Having set up a Foundry Virtual Table Top (VTT) (locally, on your own server, or on one of the cloud services) you, the Game/Dungeon Master (GM), are confronted with the task of setting up your VTT. In a series of articles we will step through setting up Foundry VTT for Dungeons & Dragons 5e (although a lot of this material will apply no matter your chosen game system).

In this first installment we look at:

• Installing the game system (this is essentially the 'DM Guide' and 'Players Handbook' for FVTT)
• Create an empty world
• A lightning fast tour of the standard interface
• Add Users/Players
• Create an empty Scene
• Create Actors (player characters) and let Players access them
• Create Tokens to represent Actors on our Scenes
