Combat Groups Extension Review

In this video, we will look at the Combat Groups Extension from Silent Ruin and Grim Press. This extension is incredibly useful for managing multiple combat encounters during your session by allowing you to preload NPC groups onto the combat tracker and hide them until needed. It is much easier to understand once you see it, so check it out.

Welcome to The Virtual DM, and thanks for watching. If you are a DM looking to get better at running D&D 5e on the Fantasy Grounds Unity virtual tabletop (VTT), you have come to the right place.

If you have any questions about this video, please leave a comment or contact me using the information available at the end of this page. I would love to hear from you.
