How to Setup and Use Syrinscape with Fantasy Grounds - Part 2 - Using It

Syrinscape is a leader in the TTRPG sound FX department. Fantasy Grounds is a leader in the Virtual TTRPG department. Being able to use these two incredible products as part of your virtual gaming sessions is great. Being able to use them together is AWESOME.

Thanks to two products created by Mattekure and Rob2e called the Fantasy Grounds Syrinscape Sound Links and the Fantasy Grounds Syrinscape Chat Triggers, you can setup up Fantasy Grounds so that you can trigger sounds in Syrinscape Online Player. Place the triggers in your stories and notes OR have them triggered automatically based on target words that show in the combat tracker. It truly is AWESOME!!
