Hey,

I was wondering if Fantasy grounds is good for presenting battlemaps on a digital game table (Which I will provide a pic of later in this post).

I need Fantasy Grounds to:
-- Present High definition Battlemaps
-- Use spell template overlays to see if a certain spell would be placed like the player wants it to be
-- present GIF animations

Is this something that Fantasy grounds could do?

Do you offer an offline version of Fantasy grounds for this purpose?

You can get some idea from the post linked below how you can use FG at the tabletop. There is an extension which allows several map layers and along with a token pack available in the DMs guild will allow you to place spell templates for various spells. GIF animations isn't something that FG can handle.

Standard Fantasy Grounds stores all of it's data on your local hard drive - it is not a cloud based solution. So you're fine using it offline for face-to-face games.
