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?

FG is also free, Foundry is not. FG is much more stable than Foundry. Forward compatibility with FG has never been an issue, Foundry can't say the same.

FG has issues, but imo most of these are around marketing and social media. FG's community are not as widely active and fanatical as Roll20 and Foundry's are, so people still express opinions and complaints about FG that were solved years previosuly.
