my group is very spread out and we require a virtual tabletop to play together, we all purchased fantasy grounds 2 but there have been some issues that two of the players have experienced and so far we have had little success with help on the FG2 forums, but that isn't the point of this post

basically we need a virtual tabletop to play with until we can fix their issues, or possibly forever if we like it a lot more / issues are never fixed. the players are not willing to pay money at this point, so it has to be a free one.

One thing to take into consideration is ease of use. i would prefer a very user friendly program to one that is very feature heavy and incredibly complex and hard to use. Because i am very new and so are my players, to un-complicate a program i can simply do the majority of it with pen and paper in front of my computer, but i require a program that has tokens and a map (preferably with a masking system like FG2 has, so i can hide parts of the map from the players until they explore)

integrated (text) chat is also a very desired feature, as is a dice roller, and anything else you think is very neccesary to play.

thanks in advance!

Okay so I need some advice to getting into this pathfinder and RPGs like this. Though i hear Pathfinder is the best so i wish to stay with this one.

i have never played a game like this before in my life, ever. Neither has anyone i'm going to play with. I am using the Fantasy Grounds 2 to set up our session. we will be doing the blackfang dungeon thing straight out of the beginner box i was gifted by a friend who knew i was interested in getting started with some of these things (however this friend has no idea how any of them work, no one i know does)

This is like, a new confusing world for me. i managed to get some tokens (which dont match the ones in the game masters guide :c) to represent the goblins, the spiders, the skeletons and blackfang(the black dragon token is very fitting), and i clumsily punched in all the info from the pregen character sheets (the character sheet in FG2 doesnt match the pregen character sheets, im so confused as to if i even did it right) and i have the map set up on FG2 with masking and all that, but thats about it.

i know i messed some stuff up, like my wizard's spells are all in 'special abilities' (that thing to the right of feats) -.-

I have little experience in any of this, i've been messing around for hours, making some project, but the actual thing is going to be so daunting, especially as a first time GM of stuff i've never done, i dont even know the rules that well~

So what advice do you have to give me?

============
TL:DR Version - i got some stuff set up, possibly incorrect, everything is daunting, can i have advice from the veterans about how to do this smoothly?

Thank you all!
