LWD needs to realize that even though the base Realm Works product does not compete with the Virtual Tabletops . The content market sure does. And if Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds can come to an agreement with WOTC. Then it would be in LWD best interest to do so also, or lose business. Its not like they did not have a long time to make a deal with WOTC since it has taken so long for them to go live.
I already entered everything I need for LMOP into Realm Works, but I needed the maps. Once I went out and purchased the maps from Mike Schley for $10 I saw that the whole adventure was for sale on Fantasy Grounds and Roll20 for $20. And it got me thinking, LMOP was just for the first 5 levels. Do I really want to do this all over to add Princes of the Apocalypse to Realm Works?
Why did i take the time to enter this in Realm Works when for $10 more I could have just purchased the whole adventure? Now granted I would have to purchase the virtual tabletop software and get everyone to agree to stop using miniatures and use the virtual tabletop. But still.
I had hoped the content market would solve this problem for me, it appears that LWD has decided to focus on Paizo products, hence it has not solved my problem and I am disappointed. Thus my above post.

I hear you on this and FYI, I actually own both Fantasy Grounds and Realmworks. I went a little crazy and I have POTA hard copy, I purchased the FG copy when it was on sale and I purchased the individual maps from Schley. I loaded everything manually into Realmworks. Ton of copying and pasting and uploading maps from my purchases from Schley. Works great as the players love the ability to look at everything when we are offline given this is such a long campaign. However, you all can do the math. It was a big investment for me for one campaign!
I really want to keep using realmworks for my larger campaigns in conjunction with fantasy grounds. Just need to think about the cost/benefit.
