I know right? Like obviously not rocket science.and it feels silly to even say but at the same time, even I had a *facepalm* type moment with it.

I often find something I've overlooked in your videos and this one was no exception. It's very helpful to hear how other GMs run their games and your enthusiasm for the subject comes over very well.

Hahahaha. You're in great company!

Bookmarking this. I’m back on foundry vtt and ready to run tables!

I'm trying to watch all your videos now. they are very practical and this informed me alot about foundry which i have not used.

This was stellar. Well done.

great tips, thanks for the suggestions

I'm starting to use Foundry/The Forge for online gaming. My ruleset of choice is Savage Worlds (SWADE), however, here's what I'm running if it helps anyone. Core Mods: Break Time Combat Chat Compendium Folders Dice So Nice!

Great tips, thanks. I really like the uh-oh scene 👍

Omg the pathfinder premade adventure thing is so relatable, In the end I read through my adventure like 3-4 times, cut out all the unnecessary fluff and ran it that way instead, as nice as it is to have all the info there, having it set up in a better way would be much prefered... Thanks for all the awesome tips btw! Have a lovely day

This is totally what I do. You can always re-import stuff if you deleted too much, but I like to take my own notes on things because it helps me really learn the adventure. Also I use the adventure more like guidelines anyway. I tend to add more stuff or let cool things (that make sense) happen even if it's not exactly what they should do according to the module.

This is great thank you so much for this!! I’ve just started dming online and spent monthhh learning foundry but when it came to the first session I found it so clunky to keep notes. Keep these videos coming 💙

You can just hit 'esc' to unselect tokens you don't have to drag select an empty space. Although most people would still probably find left-click empty space to be better

Good point, I guess I like having the option of left click though

Great video, good advice! I also recommend Monk's Token Bar, it gives you a small display of all characters in the scene along with their vitals (configurable) and info like passive perception. Very helpful! Also, I am now going to buy my wife that cat& coffee t-shirt. :)

How long has that option for left click to release/unselect token option been there! All this time and only now do I discover it's a thing 😅. Popout is also a new module to me 🙃

I'm not sure what you mean. Can you be more specific?

what can be done to import tokens and organize them?

@CantripsMedia

3 ай бұрын

You'll have to get a bit more specific. Are you importing actors, like from the compendium or are you trying to import just token images? Are you importing from outside resources (like d&d beyond)? I think the way they get imported affects organization quite a bit. And changes what you are organizing. If its the data folders, certain modules organize them on import (like tokenizer and dnd beyond importer) and you simply select the folder. If you are importing a batch of images to pull random token images for (with the wildcard feature) then you get to choose where they go. Otherwise if you are organizing actors etc, I talk about that in the video, but typically I organize it into 3 types of folders: players, NPCs and Monsters. Then the Monster folder has sub folders for: commonly used and then folders for each scene. This also allows me to export them to a compendium so they aren't taking up room and causing lag. Hope this helped. If not, you should join the discord and we can chat more about it. You can also get help from some of the other foundry vets there haha

I wouldn't recommend midiqol to anyone. The module automates way too much if the game and other smaller modules do it better. Sure, it's very customizable but I think the few things you want it to do outside of total automation aren't worth installing.

They have some quick presents on the far right if you want to set varying degrees of automation from simple to complete.

I disagree with this. You can customize the crap out of midiqol. So if your players want to roll you can set it up that way, although it will take some time to go through all the settings. Check the workflow tab.
