Fantasy Grounds is a virtual tabletop (VTT) application that simulates a traditional tabletop experience on your computer screen. Players can stop worrying about losing their character sheets as the GM always has it available. Like tactical combat? Fantasy Grounds lets you throw up any image, apply a grid, and drop some tokens in seconds so that you can get to rolling the dice!

FG won't load, only gives me a white screen?

I've been trying to load Fantasy Grounds, but any time I try it doesn't work. Neither FG itself or the updater are working, both opening as a white screen and nothing else. I don't use multiple monitors, and I don't have Duet, which both seem to be a common issue when it comes to this. I've tried Steam's demo and paid version, as well as the directly-downloaded full version of fantasy grounds.

I'm running this on a decently high-end laptop with Windows 10, if that helps.

I don't know what I'm meant to do. Please help!

Here's an image of what I'm getting, in the FG launcher: https://imgur.com/hcsvuzd

Importing NPC from text

I am using ChatGPT to create quick NPCs and I am following this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTfV5ql6DsA

When I go to import the NPC, I only have the format option of 2022 - Monsters of the Multiverse or 2024 rules.

Using the 2022 option, the text seems to import correctly, but I cannot seem to get actions to populate in the NPC record. Does anyone else use ChatGPT to make NPCs? If you don't have an issue importing actions, will you share your template? Thanks

Abomination Vaults

Hello, we are planning to play pf2e abomination vaults with my group, the thing is that idk if we have to also purchase some maps or only the module. Also in case we only need the module, do we need to modify the maps or they are ready to play?

Pushing a map?

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to Fantasy Grounds coming from Roll20 and I'm stuck on how to push a map out to my players. In Roll20 I can move my party's scene by dragging the banner to a new page. Is there something like that in Fantasy Grounds to where I can simply make a map appear for them on their screen?

I have a player that struggles with attention issues and may not really be keen on going from map to map manually so something like this would be a life saver and make things easier as a DM.

rolls, best of, and minimums

Is there a way to do "d6 min 3"?

Or best of two results?

Great Weapon Fighting: When you roll damage for an attack you make with a Melee weapon that has the Two-Handed or Versatile properties, you can treat any 1 or 2 on a damage die as a 3.

Savage Attacker: Once per turn when you hit a target with a weapon, you can roll the weapon’s damage dice twice and use either roll against the target.

Borderless Images Help

Is there a way to remove the big thick line/box at the top of images that houses the title of the image, so that instead the window shows just the image itself?

I know identify is an option, but even when identified/unidentified the title/box is still there.

Thanks!

How is FantasyGrounds when it comes to world building?

I'm currently using Roll20, but want to move away from monthly subscriptions. I believe most people here are familiar with Roll20, but for those who aren't, there, we have something called "Handouts" which are a text document you can attach an image to.

I use handouts to build my world. I know some people think this is over prep, and DMs should only have in hand what their players are going to encounter, but I enjoy, as a side hobby, whenever I have the time, to do a bit of world building. A few NPCs, towns, information on different creatures and species, etc.

I wanted to ask if FG has a similar feature, where I can put an image from whatever I want to describe, and a text description for it. I know most people recommend World Anvil for world building, but, like I said, the point of going from R20 to FG is to do away with monthly subscriptions, so, if FG could do this job as well, it would be really great.

Is there a way to change the Crit/Fumble defaults?

I was looking at the table and was wanting to do something that would allow for the table to auto roll when my players do crits/fumbles. I know there is a built in one but I was wondering if there is a way to make a custom roll automatically?

Accessibility - Help me make the game better for my disabled player

Hi everyone. I bought FGU during the pandemic and used it for a campaign (that I was very thankful for as I was alone abroad). Ive started a new campaign and one of my players (who’s also a friend of mine) has 90% reduction of sight. I don’t know how exactly it manifests but I know she finds it very hard to read smaller fonts and has some difficulty with colors too. So far she used it but even using skills takes her a bit of time, I think combat will be more challenging (she plays a lore bard)

I’d love to make her experience better. I’m open to all ideas and advice, be it using an extension, helping her write actions, or something else.

How do I make an encounter with random number of creatures?

Hello!

I'm making an encounter, but I can't figure out how to make it have a random number of creatures. I drag the monster stat block onto the Encounter but then I only get a list.

DnD 4e to Fantasy Grounds Unity Character Converter

DnD 4e to Fantasy Grounds Unity online character file converter is located here:
Site is here for now.

Hey everyone,

I've been working on a little practice Python project. It converts files from the offline DnD 4e character builder into files you can import into Fantasy Grounds Unity. I was inspired by the Beyond to FG converter.

Right now I just put it here but if people are interested in it, maybe I'll host it somewhere else where I can give it a more custom domain name. I'll update the url if it changes. Not sure how much it'll be used, so aiming for cheap for now if people have hosting suggestions (right now it's free on python anywhere lol).

The site isn't much yet, so just let me know on here or the FG forums if you notice any bugs, data missing from the output XML, etc.

Next up is probably to make an offline tool people can use in case i ever forget to keep this site updated, but hopefully someone else finds a use for this until then.

When did the Paizo and Bundle discounts become either/or and stop stacking?

I noticed during the recent License sale that Paizo owned content and Bundle discounts are now either / or, which ever is larger. When did that change? They used to stack.

Does every player in a campaign need to buy FG to play? (over Steam)

Hey there,

I just stumbled upon FG on steam and I am hugely intrigued. I am thinking about buying it to play my future Pathfinder 1e games with it, since Roll20 has been.... annoying in the past, especially when it comes to home-brew stuff and its macros.

Nows the thing, all my friends I play with are students and financially and technically limited when it comes to resources. That's why we are still on Roll20, because it's 100% free unless you want to buy stuff as the GM. But free for the players.

So here's the question:

If I buy FG on steam, can my players join the game with no extra costs for them? Or does everyone need to buy it on steam, to play with me?

Sorry if this question is kinda dumb. While researching I've found people talking about different listeners, which I can't seem to find on steam. Can someone tell me how this works?

PF2E: need help coding a spell

So, there's one spell from the Firebrands book that one of my players would like to have, Bursting Bloom. https://2e.aonprd.com/Spells.aspx?ID=1280

I'd rather not buy the $40 module for a single spell. And I don't yet trust myself to code this from scratch. Can anyone either give me some tips on the right way to do it so that the spell works properly, or has the Firebrands book and can just show me how that spell is coded?

Thanks for any guidance!

New DM looking to play a Pathfinder 1e one shot in FG, need help setting things up.

Ok so I have been a player with FG for a few years now and would like to try my hand at running a one shot to kinda get the feel for DM'ing and I found a one shot ( The Witchwar Legacy) on Paizo.com and now I have absolutely no idea how to get that set up into FG. I know that there are modules I can buy from FG, but I would like to run this one if I can, but I have no idea where to even begin. Any help and or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Do we really need to have tokens in the tracker just to put them on a map?

I mean, I have a map of a tavern with a bunch of friendly NPCs hanging around. I've got them all as a token on said map.

So on another (battle)map, the PCs are gonna fight a bunch of, say, bandits. Now the combat tracker is full of friendly NPCs from one map, with the PCs and bandits in the mix. A mess, to be sure.

Am I doing something wrong / am I missing something? If not, this is incredibly bad design I hope they do something with ASAP.

My fantasy grounds keeps uninstalling itself

Hello so this is the second time this has occurred. For some reason when i try accessing fantasy grounds it asks if i want to delete this shortcut, and after the shortcut is deleted the whole of fantasy grounds is deleted with it, except the fantasy ground updater.

I tried completely deleting fantasy grounds and reinstalling it but this is the second time the shortcut doesn't work and then forces me to reinstall fantasy grounds.
