I believe BGE will have the ability to play RPGs solo, but I'm not sure, the demos you have are what you will get as full licence with extras so you know better than me, I'd like to know what different myself.

Hi everyone,

I'm the developer of BRPG and BGE. Mike tipped me off about this discussion, so I thought I'd chime in.

First off, BIG thanks to gameleaper (you're Mark, yes?) for mentioning my apps.

Now I'd like to clear up any confusion about my apps.

• BRPG is primarily for RPGs, but can also be used for boardgaming.

• BGE is just for boardgaming. Trying to play an RPG with it is not advisable. Please don't think of BGE as a "poor man's BRPG", because it's not.

• If you're into both types of games, either get BRPG, or get both (as Mike did).

This forum thread should help clarify the differences between the two programs.

Pardon the re-post from elsewhere on these forums, but I wanted to make sure you folks saw this.



The goal of this Kickstarter campaign is to fund the development of the next generation of Battlegrounds virtual tabletop software, which will be called "Battlegrounds Ultimate" (aka BGU).

This "new" virtual tabletop isn't starting from scratch. It builds upon the ten years of development that went into the first generation of the software (BRPG). This project should be of interest to anyone with an interest in RPGs (it supports both remote play and face-to-face game sessions). Among other worthy goals, a successful campaign will help Battlegrounds restore full support for Macs.

If the second Stretch Goal can be reached, it will add a "free-to-play" mode, where anyone can use the BGU app without a license (albeit with a reduced feature-set), and that will mean LOADS more users, making it much easier to find a GM, or an extra player, for your game.

There's even a Pledge Level that covers an entire typical gaming group (offering bundle pricing), which offers the biggest savings.

Please check out the Kickstarter campaign page to learn more. At least watch the brief 2-minute video, which is pretty cool.
