Rookie DM
Learning a bit more about the FG and wondering...
For me to be able to run a few games for the group, what do you suggest I get?
I have FG Full and would I need to pick-up some type of VOIP?

What I did was play in a few games run by Trenloe, madman and a few others to get a good idea of how PFS flows within Fantasy Grounds. That within itself taught me a lot. Besides that, I think the PFS Yahoo group may have a Mumble server that everyone uses. Personally, I have a Ventrillo server that I keep running that I use for this.

FG2PFS group has it's own Ventrillo server as well and at least one of the GMs runs using Mumble.
The Vent server address is: ny2.ugt-servers.com

Awesome!
I'll try to join a few more games and get into the mix with you guys to learn the DM process.
Another question: How do you send people the sheets to know what they're going to buy after they've successfully completed the mission?

For blank chronicle sheets in PDF format. Copy/paste from the chronicle sheet at the back of the PFS scenario PDF into the blank form and then modify appropriately for each PC(character name and PFS #, Faction, XP, Prestige and Gold gained), save and then use a PDF digital signature with a scan of your signature (easy to create within Adobe Reader) and this will lock the PDF. Post the PDFs in your scenario discussion thread you will have created for your game in this forum.Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages. General FG questions should be asked in the forums - don't be afraid, the FG community don't bite and you're giving everyone the chance to respond and learn!

I picked up a free program from download.com that can split up pdf's so I just make the chronicle sheet as its own PDF, sign the bottom Event, #, Date, Sign, GM PFS # and then save it as a base template.
Than I add in the rest of the information and "X" out what they don't get. Don't know why it runs so badly on my pc for filling out form fillable PDFs but that works much easier and faster than using the blank template someone (forget who at the moment) built. And then when its all filled out, then click "Done Signing" and save it to email or transfer using skype.Location: Central Pa (East -5)

Even then, most of the first few sessions were "I want to [insert]... how do I do that?" and I had several players who were experienced in FG and they gave me hints (even if a few of them didn't ultimately stick with my campaign).
People are generally pretty understanding and helpful; just be honest and let your potential players know you're new to using FG and running a game in it."I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind."
