Brand new to the experience of table top games. Brand new to the software, I want to find out how to play, and how to use the software.

Welcome Bloodbound121. There is a lot to learn. The best way is to watch a couple of videos, have a little test run and then join a game - either a one shot or something longer. Look out for all games being advertised and apply on them and visit the site regularly. Have fun.

Hi BB, and Welcome! to the Community,

As damned has said, its best to start out with some Tutorial Vides - If you haven't done so already, let me encourage you to take a look at some of the great Tutorial Videos available on the Fantasy Grounds Wiki (and on YouTube). Damn's 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 foundation of just about all the RPGs we play with Fantasy Grounds - so by learning how to use FG with the CoreRPG you'll learn about 80% of what you'll need to know to play any RPG with Fantasy Grounds. Once you've gone through the CoreRPG Videos you can then go on to Videos about your chosen RPG.

When you get familiar with the basic Fantasy Grounds product the next step is to check out some of the Extensions (Plug-Ins) for FG, such as the DOE: Sound, DOE: Locations, DOE: Weather and DOE: Organisations Extensions (to name a but a few).

And keep on asking questions - we're a pretty friendly lot here, and we love answering questions.

Cheers

You might find a game here (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?35571-FGDaze!-Saturday-January-7th-2017) which will give you a good insight into how it all works.

I'm looking at starting up a new campaign next month, most likely some variety of Savage Worlds. Probably either Rippers or Achtung Cthulhu for the setting. If you're interested in systems other than D&D, I'll let you know when I have it figured out.
