This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Should I try to get my game on fantasy grounds

I have been looking for ways to get my game, Raven of the Scythe (link in the signature) out there and noticed.  I know that a lot of people play on virtual table tops like fantasy grounds and I was looking for opinions about trying to get the rule set for my game supported on that platform.

I have a small background with coding, nothing fancy but I am very diligent and persistent, so I would be more than will to do the coding for the ruleset myself if it is at all possible.  

Do you think this would be  a good way to make my game available to more player?  Do you think FG would be into having a very very small scale indie game on their platform?  Would I even need their help or approval to do this?  

I am mostly just thinking out loud here.  Any thoughts or opinions about this idea are more than welcomed.
You can support the Raven of the Scythe Kickstarter and help me get my game edited proffessionally and maybe even get some really cool art done for it

I made a game which you can download and try out for free!!!

It would differentiate your game from others. I could see it viable for sales promotion, but how much ROI is unknown. The big question will be how much effort will be needed to get your game working (and tested) on FG. You might want to get opinions directly from the FG forums to see if their players would even consider new systems.

Thanks for the input.  

How this all started was, since I live in a pretty small town and dont have too many opportunities to get my game in front of people, BUT if I could put it on a virtual table top, maybe I could run games with people as a way to sort of show it off.

Just where my head is at and where I was going with it.
