Using Fantasy Grounds as your offline Campaign Manager-intro

I know all the regulars know this but I have had a recent conversation with a couple of newish DMs and they ended up being amazed at what they could do offline with FG, for FREE. Here are the key things that seemed the most mind blowing:

  • the Combat Tracker
  • seriously, the Combat Tracker
  • reskinning NPCs
  • saving those reskinned NPCs as recurring characters
  • editing adventures
  • keeping notes

Is there any other amazing feature for offline game play that I am forgetting?

New Extension: Concentration Tracker

I created a new extension to help myself and my players that were struggling to manage (as a DM and as players) who was concentrating on what, if anything. I admired how BG3 had really clear icons on player portraits to see who was concentrating with a simple (x) UI to cancel concentration. Starting there, I played around with a few ways of doing this in FG and landed on the method you can see in the Forge screenshots:

I'm asking real gold for it so I can get some value back from the effort required to write this thing. Learning the FG API's for extension dev was a lot of work!

Quick and dirty Line of Sight in 46 seconds

I love these official bite sized this is how you do X tutorials.

This one is LoS in Fantasy Grounds in 46 seconds. I might have to bookmark this right next to the Fast Mapping with Image Brushes and the Making Maps with Tiles videos from a couple years ago which were the two most immediately useful tutorials I've seen for FG.
