Fantasy Grounds Community Online Virtual Isolation Days gaming!
Welcome to everyone both old and new, FG Classic-ers, or new Unity users!
With the ongoing COVID-19 issues and many having to endure isolation days at home, we'd like to get the community engaged to start running one-off games for anyone who's available and would like to get a game in Fantasy Grounds. Hopefully this will snowball and new contacts and gaming groups will form if people are interested in that, or just get a good old one-off session to get your gaming fix and make you feel a bit less isolated.
What's it about?
The FG Community Online Virtual Isolation Days gaming is all about FG GMs stepping up and running a one-off game for community members, not just their normal gaming groups but people they haven't played with, or have rarely played with, before. Run a one-off 3, 4, 5, 6 or more hour session, think of it kind-of like a convention slot - maybe have pregens ready for the players so you can jump right into gaming, have a short adventure planned and prepared so that you can game and reach a satisfactory conclusion within the estimated time slot, get a group of 2-6 players together and play your game!
This is all going to be pretty disorganized and relies on the GM to post their game (ideally in the LFG -> On Shots forum) and do the required communications to get their group of players together for the agreed upon slot. Then, if using voice, you can use the FG Discord server (or, less ideal, other forms of communication) and your GM instance of FG (Classic or Unity, Standard or Ultimate) to run your game – clearly stating what the requirements for license type, communications, etc. that the players will need to be able to join your game.
I’ve posted an example template below in post #2 to get you started.
NOTE - in the light of this community initiative, and the lack of available free time for key organizers, FG Con 16 will be postponed and will run at a later date.
