Hi folks, with the sale happening I am curious what you consider the essential modules to buy from the marketplace. I am personally looking for system agnostic or modules compatible with D&D 5.5e, but I am curious nonetheless. The marketplace doesn't seemingly allow you to sort by rating or view stars without clicking into each module (unless I am missing something). Thanks for any guidance you can provide!

Edit: I did try really hard to look into this, and the last similar question/discussion I could find was from one year ago, so my apologies in advance if this question is far more common than I could uncover!

Hello everyone I am currently struggling with finding a hosting service that is fast and reliable. Recently I've become a full time DM/GM and run about 37 game sessions a month before any dreaded cancelations.

I used to use Forge VTT when I started running games casually but left after a string of server issues a few years ago it always seemed that when I went to run my session their servers were down. Anyway I went beack to forge for a few games recently mostly PF2E but keep getting API errors when attempting to upload images,music, really anything and i'm not quite sure why I've troubleshot all I can thing of.

My main source of hosting has been through Playit.gg but as of late my players have been having an incredibly difficult time loading into my games even swapping maps takes 5-10 mins if it decides to load and doesnt just show a black/grey screen.

I cant do full on self hosting so I was wondering what some VTTs you all use for foundry, if there is one that you prefer over the others, and if you have any recommendations as to how I can make playing my games smoother and quicker for my players.

Also in case anyone needs to know to help I'm currently running most of my games with V14 of Foundry! Thank you all in advance for any and all guidance/suggestions.

[D&D5e] I have a character in dnd5e with split identities, and want to create a gm script that will swap his character stats, abilities and subclass, but will keep inventory / hp synced, any idea how this could be achieved?

[D&D5e] So many dislike Ai. I get it. I've been coding and employing coders for 25+ years. I've looked though. A lot of code over the years how are you making the determination that a module was AI.

I get the code is slop. Thats a poor answer. I've had a lot of coders work for me and their code was slop too .

I do appreciate th concept that the module provider needs to be able to know / debug and fix their code.

Not looking for hate or battle Ai bad/AI good.

How are all these experts on this forum determining what is AI code short of the art work was Ai

Pazindor's GM Tools is a free module that adds many functionalities that are intended to make a GM's life easier. It includes the ability to send Roll Requests, apply effects to tokens, a GM Screen, and a Progress Tracker. Watch the video presentation to learn more.

The module is configured to support DND5e and PF2e It also has several system-agnostic features and provides ways for developers to configure support for other systems.

[D&D5e]I am trying to make a character token for one of my players who's character is completely blind and only has blind sight instead of normal sight, however the blindsight option appears to only show other tokens on the map, not objects and walls, is it possible to change that? I also wanted to try and remove the light perception for the token and just give them see everything within their vision range, but I couldn't find an option to turn off light perception either.

Hello,

Self hosted on Oracle for a few years and recently switched to Forge hosting, because updating foundry through text commands was the bane of my existence. Anyway, one of my players has mentioned that the FPS on the Foundry screen keeps dropping and never gets above 25. Unfortunately, I don't know if this was an issue in oracle, because the feature wasn't there.

I suspect that this is an issue with animations (Automated Animations, PF2E Animation Macros, JB2A - Animation assets). I didn't use these modules with Oracle because updating main foundry was a pain, but wanted to use them to give a better representation for my players. Is there any thing that I can change to improve the performance besides removing these and seeing if the situation improves. I am also open to other animation modules that would replace these if they work better.

Thank you

It was working just fine right before session then near the end it just stopped working period. I can’t draw walls at all. Anyone know how to fix this? I already checked it isn’t a buggy module cause I disabled all of them and it still wasn’t working.

Hi All, I'm looking to use Foundry for my next D&D campaign, and before I take the dive and buy a license (and the modules, and add-ons, and other expenses, lol), is there any way to test if my internet would meet the criteria to host? Is there a free trial version I could play with to make sure it meets my needs as a DM. I've used Foundry as a player and I like the functionality, but don't know much about it from the DM side.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks.

Last night we started our first campaign in Foundry. It took a good 40 minutes for everyone to be have working video/audio (not intuitive at all, I might add). I host on The Forge so lag and all that is not an issue (I presume). The audio and video was glitchy throughout and one person just could not hear in sync to a point where he just quit. Do others have similar issues? Is there a silver bullet to get great audio/video? We are thinking about just resorting to Google Meet. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hello there 😊

I'm running an Edge of the Empire Beginner Game with Foundry. Due to all the modules I'm using, my modules folder is 1.64gb, whereas my assets folder remains smaller than 50mb.

I was looking to put this on the cloud so I can edit and add to my world from anywhere, and to have a backup in case something happens to my PC.

I have been looking at the membership tiers on Forge, and the storage limits seem restrictive. It's 5gb for assets and 500mb for modules. I would just expect it to be 5gb total. So I would need to get the highest tier, which feels overpriced for this kind of data limit.

Can anyone suggest a reasonable solution for this? Or is the information on the forge site misleading?

Thanks 🙂

Update: Thank you for the suggestions. I really appreciate it. I'll be looking at some of those alternatives.

Hi, so i'm planning on moving my games to Molten Hosting from Forge but I can't figure out how to move my worlds and modules over. I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to help out. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

Has anyone run lady Blackbird on Foundry? How did you guys implement the system? I'm not really sure how to get started. A Google search Says I'd have to build it from the ground up. Any tips or hints or generic systems or something like that that were used? I'm thinking maybe PDF pager module to bring in PDF as a character sheet?

Hi, I am new to Foundry (Version 13, 351).
I found out that players cann cross the border of the map and they can see the grey border and walking on them. Someone told me make walls, but really for every map drawing walls looks like a pain.

Someone told me also you can adjust the padding percentage to 0, but the grey border will be gone, (and also someone told me) where you can drag your stuff out of map for current session to work around.

So my question is, how to normaly fix it that players wont go off the map?

Hello friends. I’m looking at DMing for the first time and I think I want to use Foundry as it seems pretty awesome. I’m going to be running the heroes of the borderlands campaign and I’m curious what folks recommend in general for running d&d and official campaigns like borderlands. Should I buy the foundry module for the starter kit? Buy the d&d beyond version and import it? Some other option?

I’m asking this question mostly as a proxy for developing a long term plan for how I approach this. I’m also very open and interested for an and all general advice, modules,etc for running 5.5e in foundry

Hi! Is there a way to change the rotation centre-point for a tile? I'm open to doing it programmatically; I foresee needing to write a macro that can turn it left around a spot on the left edge, or right around a spot on the right edge. This is for a vehicle tile.

Thanks!
