Mildly experienced player looking for first time on fantasy grounds

[crazydave1066]

I have played D&D 5e a few times but have never finished a campaign. I have never played on fantasy grounds so I will look into how to use it. If you’re looking for a player who at least has an idea of what they’re doing, let me know! Thanks!

Hi crazydave1066, and Welcome! to the Community,

Some advice? Keep an eye on the LFG (Looking For Group) Threads and jump in quick if you spot something that interests you.

Also, there are more than just 5th Ed D&D being played (I myself run a Star Frontiers Campagain (Sci-Fi Space Opera) and a Deadlands Classic Saga (Horror Western) - if you expand your horizons in terms of games-systems you'll be more likely to find a game.

And a final piece of advice - 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.

Cheers

Welcome crazydave1066,

Something you may want to do is add your available days/times and time zone you are in for prospective GM's to get an idea if you might fit their schedules.

Thanks guys! I am available pretty much any day and any time for the next couple weeks. I am on eastern time US. I am willing to play pretty much any game but I would prefer to play D&D 5e. Let me know if you’re looking for someone like me!

He is not kidding about jumping in quick, when I did one post about my game I am now DMing, I had the slots filled in a day
