About This Game
Prep Less. Play Better.
Fantasy Grounds is known as the most supported virtual tabletop, with more official licenses than any other tabletop of its kind. Now with Fantasy Grounds Unity, we’ve rebuilt from the ground up, so you’ll have access to more amazing features with all the benefits of an upgraded Unity platform.
What is Fantasy Grounds:
Fantasy Grounds is a dynamic system for playing a host of different roleplaying games online. It is used by hundreds of thousands of gamers worldwide to connect and play popular games such as Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder, Savage Worlds, Call of Cthulhu, and so many more. This type of program is commonly referred to as a ‘virtual tabletop’, or VTT, due to their ability to emulate various parts of an RPG session in digital form.
While you can play ANY game on Fantasy Grounds, these available systems allow you to buy preloaded content that is ready to go. Less prep time for the GM means more playtime for the players and a more enjoyable online experience overall.
Even for those wanting to run their games in person, Fantasy Grounds helps keep all your information handy and helps keep the game moving along at a fast pace.
With cross-platform play, Fantasy Grounds users can play with users on Steam or with a mixed group of users on Mac, Windows PC, and Linux platforms across the world and different time zones.

In addition to these features, we are now poised to add even greater functionality going forward. With the Unity platform, we have lots of ideas for new features and this rebuilt engine will make it easier for us to reach those goals and deliver consistent updates for free.
