop and now on Fantasy Grounds. Virtually no difference.

Decent quality of pictures but a wide range. I was disappointed that they were not available for licensing, i.e. no use in my own products.

Excellent rendition of the Rolemaster ruleset. It brings back great memories.

I'm having trouble installing the patches to Fantasy Grounds II lite.

Nice, quick and easy maps to drop into your campaign. Ideal for those of you using virtual table tops like Maptool.
To be honest I could probably achieved the same results given a little time (some of the component objects are freely available on the internet) but at the price I can't fault them. If time is money then these are well worth it.

Very good works well with Fantasy grounds! Call of cthulhu is one of my favourite RPG's and being away from ym gaing goup this really helps.
