My group unanimously chose to leave Fantasy Grounds after about half a dozen sessions, and it wasn’t because of the price. Too many usability problems. Too many surprising, unexplained behaviors. Too much of our gaming time was consumed by troubleshooting and wrangling the software.
We moved to Foundry VTT, and haven’t looked back. It’s not free, but a license is reasonably priced, paid only once, covers an entire gaming group (or several groups if they don’t play at the same time), and includes new releases forever.
Here are some free virtual tabletops. These are comparatively minimal, but might be good enough if your needs are modest, or if your group can’t afford a 50 USD Foundry license.
