Amen. Give me one suite of tools that works together and I'll be a very happy GM.

I use Realm Works to DM both online and tabletop games. For online, I use Fantasy Grounds. I have found that FG and Realm Works are two totally separate products that work very well together. (I have run POTA and Lost Mines for 5e online). I planned on just going with Fantasy Grounds to run those modules and not use Realm Works since I could purchase the official WOTC content for Fantasy Grounds but not Realm Works. That did not work, FG does not provide the campaign management that RW does and quite frankly I found running the story from FG quite clunky. I ended up entering all the data by hand for LMOP and POTA into Realm Works and run the story from Realm Works(the players have the players copy and prefer that). The only issue I have, other than the data entry, is the players want me to sync RW during game play and the current way to sync requires me to exit the realm which kinda sucks. For Tabletop I use Realm Work and not a VTT and display the image on a 2nd monitor via Realm Works smart image. I kinda go back and forth between showing a dungeon on realm works and using dungeon tiles, but Realm Works keeps crashing on me when i show smart images. So I might just bail on that idea and use dungeon tiles. Realm works is awesome for running the campaign. It would be great if LWD for the content market somehow teamed up with a VTT or map tool so I could use Realm Works to run and adventure and just use the VTT for the maps. Even if LWD were able to get a license with WOTC to sell product, I am not sure I would want to pay for the content twice, once for Content Market and then pay Fantasy Grounds for the VTT maps. Actually 3 times since I always seem to want to have a book or PDF to read over prior to running something. Last edited by gaffneyks; December 14th, 2017 at 05:28 AM. |

I honestly hope they work Realm Works to work with Fantasy Grounds in the future, but I'm seeing more content available for Fantasy Grounds that i would have expected to have seen Realm Works get first.
Integration of Realm Works into Fantasy Grounds I do know is something that others have wanted or some sort of linking of the two. They paying for content two or thee or even 4 times is also a concern I'm having with Realm Works content market. You get a PDF, Hero Lab version, Realm Works version, and Fantasy Grounds version. |

Yeah I get what LWD are saying in that Hero Lab and Realm Works are two different tools with two very different efforts required to create the content for each.
But that doesn't really matter. IMO they have created a single solution using two tools that would be better packaged (for the dm) as a single service and content sold as a single content pack. Selling the same content in Hero Lab and Realm Works to allow the Dm to use their tools together is going to irritate users and make alternative tools look more attractive.

I have Hero Lab support integrated for MapTool in my fork and plan on integrating Realm Works if they ever release an api or URI scheme or some such...

So to round out the tools I use at my table, roll20.net as a VTT (GM view on my laptop and player view on the TV), Hero Labs for combat and initiative management and realm works for the campaign and story management. I've entered all my own data in Realm Works and now have no real need for the content market any more so I honestly don't care if or when it comes out. (unless of course they put out some content that knocks my socks off...) |
