Hey everyone,

I'm trying to make a digital map screen out of a tv and wood case to use with Fantasy Grounds. However, I use Fantasy Grounds to plan out my games and for information (like the story tab), which is why I can't simply mirror it. Is there anyway to put the battlemap on the other monitor and use the program without my players seeing the information I would be currently using? I am using a MacBook Air by the way. Thanks!

Welcome!
Start a second instance of FG. Put the GM/host one in your GM screen and the second instance (which is a player instance) in your digital table top monitor.

Hey, this worked great! Thanks for the speedy response! I'm pretty new to Fantasy Grounds and GM'ing as a whole so I really appreciate it!
