Tutorial Video Series

**Zacchaeus** · February 14th, 2018, 12:16

So, following some recent posts about the 'lack' of basic tutorials I've started a series of videos covering the use of Fantasy Grounds. How many and how much detail they go into will depend on available time. The list of videos to date is below

Video One: Getting Started
Video Two: User Interface Part 1
Video Three: User Interface Part 2
Video Four: User Interface Part 3
Video Five: Chatbox
Video Six: Giving players control of NPCs
Video Seven: Creating Random Encounters
Video Eight: How to use point buy in Manage Characters
Video Nine: Changing tokens and names in encounters and using the $PC function in random encounters
Rollable Tables: A short video on how to create and use rollable tables
Exporting to a module: This video looks at how to export your creations to a module.
Creating and using encounters: As the name suggests this video looks at encounter creation.
A video showing you how to use Valeros's Map Align Utility.
Spellcasting NPCs - How to create and edit the spellcasting trait for NPCs

Good video - short and concise.

Thanks!

Great work Zacchaeus short focused videos are the best option I believe.

So Zacchaeus, in your Getting Started video, you reference the video link under Getting Started, and I see now that it has a decent landing page with a pretty good break down of various categories. You or someone that has access to the Wiki, should update it with a link to your channel as well. You have an array of informative tutorials that appear to be more in line with what initial users to Fantasy Grounds are looking for. I would say, add the Digital DM guy as well, but I believe he is working for FG now? And has deprecated his Digital DM channel?

Anyway, a reference to your resources is a definite must. Cheers!

I've added a new video to the list in the first post, showing how to change tokens and names in encounters and also using the $PC function in random encounters.

Added two new videos one on rollable tables and another on exporting to a module. Links in the first post.
