Hey. I've been running a campaign at my place for a little while and just started using FGII to play as a player around here. I was interested learning how to use the FG program as a GM (Showing maps to players, changing names for typing to them, setting up a battle grid and such) The tutorial for GM's brings me to a blank page.

Was hoping someone that knows what they are doing could show me around. I'm going to hopefully run 3.5 D&D if I can figure this stuff out and finalize my campaign.

The tutorials in the lower right (https://fantasygrounds.com/downloads/) work for me.

WinXP Home SP 2
Windows Media Player

Interesting. Try this ( https://www.rpgvirtualtabletop.com/tutorials/tutorials.html)

Otherwise, I'd try to download the tutorials and try running them from your local PC. What are you using for your video player? The files are WMV, so using some players may not work. If using Windows Media Player, you may want to consider upgrading to the newest version (not sure what you're running).

I'm using Windows XP and Media Player/ VLC but its not working. Even the other link, though it gives me a error 404. How do I download the tutorials.

You can right click on the link to "Save Target As..." (depends on your browser, I use IE). However, if you're getting a 404 error, I'm not sure that it will work. Worth a try. Another possibility is you may have packet loss on a wireless conection.

Here (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8769) is another location. Again, this works for me.

Is anyone else aware of a location for these tutorials?
