Completely NEW

[Dboxdogg]

Hey everybody, I'm completely new to FantasyGrounds as well as DnD. I've always wanted to learn. I'm a big believer in DnD being the ultimate RPG experience. If anyone has a game to join or is willing to show me the way I would really appreciate it. Message me or let me know. Also if I've posted in the incorrect forum my bad as I have stated I'm completely new to the community.

Hey welcome!

Well, I think you'll find that you picked a great community to jump in and become a part of.

A couple of places to check out first, imo, FG College, totally free, totally friendly; https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?40020-Join-Fantasy-Grounds-College-Learn-Fantasy-Grounds-learn-D-amp-D-and-then-play!

There is also a official FG Discord server; https://discord.gg/VKbhkSt

There is a sub-forum here for games, you can take a look around there and see if any fit what interests you; https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?76-Game-Organization

Once you take a look around a bit more, let us know what other questions you have :)

Hi Dboxdogg, 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 (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?31369-DOE-Sound-Extension), DOE: Locations (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?20794-DOE-Locations-Extension), DOE: Weather (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?22142-DOE-Weather-Extension) and DOE: Organisations (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?27169-DOE-Organisations-Extension) Extensions (to name a but a few - and a Shameless™ Self Plug).

You may also want to drop into the FG College (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?40020-Join-Fantasy-Grounds-College-Learn-Fantasy-Grounds-learn-D-amp-D-and-then-play!); a great place for newcomers to get started.

And of course, there's plenty of Twitch Channels where you can watch games in progress (including my own - https://www.twitch.tv/dulux_oz - another Shameless™ Self Plug).

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

Oh, and for the record: there are way more Role-Playing Games then just 5E D&D. Check out some of the others as well - you'll be pleasantly surprised (the advice of a 40-year veteran RPGer :) )

Cheers
