How do I ????? in Unity

[Urheil]

Does anyone have any suggestions on videos that show how to GM in FGU from start to finish throughout a session? I have a friend with 0 familiarity that wishes to learn. I'm sure it would have to be a few videos long.
Thanks for any replies

Imho, If your friend has experience dming, he should Start asking questions in the forum as You had.
If he doesn't, he should SEE some YouTube videos regarding dming.

Quite a few different people have put together good video series on DMing and other aspects. I can't recommend one over another, as people learn differently, and different video creators present things differently. Though I will link a few resources below, it's best to find a presenter you like and connect with, and go through their videos. Or if your friend doesn't learn well from videos, use the user manual, or the wiki, or the forums

Thanks Urheil, That was exactly my question, not all videos are created equal. There are a ton of videos out there and many are short on info. I thought I would see what the experts might say about a possible video series. He's not sure whether he'll use FGU and wanted to see the complexity in setting up a game before buying in.
Thanks again

FG is very powerful, and has the complexity that often goes along with powerful programs. Let your friend know that he should not attempt to understand everything FG can do before he starts. Learn the basics. Learn what you will use. Then learn more as you need it or something sparks your interest. After 7 years I don't know everything FG can do, because I don't need to for it to be a great tool for me.

Think of it like Excel or Word, even though you might use them everyday for great benefit, do the majority of users every learn things like pivot tables, macros, and mail merges?

Thanks LordEntrails,
I'll pass these on and see what he thinks, maybe we can get a new user out of it. My teaching skills leave a lot to be desired and he's not local to my location. I'm sure that he'll need to just play with it like the rest of us, but he was entertaining it as a spectator sport first.
Thanks again

Four new videos added on managing campaigns. Links in the first post.

Did we ever get an effects addressable way to add or subtract from MAX HP in 5e (or any ruleset)? There was a poll back in 2018 but didn't find a resolution or the mechanic (if there is one)
Thanks

No, there's no native way to do it. But I believe there's a couple of extensions on the Forge the do that.

I was hoping you wouldn't say that
