Hey peeps, im am new in this, so I wan't to ask a few things.

First, what is the best source of free maps n' stuff?

Which mapmaking program do you use, and which ones are generally thought to be the best?

I downloaded the pathfinder module bestiary stuff and the d&d tokens which are pretty nice and nifty, but what about all them extensions and stuff, which ones are you unable to live without?

Kind Regards

The king of all that is fishy (yes that too)

Hi there, welcome to the Fantasy Grounds forums.

Most of the questions you ask have been asked before - try searching through the forum with keywords like mapping etc. Here are a couple of threads to get you started:

Valeros's downloader is a good way of getting tokens and tiles: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17628

For extensions, a lot will depend on what RPG rules (ruleset) you are interested in. Most rulesets will have a "sticky" thread in their relevant forums that list extensions (ruleset modifications/additions) and modules (library data/adventures) available for that ruleset.
