Wednesday, May 5, 2021

The volunteer community at the Fantasy Grounds College is hosting classes with a Starfinder ruleset focus for the month of May.

What is Fantasy Grounds and why is there a “college,” you ask? Well first, Fantasy Grounds is a popular virtual tabletop (VTT) software used to host and play games over the internet. The robust software creates a virtual tabletop roleplaying experience with rollable dice, character sheets, a digital book library, and tools you would expect at your physical game table. What’s more is that it offers unique gaming experiences such as automated combat trackers, GM management tools to simplify distribution of experience and loot, digital battle maps and tokens for tactical play, and much more!

That brings us to the question: why a “college”? The Fantasy Grounds College (FGC) is a group of volunteers who are passionate about VTTs and want to help create player connections for tabletop roleplayers, no matter where they are in the world or the circumstances they find themselves in that prevent physical gaming. Founder Laerun’s vision for the FGC has been, and remains, a commitment to offer classes free of charge and deliver valuable learning outcomes for students who wish to take full advantage of what the Fantasy Grounds software provides. Classes are given for all experience levels, and for players and Game Masters alike!
