Initiative Roller/Tracker

Hi everyone. Long time Owlbear Rodeo user. I've been searching for extensions for a few hours now, and I'm not finding what I want. I'm looking for an initiative tracker that also has a "roll initiative" feature for the players. Like, a button you can click that rolls your initiative and adds it to the initiative tracker. This is not for 5th edition D&D (I'm running a 3rd edition D&D game right now, but I just want something generic). If anyone knows of something that does this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Kenku FM not playing in Discord

Hi all, I'm really excited to use Kenku FM, but I can't get it to play any sound on Discord. Works fine using the "This Computer" output, but nothing goes to Discord. I'm using version 1.5.5 on macOS Tahoe 26.2. I've tried deleting the Discord app and recreating it, restarting Kenku FM and Discord, and restarting the computer. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Soundboard+ Is live and free to try

Official release of Soundboard+!!!

Its meant as a bridge from the OBR to KenkuFM (though really any browser can act as the player) to allow you to control audio directly in your OBR window instead of having to switch back and forth.

Create soundboards with all your background music, ambience and sound effects and then create presets, actions or just manually control each sound within OBR. You can read everything in the learn-more page: https://soundboard-plus.missinglinkdev.com/learn-more

Works in two parts, create and manage your files in the webapp, then control in the OBR Extension. Here are the links for both, the manifest.json is to install into OBR

Webapp: https://soundboard-plus.missinglinkdev.com/
OBR Extension: https://soundboard-plus.missinglinkdev.com/ext/manifest.json

Sorry the quick back to back posts, was able to get the last stuff done quicker and release it today. Thought it was going to take a few more days but was storming all day so had a little more free time 😂

Shops in owlbear rodeo

I finished the last big step to bring full item support to GMG like I planned it nearly a year ago. The latest update allows you to setup tokens as shop including a suggestion button that will give you appropriate items for party level and shop type.

Players are then able to buy items or haggle with the DM to get a lower total price. When they have enough money and decide to purchase what they want the items are added directly to their inventory on TA so no more need to manually update statblocks.

I've created a video tutorial that shows how this works. I was a little too fast in the beginning so the text is a bit fast. I was just out of time and wasn't able to redo that part. As with the other specific items functions they are currently only available when using DnD.

You can find the full changelog for this version here.

My next steps are cleaning up, a lot of feature requests have come in over the last few weeks and I will finally be able to work on them and then it's on to version 2 of TA and version 4 of GMG. 

If you have any questions or feedback to the item/loot/shop system please let me know.

I wish you a great weekend,
Josh

Kenku FM hides a bunch of my playlist if i make the window size smaller

I am trying to have Kenku FM open on my second (vertical) monitor, but if i try to make the window small enough to fit - for example between my notes app above and discord below - it hides all my other playlists, only displaying the first 4

Coming Soon - SoundBoard+ A bridge between OBR controls and Kenku FM

Soundboard+ is a two part app/extension consisting of a webapp to create and manage soundboards and an OBR Extension to send triggers and control it.

  • 3 types of audio tracks
    • Music for background
    • Ambience for environment
    • Effects for one off sound effects like explosions
  • Apply a soundboard to a scene
  • Create triggers, currently there are two types of triggers but planning more integration later
    • Scene Load Trigger: this is your default on load start the music
    • Manual: Push the button
  • Two ways to use triggers: Presets or Actions
    • Presets: Set the full soundboard music and ambience settings and save it as a preset, triggering to a preset resets the soundboard to that saved state
    • Actions: Used to play 1+ effects, create an action with explosion and screams effects and trigger both with a single click

Free vs Premium

Like all my extensions I will make the core of it free, but will need to be limited for free users as the storage costs and communications run on my missinglinkdev server and costs will grow quickly. So here's whats going to be free vs paid:

  • Free
    • 150mb of file storage and 3 max boards
  • Wyrmling
    • 1gb of storage and unlimited boards
  • Adult Dragon
    • 3gb of storage
  • Ancient Dragon
    • 10gb of storage

As always, love this community and glad to contribute where I can and will let you know when I get it hosted and ready for public use (in a few days). If want to get ahead with supporting the final development you can check out my Patreon

If you have any request or suggestions let me know. This is version 1.0 and have quite a few additional ideas planned in the future

EDIT: Was able to get v1.0 hosted, expect bugs and can either report here or even better the OBR Discord. But you can try it out now:

webapp: https://soundboard-plus.missinglinkdev.com/

extension: https://soundboard-plus.missinglinkdev.com/ext/manifest.json

Need to create an account via email and password first on the webapp, then in the webapp you can create your soundboards. Then install the extension in OBR and set the soundboard and triggers for a scene. Once you open the extension once the OBR room will populate in the webapp and can then join and triggers will control the webapp audio.

Player keeps having to rejoin room

One of my players who is on Chrome and using Win 10 has to is occasionally rejoin the Owlbear room that he was already in before. Is there a way to stop this from happening? It's usually no big deal but we use Trackers and Custom Action Rolls (from rogue store) which seems to be tied to this, so having to redo them gets tedious.

The issue is seen with some other players too though one seems to experience it more often than the rest.

We've made an extension for Owlbear.

For people who have been struggling with alt tabbing to check their sheets and etc, my friend made an extension to simplify and make the process faster while having as much freedom as possible! I have provided some pictures of the extension.

And the extension comes with a site to make your characters etc. Here it is! :

Dynamic Fog Extension: Can I add a door icon that the players can see?

I have a night time map and there are a couple of locked doors to get into the building, but they are kind of hard to make out with the fog in place. Is there a way that the door icon can be made visible to the players just to indicate that there is a door there?

Thanks for the help!

Deleted all of my scenes - can I recover?

I did a boo-boo. I opened up an old room I've never really used and deleted all of my scenes, assuming that it was a test version of my other room. I didn't realize that the scenes were shared, nor did I read the perfectly clear warning.

Is there a way to get my scenes back after deleting them?

Moving from Roll20 to Owlbear Rodeo for a Shadowdark campaign - Extension recommendations?

¡Hola a todos!

Soy usuario de Roll20 desde hace mucho tiempo (versión gratuita) y actualmente me estoy cambiando a Owlbear Rodeo para mi próxima campaña de Shadowdark. Busco una experiencia más sencilla y fluida, y me entusiasma especialmente usar las funciones de niebla de guerra para explorar mazmorras sin tener que pagar por Roll20.

Como soy nuevo en el ecosistema de OBR, me encantaría recibir recomendaciones sobre extensiones imprescindibles para Shadowdark. En concreto, busco:

  1. Extensiones específicas para Shadowdark: He visto extensiones como Shadow Crawler y Shadow Sheet, pero me gustaría saber cuáles les parecen más estables o útiles para controlar las antorchas y las rondas de exploración.
  2. Lanzador de dados: Necesito una extensión de dados que facilite y haga más intuitiva la adición de modificadores (como +2, -1, etc.) para mis jugadores.
  3. Utilidad general: ¿Alguna joya oculta para OBR que ayude con la investigación, la imaginación o el seguimiento de condiciones/HP?

Además, ¿dónde sueles buscar nuevas extensiones aparte de la tienda oficial?

¡Gracias de antemano por la ayuda! Tengo muchas ganas de dejar atrás la incomodidad de mi antiguo VTT.

Monster stats

Sorry I'm really new to this, I've been running and using OBR because it's lightweight and does everything I need.

I have a screen behind the DM screen and a screen on the table for my players.

Currently I'm flicking to a one note with all my monsters stats. Was wondering if there's an add on so I can have that information on the OBR page so I'm not switching between tabs.

Character Sheets

I love OR and have loved using it for our campaign, we all use Aurora for creating characters as my friend had access to a TON of add-ons for races and classes etc and we extract as a PDF

Was wondering what people use for their character sheets and if there is an easy way to have them on screen so my players dont constantly need to tab out to their PDF

Kenku FM Discord channel order

Does anyone know how to reorder discord channels/servers? Everything I see online says that the channels should appear in the order they’re in on the server, but from what I can tell the channels are appearing in the order they’re created. Reorganizing the channels on discord has no effect and whenever we add a new channel, it just appears at the bottom of the list.
