Sooooo much to learn! It feels like there is a lot more to Fantasy Grounds than there is to Roll20. I'm not complaining, just figuring out where to start, lol.

Start with the basics
Character sheets, maps, NPCs and the combat tracker. Then start using targeting, and after that stories and links, effects, encounters, parcels, quests, the party sheet and campaign options. Later on, custom data as needed (items, classes, spells, npcs etc). And then extensions.

I am still learning this is a really deep rabbit hole of fun stuff. IMO Take the Character 101 class from FantasyGroundsCollege.net. Then take DM 101 then DM 102. Once you have done that you should have a good idea of what Fantasy Grounds is all about. Plus you will have no money invested. If you like it then you kind of have 3 paths.
1 Start watching all of the great teaching content on youtube.
or
2 Join an online game like what FantasyGroundsCollege.net is running this coming weekend. I know you can not get a DM 101 and 101 before this weekend but if you think this is for you this might not be a bad idea to get into a game.
or
3 Try running a game with the free download. You will not be able to get your friends to connect but you can see how combat works and how Combat tracker and most things work.
you will need this

The new 5E Character Wizard is in classic now so make sure you update to get it. It could make creating your characters easier.

The down side to flipping to Fantasy Grounds is you will need to invest in buying the books and stuff you want inside of Fantasy Grounds. There is tons of stuff. Where https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store/ has lots of good stuff it does not have the addons. Some are free and you can find them on these forums. Others are sold on https://www.dmsguild.com/ which seem to have the largest selection. You can also find other online stores that have mods and I do not think there is a central place that list all of the sites out there that have stuff.
I hope this helps and does not over whelm you.

Because I'm sure you're all interested, there has been much progress. I've added NPCs and monsters, maps, encounters, and handouts. I've created a magic item, and explored the Fantasy Grounds College site.
There's discussion of grabbing a one-month subscription and testing out the combat and stability of the connection. There's a definite learning curve here, but there's a *lot* that I like.
