Here is a short guide for Installing Fantasy Grounds II on OS X using the free software WineBottler. WineBottler effectively allows you to run Windows applications under Linux and OS X, as the name suggests it is built atop of Wine. It works by creating a wrapped runtime environment that mimics common Windows environments. No licenses including operating system (aside from OS X) are required. WineBottler simplifies Wine setup and allows for individual instances of installations (Bottles) to be created, enabling a great variety of Windows applications to be easily installed, operated and managed. Note: 10.8.x OS X (Mountain Lion) no longer incorporates the X11 package after Apple decided to drop it in favour of the independent X11 project package XQuartz; Due to bugs in the current implementation of XQuartz, OSX 10.8.2 users are advised to use the alternative opensource package WineSkin to run Fantasy Grounds II.

A guide can be found. Note: Not all applications at present will work with WineBottler (mainly.NET based applications are problematic) however Fantasy Grounds II works incredibly well. The easiest way to get the latest WineBottler release installed onto OS X is to use either MacUpdate or directly from the developers website.
