New to D&D and Fantasy Grounds

[Surth]

Hey guys as per Title,

Me and some mates want to start D&D and we lucked out on the starter set.
So i found this on steam and downloaded Fantasy grounds and Lost Mine of Phandelver.

What else do i need to pick up to get this going because i cant seem to get the mission up and going.

Like i said really fresh to this and D&D and i hope i posted this on the write page.

:)

Assuming that you have purchased the standard licence or above, you will need to then start a campaign with the 5e ruleset. Once you are into the tabletop, then you need to activate the Lost Mine of Phandelver module by opening the library, clicking on the module button and opening the book. It will then be visible in your library.

Here (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/filelibrary/FantasyGroundsUserManual.pdf) is a link to the Fantasy Grounds manual to get you started.

Hey Surth, welcome to FG and the community!

So, did you get the standard or ultimate license? Have you checked out the User Manual (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/filelibrary/FantasyGroundsUserManual.pdf)? Also their are the User Guides (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/User_Guides) on the Wiki to check out. Do you have FG up and running and just need help getting started or...?

Hi Surth, and Welcome! to the Community,

If you and your friends haven't done so already, let me encourage you all 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

Hey Surth - what timezone are you in?
There are some great videos that will help get you started. I might also be able to spare a half hour to give you a quick run thru and answer any questions.
