FoundryVTT is definitely the way to go imo. By itself it's all the VTT I could ever ask for, but with the focusing on community plugins and modding, it's literally perfect.

My party members learnt that some of my characters may have healing abilities and I may use them on occasions but if you drop yourself for no good reason then you can forget about it. I'm talking the 8 con rogue with 14 ac who sits in melee and refuses to disengage. even my good aligned character only healed him once and then cast command to force him to leave instead, she went from her bright bardic spellcasting to her much more sinister warlock spell in 6 seconds, meanwhile all of my other characters have been like "I don't heal stupidity" or "Look I can't even get to you in a turn because I'm an archer and you're in melee for some stupid reason and I don't really want to get that close to the enemies myself, so I'll just attack instead." and my mentality was "if you're just going to make poor decisions constantly then you can roll death saves because I'm not wasting my resources on keeping you alive." (honestly somehow I'm still often the healer in the party even as a ranger with goodberry or a rogue who packed healing potions and my tendency towards neutral/meaner characters means if/when I do eventually play a cleric I'll probably be the one who's attitude is "No, obviously I didn't buy the diamonds, I'm not the one who's dead.")

I understand that you probably have a good reason for doing so… But being able to clearly see that you’re reading a script with your eyes, is the most distracting part of your videos. I appreciate the information you provide in your videos, but its hard to pay attention when you are simply reading and not genuinely speaking from the noggin.

hey guys can anyone help me please. right now im using Roll20 but want to switch to foundryvtt. I use my own set of rules with self made character sheets in excel etc. Is it possible to create like an own sheet in foundry with macros in the sheet? and which system should i install then? because right now my friends have to switch between the excel and roll20 and then just roll the dice there. i tried to install for example D&D but the initiative there is rolled with d20 but in my game i use d6. so basicly what i want is to "copy" my excel into foundry and choose fields when players press on it a dice will be rolled.

This sounds like a pretty specific setup. If you don’t need the systems of DnD, then you could install the Simple Worldbuilding game system to make your own custom setup. If you need further help, I recommend going to the Foundry VTT Discord server and asking help there.

Probably unpopular opinion, but I don't like "physical dice" in VTTs. It slows the game down unnecessarily. Yeah, it might look cool the first 3 times, but there's so many things that can slow down stuff when you play online, I really don't need an additional 4-10 second wait every time one rolls...

@DiceAndEasy
@DiceAndEasy Ай бұрын
You would have to keep reimporting from DnDBeyond if you do the changes to your character there. The other option is to import your character first and then just do all the changes in Foundry. The downside is that then without the Patreon subscription your character in DnD Beyond would be out of sync all the time.

Updated to v12 and it immediately broke everything, which I kind of expected, but it broke even more than I was expecting. Pretty much all modules are doneskies (even the really popular ones like Levels/Monk's stuff) which... Yanno, expected. But even the core system is broken in a lot of ways: Can't place lights, can't adjust text drawings without having to restart entirely, etc. I'll probably update once the "stable" release is actually... Stable.
@DiceAndEasy
@DiceAndEasy Ай бұрын
Yeah that is to be expected. Were the core features broken when you had broken modules active? Keep in mind that if you had broken modules active while trying core features, the broken modules might've been breaking them. Because I had no problems with core features without modules active. Also if you have many modules active, there might be just a small amount of modules that are breaking a lot of other modules. If you want to troubleshoot the modules causing the issues, try using the Find The Culprit module to find the modules that are broken.

I hate slick UI -- give me a clunky UI that has all the features in File | Edit | View | etc menu explorable trees like an app from 1998. Then I can find all the features and play doesn't grind to a halt when a player doesn't know to press some button on their keyboard. Then, if I've mastered the hot-keys, I can press Alt+Enter to toggle the clunky UI off when I want to.
