A few questions from newcomer to RPG'S and Fantasy Grounds.
Hello everyone, I am very pleased to meet you.
I recently got into the Mansions of Madness board game and the whole Arkham, Cthulhu scene.
I am really enjoying learning about the lore and reading novels, both the original Cthulhu and the Arkham Horror novels.
I am now wanting to dig a little deeper and noticed FGU has modules for not only Call of Cthulhu but also Vampire the Masquerade, which I would love to try
Now for a few questions.
Are there any game systems that are based on the Victorian period, especially anything to do with occult sects?
A Penny Dreadful type game would be amazing
What content do you get with the standard license?
Will I be able to edit my characters etc while not connected to the GM?
If I purchased the Cthulhu modules could I practice making my own maps, character sheets, and scenarios, etc?
Many thanks

Welcome
Yes, "Call of Cthulhu" is a game system, or what we call a ruleset. There are numerous editions (versions) of the rules. I believe the most current is 7th.
What content do you get with the standard license?
You do get System Reference Documents for the games that have them, and with D&D you get the Basic Rules. See the section on Data Libraries on teh "See Details" link on the store page underneath the license types.

Many thanks for the reply sir.
The collage looks really interesting Just the simple coat of arms and the well drawn images for the class resource etc, it already has good vibes
Does the collage have a motto?
Just had a quick nose and is crammed full of information.

Welcome
You might also want to look at D&D Ravenloft for the gothic vibe. In 5th edition it would be Curse of Strahd. Earlier editions had much more to the domains of dread hopefully WOTC will be expanding the realms in the 5th edition.If you want a Wishlist in the Fantasy grounds store klick the link and upvote it.

Concerning the Penny Dreadful type, I would recommend 'Rippers resurrected' which is a setting for the ruleset 'Savage Worlds'

Many thanks, chaps, very much appreciated
I will check it out.
After doing some investigation, I have also found a few rule systems that look very interesting.
Leagues of Adventure is a late Victorian steampunk, low magic setting. Reading through the info, it has modules that introduce, arcane cults, black magic, and dark secrets
This sounds amazing

And then there is Through the Breach RPG. Based on the Malifaux universe this also sounds wonderful
I have never played Malifaux but I have always wanted to and know quite a bit about the universe.

I wonder if anyone runs these systems via FGU?
I shall ask in LFG
