FG Newbie LFG

I'm a newish DnD player (two 5e-like Homebrews with friends who helped with most of the in detail stuff for me) and am completely new to Fantasy Grounds. Not looking to DM, just play and learn the ropes. I live on the West Coast (U.S), have a mic, and am happy to voice chat w/ people. Feel free to leave a forum reply or message me if you don't mind helping the new guy on the block.

Hi FP, and Welcome! to the Community,

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

How different is Pathfinder from 5E? The Homebrews we played were practically the latter, and I'd at least like to have a passing understanding of what's going on. Thanks for the reply btw.

Pathfinder is pretty much like 3.5E - in fact, I've heard it refereed to as DnD 3.75E.

Both PF and 5E are good systems, its just that some prefer one over the other.

Me, I like to role-play, so the system doesn't really matter, as long as the story being told is good :)

Cheers

None of the original offers fell through, so figures I'd give this thread a bump.
