Is is possible to use Fantasy Grounds at a real table game? If I wanted people to roll their own dice, and use FG to record items, scores, hit points etc?

Welcome "adamnfinecupofcoffee"
YES, it is possible from ver. 3.2.0 we got in FG this great and new manual roll option :o
Just "enable" it in Options (cog wheel upper right corner) - Dice: Manual entry On/OFF
It create small button "Roll" at the top left corner of chat, click on this Roll button then enter manually rolled value, and accept it.

There is not much better than adamnfinecupofcoffee! Welcome aboard. As to the question I used 4e turn tracker as a dm gaming aid for table topping. Then 5th came along and I tested several tool and programs and fantasy grounds was the winner for my table top tool. It keeps the rules and you can focus on the story. I now love both online and in person.

This extension can help if you plan to use maps and minis displayed on a TV/projected image of FG: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?33834-Map-resize-to-TV-resolution-for-Face-To-Face-games
