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!

Are you ready to write the prequel to Baldur's Gate 3? Look no further. Welcome to Elturel, a city once ruled by a vampires undead army. But then the Companion appeared in the sky over the city. A godly orb of sunlight. It burnt out the undead, and now constantly basks the city in sunlight. Our players arrive in the city the same day as a diplomatic envoy from Baldur's Gate. During this time the party was hired to deal with rumors about the cult of the dragon. Evil Tiamat worshippers up to no good. Little do they know about the chaos and destruction Elturel will soon face. Which will lead them on a path of epic adventure. In the first layer of hell.
This campaign will start in Elturel of the forgotten realms setting. Players will travel the region to Baldur's Gate, Candle Keep, and Avernus the first layer of hell. This is a custom version with a new start and other new and interesting adventures along the way. No knowledge of anything is necessary.
This is for players who want a gritty high fantasy campaign with epic combat, possible character death, and laughs to go along. Not a romance adventure. Best example, hell boy meets mad max.
Campaign Detail:
Recruitment: Send me a pdf or link to your character. I will have it ready in fantasy grounds prior to first session. Standard array or point buy, 2024 backgrounds which come with a feat, and heritage bonus level 1 hp (5 for human and 4 for all other races)
Level: New D&D 5e 2024 rules currently level 3.
Platforms: (Discord and fantasy ground unity) (syrinscape: optional for sound immersion), I have an ultimate account and all the books which you can use for free. I have tons of bonus mods and custom maps. Personal voice acting, with voice changers. I homebrew the campaign to make the players feel integrated into it.

So, I'm running an encounter with a Sploog and I know about the Automatic Forcefield of the Sploog. Its a Barrier spell. Normal barrier is treated like an object, which has to be targetted to destroyed. Is the same true for this Barrier, or does it just go down after it subtracts 20 for its hardness? Does Fantasy Grounds automatically calculate this? Does the 20 damage have to be done in one attack or can it be done over multiple attacks?
Hi folks!
At Arkenforge, we're big fans of Fantasy Grounds. We were the first platform to support FGU map image exports with XML, and we now allow the same with WebM! That means that you can create fully animated maps, and bring them into FGU with lights and barriers, including doors + windows!
Our Arkenforge Toolkit software is designed to build high quality 2D animated maps for any platform. If you've been wanting to create your own animated maps for your Fantasy Grounds games, Arkenforge is the tool for you!

I updated to the latest FG version today, but found the mask layer on the DM view no longer has the blue border on the un-masked area - which makes it hard to see what is masked/un-masked without having to click "player vision preview" each time. This is very annoying
I cannot find a way to re-add this from google
Does anyone know how to add this?
We are level 3 with an orc bard, a goliath paladin, and a human wizard. The campaign takes place in the Forgotten Realms, specifically the region surrounding the city of Waterdeep in the Sword Coast. Dm me for more questions

Is it possible for players to connect to a game via a browser so that they do not have to download anything? If so please help me figure out what I need to do. I've been away from the format for a while - for personal reasons- and trying to get back to DMing online. I have always liked FG but found it hard to get players involved and thought a browser system would be great. I just learnt that this might be a thing so I'm looking for info and hints and help. Thanks
I've developed and play tested the base game I've developed using the original vanilla version of FG. I have some time off work for a bit and would like to develop it further. However, these are the snags that need ironed out.
Im not a coder or programmer so I find it difficult to find time to learn. And the forum is difficult to find exactly what I'm looking for. Hopefully someone can narrow down these searches for me and point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance
My group has been using FGVTT for a few years. I started GM-ing for the first time last night. So much stuff went wrong!
Sharing books didn't work - I drag and dropped from my BOOKS to the character icon but they didn't reliably gain access
Every time I tried to prep an encounter map, the act of setting up the image was fine, but then converting it/uploading it (whatever that is) would crash my system. I am running Ubuntu 22.10
One user couldn't connect until he plugged an external monitor in.
Every time I crashed by prepping a map, it seemed like there were updates, and some users were unable to connect without updating. There were too many updates, it didn't seem right.
So - what am I doing wrong, please help me!

I'm a bit confused on the rain effect in Fantasy Grounds. I'm unsure if this is normal or not but when I add rain effects to any image I get these dots moving in the same direction and they do it regardless of which direction I change the rain. It seems that I can still see rain effects on it. I had one of my players login to test on their screen and they saw the same thing.
I'm just wondering if this is normal. I've been racking my brain trying to figure it out but thought I would ask instead.
So, I am joining my first FG game, however in the preparation I could join the game but not view anything the GM uploaded.
This is definitely a problem on my side since it works fine for all other players. The GM told me she had had players who had the exact same ISP as me and had the same problem. She said they've tried a lot such as disabling firewall but it never did end up working.
Anybody have an idea what I could do regarding the ISP?
(btw I do not have access to the login data of the router or ISP settings, since I do not own them. Getting them is not impossible but might proof tricky, especially since I'll probably have to tamper with some safety features)
I have tried to google and find ways, butso far I have not managed to find solution.
So, I want to make labyrinth for the players. In current version, when they move their token on the map and reveal rooms, all the visited or discovered rooms fade to blurry gray, but they remain visible for players. I know I could constantly make global masks and hide areas, but is there better way to make map they are no longer in dissappear?
Hey folks, I had been on Roll20 for a while and was kinda stuck there from having bought a bunch of the books there and being stuck with the whole sunk cost thing. Having decided that with the new books coming through it is time to review where I get them I have decided on balance that now is a good time to move to FG.
I spent a while with the demo and whilst it took a while to figure out the basics, I figure I can probably do most of what I need to about as quick as I could in Roll20 and what I can't do yet I can learn - but I do have a few questions, primarily around modules or addons for rulesets.
1 - Fantasy Grounds does have a good library of modules in 5e compatible stuff, but there are a quite a few things it doesn't have. How easy is it to add items/monsters/spells/feats etc to the compendium if you wanted to copy stuff over from a book or pdf?
2 - Rulesets/charactersheets from the forge - A few of the games I am interested in running don't have an official ruleset on FG, but do have a community one in the Forge (mainly looking at WFRP 4e and LotR:TOR here) - whilst there will be variation down to whoever built/maintains it, how well do these tend to play?
3 - I have seen a few posts related to the CoreRPG and Ruleset Wizard etc, how easy/hard do people consider it to be to set up new character sheets and rulesets for games not available already in the store of Forge (for reference, I work in tech, know XML, don't know C# but can probably learn if needed)
I think that covers it for now, but year, looking forward to moving over.
Can't seem to find a way to do this.

I rolled a new char and all my spells are just jumbled in a long list sorted alphabetically.
My old character had a very useful interface showing level of spells. i think the image speaks for itself:

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 11, 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
EDIT: Good news, I think I found the solution to my problem.
Long story short, my PC has two graphics processors, one that uses NVIDIA and one that doesn't. I've set FG and the updater to use the integrated processor, that is, the one that isn't using NVIDIA. That seemed to fix Fantasy Grounds on my end.
The settings to do this for a specific app are under System > Display > Graphics. If fantasy grounds isn't there, you might have to find the executable file itself in your computer's folders, which should probably be somewhere around here:
C:\Program Files\SmiteWorks\Fantasy Grounds
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

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?
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.
