Reeeeealy? Tell me more. Ive gotten out of gaming because of travel time and whatnot, ive been looking at their website and it looks interesting.
How easy is it to find groups at large who 1. dont suck and RP like 14 year olds 2. use this software?

Well, I really have never tried to find a group besides the core group that I've played with over the last 11 years or so. We started in high school and only play maybe 8 times per year or so, but I absolutely recommend buying the FG software. If you are DMing, you'll have to do a good bit more prep work at first, but if you get into it, you will start to find a lot of shortcuts. You can import almost anything you want when it comes to rule books and maps, etc. We play 3.5E because we think its already as close as we want to perfection. I just don't see the big deal with 4th edition, but there are probably books to import for that, as well.

I kinda figured there were very few of us... I haven't played D&D in years. Wish i still had the Black Robe, dice, manuals, tons and tons of books. I must say there must be some kinda Role Playing Societies out there somewhere. I think it be fun to do a weekend sometime. I've often thought of tracking down old college buddies and do a campaign [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I played vampire:the masquerade and DnD.

We had a great storyteller of a DM who would prepare acts with specific music for each, and it was more akin to improvised theater than just spreadsheeting. Was kind of intimidated the first time i saw 12 people do that, you dont wanna suck when you see them put that much into it.

Dranked a bit and smoked weed, if we smoked too much and people were getting a bit too high and not talkin alot, DM would slap his book closed and then we would just house party it for the rest of the nite. Good times.

The software is pretty easy to use, although it's also very customizable so if you like that sort of thing, you can get as complex with it as you want.

It comes with both a 3.5 and 4e ruleset out of the box. The 3.5 ruleset includes all the OGL rules, the 4e ruleset has no 'rules' but the player sheets etc are designed with 4e in mind. You can obtain modules for all of the 4e rulebooks if you look around the net, or you can use Tenian's parser to create your own from a DDI subscription.

To your first question, every time we've had an opening for my campaign, a simple post to the FG forums has always yielded ~10 responses and for the most part everyone we've encountered this way has been a solid addition to the group. There was one guy who played for a few sessions then disappeared without a word, not sure if he didn't like our play-style or if something else happened, but even he wasn't a dick or anything during the actual game [You must be logged in to view images.

I've tried a few virtual tabletops over the years, and I strongly recommend Fantasy Grounds, it's got a great mod community and strong developer support, and a pretty active user community as well.

I've been playing with a steady group for the past 17 years. Mostly DnD, but lately we've moved onto some of the RIFTS games.

^.^ I game with Kevin every now and then. One of my group was interning for Palladium for awhile, so we all got to know the staff. It's nice living a few miles from a Gaming Company.
