Hello!
I have been looking into purchasing fantasy grounds for the purpose of hosting my dnd campaigns. However, I am not positive that fantasy grounds has the features that would make that possible for my group.
Note: If possible I would like to be the only one paying for access to content.
So for my questions

If subscribed to the ultimate license (meaning monthly fee)
- Can I still purchase official Dnd content packs and use them during my sessions?
- More importantly. Can I share these content packs with my group? Who would be using demo accounts via steam platform. Meaning, If I hold a ultimate license, can I share all my content with demo users (All the players in my campaign)

-Thanks for your answers in advance!

When they are connected to you, yes.

When they are connected to you, yes.

So for someone who has yet to use fantasy grounds.

Does that mean, they would have access to all the content during the campaign session. But be excluded from the content in times other than that? Which is fine for me as long as the content is available for them to view during the sessions.

If you hold an Ultimate License (subscription or otherwise) then you are the GM and your Players can connect to you via the Demo/Free version (or a Full or an Ultimate License).

There is no difference between the Steam version and the version of FG available on the FG Store - the Steam version is simply a "wrap-around" for the regular version.

If you purchase Content Paks, then the Players who are connected to you will have access to which ever Paks you give them permission to use - but only while they are connected to you. If the Players wish to use Paks while they are not connected to you then they will need to purchase their own Paks. This is true no matter which License Combination you and the Players are using.

As an aside, you can find a great deal of info/help using the various Tutorial Videos available on the FG Wiki - damns' are good, as are Xorn's, and people seem to like mine as well (mine are also available from the links in my sig, below). Start with the ones on the CoreRPG, because the CoreRPG forms the basis/foundations of all/most of the RPGs we play with FG - by learning how to use FG with the CoreRPG you'll learn 80% of everything you need to know to run any RPG with FG.

Cheers
