Learn How to Use Fantasy Grounds

I often see folks frustrated when they are trying to learn how to use Fantasy Grounds.  I get it.  I really do.  Fantasy Grounds does have a steep learning curve, BUT… I am fairly sure that most of these folks did not use all of the available resources to help them over this curve.  With that in mind, here are some great resources to help you learn how to use Fantasy Grounds.

Fantasy Grounds Tutorials

I think that the easiest way to learn Fantasy Ground is to watch some of the fantastic tutorial videos that are available and there are LOTS of them.  Here are my top recommendations.

  • Fantasy Grounds DM Series with Mattekure
  • Fantasy Grounds Classic Tutorials for Beginners with The Digital DM
  • Fantasy Grounds on YouTube
  • Fantasy Grounds College on YouTube

Fantasy Grounds User Manual, Wiki, and Forum

After you have watched the great videos above, you aren’t likely to remember it all, and they may not have answered all of your questions.  Your next set of resources are a user manual, the official wiki, and the official forum.  I personally still use the wiki and the forum on a regular basis.

  • Fantasy Grounds User Manual
  • Fantasy Grounds Wiki
  • Fantasy Grounds Forum

A quick word on the forum before moving on.  There are some amazing folks that moderate this forum, and they are SO, SO, SO helpful.  If you get stuck, don’t get frustrated.  Jump into the Fantasy Grounds forum, and you will get the help you need.

Other Great Fantasy Grounds Learning Resources

If you are still looking for more after all of that, here are a few more great places to look.

  • Fantasy Grounds College
  • Fantasy Grounds on Discord
  • Fantasy Grounds College on Discord
  • Guides, Videos, and Other Helpful Information from Fantasy Grounds Forum
  • Fantasy Grounds DM Series with Mattekure (Additional Links)

This is by no means an exhaustive list.  There is lots more information out there to help you to learn how to use Fantasy Grounds.  If you take the time to watch the videos and use the resources, I am sure that you will be a Fantasy Grounds expert in no time.  It does take time, but it will be time well spent in the long run.  Happy gaming!!

Note:  Lots of these resources are for Fantasy Grounds Classic (FGC) not Fantasy Grounds Unity (FGU).  The vast majority of FGC and FGU works the same, so they are all still valuable resources to learn from.

Do you have a great resource to help folks learn how to use Fantasy Grounds? Let me know in the comments.  Thanks for reading.
