How do I create a player character? I have the one time license and the players handbook?

This wiki article shows you how (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/5E_Character_Sheet#Building_a_Character_With_Offic ial_D.26D_Class_Packs) in detail. Digital Dave just did a video yesterday but I don't have a link to that yet.

Dave doesn't have the video up on YouTube yet... I just checked.

When he does, it will show up here:

I'm still lost, where are the character sheets? The wiki wasn't clear on this.

Let's start from the beginning;
- Launch FG
- Create New Campaign, select 5E D&D
- Load your resources
- - Library > Module
- - - Select the sources you want to use to make the character, such as Players Handbook or 5E Basic Rules, load them
- Click on the PC icon on the right bar
- Click the edit icon
- Click the green plus to create a new character

Does that get you to the wiki entry for you?

There are a few videos in the Wiki. This one goes through the character creation process starting from the FG launch screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nurEMR4JJeUCreating

Personally, I'd recomend to join Discord server Fantasy Grounds College (https://discord.gg/Ew6nYyw) and take (or watch) class.

The FG User Manual also has a good rundown. The manual can be found on the HELP menu of the main FG site but here's a direct link.

The walkthrough starts on pg 53.
