How you join a game depends upon how your GM chose to set up the game. Please pick the method below which corresponds to this choice.
Game Password
If your GM assigned a password to the campaign, then you will need to enter this when prompted. Please note that this is not the same as the password you use to log onto the forums or our storefront. That password should never be shared.

Video Tutorial
Public Cloud Game
Launch Fantasy Grounds and click on Join Campaign
Find the GM Name and Campaign Name in the list and click on that. Then click on Start
Your Fantasy Grounds system will download all necessary files for you to play in the game. You don’t need to own the ruleset, adventure module or anything further.
Private Cloud Game
Launch Fantasy Grounds and click Join Game
Enter the GM Name (the GM’s username on the Fantasy Grounds forums) and click Start
Local Private Game (LAN Game)
Enter the IP address that your GM provides to you. They should provide you with their External IP address and the port number. The port number defaults to 1802.
Local Private games operate much like Fantasy Grounds Classic. Your GM will need to port forward TCP port 1802 from their router to their PC. Players should not need to do any configuration of their router or Internet service other than allow Fantasy Grounds through their local firewall when prompted.
