Well, this is rather handy!!

Another map making tool you may like is Azgaar's fantasy map generator. It creates world maps and auto generates city/town maps for every location using Watabous generators and creates permalinks. It also allows for some really cool control over climate, geography, and population. Azgaar has a fan made module for foundry to import maps

i was searching for something like this just today!

Too bad it got discontinued, core manual rolls are much worse.

so how do we add light animations to the item we just created? :D

Hey dude... Is it possible to get the template file or midjourney prompt? It's beautiful and love to follow along to the video

Unfortunately, you can't change the emission degree of the light. So, you can't make a flashlight or other light source. I was really looking for something that allows control of the angle of the light. If anyone knows of one, please let me know. Thank you.

I'd already managed to make some macro weapon effects(with sound too), thankfully some of the effects even manage to fit into Cyberpunk2020. This helped a lot. I made a macro that fires a rocket and thanks to your werewolf example, it now results in an explosion after it hits, then knowing how to do that, it leaves a fire behind. There are some other things I want to do, maybe the stuff at the end could help me out. But the fire fights really feel much better now.

it doesnt only work on chrome, but on any chromium based browser, including edge, firefox etc

to track spell/concentration durations, there are "timer"/counters under the custom conditions in the right click menu on a token

great video! fwiw, you have always needed to adjust the players HP on the character sheet due to the limitations of the dndbeyond character sheet and how abovevtt can not manipulate the sheet from the token (Same with character conditions). players should be managing their own HP anyway :) To "target", double click, but nothing is done "Automatically". You can just select the monster token and then click the damage button on the game log to apply damage to monsters quickly, though. in the settings tab, there are way more options if you click the "change default token options"

I didn't understand how to prevent certain items to go to certain slots, could you explain that?

I'm glad that official D&D content in foundry is being implemented so well. I own no books in D&D Beyond and was about to buy the 2014 PHB just before they announced that Foundry would be getting official content, so I decided to wait on it. I feel that getting it on Foundry is a massive win, especially with some mods that can handle creating chacaracters, which is what Beyond does better so far. Just hoping that they launch previous books in Foundry as well. As always, great video! I'll probably get the new books in Foundry, but I'm mid campaign right now and changing everything is too much trouble, I'm gonna wait to update do 4.x, maybe in the future.

Thanks a lot for your tutorial ! I am going to start my very first campaign this weekend and your videos have been such an amazing help to get me ready for it!

Damn you! 😆Why did you show me this? And all the content for Foundry VTT (Roll tables etc. what you just showed in this video). I said in one of my earlier comments about the players handbook, that I wait for the errata. I think I have to change my mind for PHB and DMG (digital version only), because correcting mistakes in digital versions are so much easier. I will buy the "real" books later then.

Got this for Foundry, not because I am using the rules of 2024 but wanted the Bastions in and some of the items and such. It's very easy to integrate and filter what you want and don't. It's a good module and version to have for Foundry, and a lot cheaper than the physical book.

Thank you!

After using "Set Terrain" at 12:49, in the behavior part you go to the drop down and choose difficult terrain. Everything worked until that for me, but my drop-down is empty for some reason? Any ideas why? (I am using pf2e instead of DnD)

The dog has eaten my paper

Excellent breakdown of the features and capabilities! Thank you!

Hey man, how you doing. glad to see another video of yours. Cheers from Chile from another DM. (here your comment and like). PS. If you want to play DnD and learn spanish, just tell me.

I bought the special edition covers versions of the physical books, the dndbeyond versions- and I will be getting the foundry ones. Why? Well, I like the physical books for the collection, I use D&D beyond all the time and I still think its the better way to make characters, and Im going to buy them on Foundry too because I want to support FVTT and have the content available in FVTT with less importing XD - Is it expensive? Not really, split up over time its not really that bad and im going to get a ton of use out of them.

Great Job sir as always. I have moved forward to the 2024 4.1.1 build on my foundry server it is great to have the books built for foundry. I am missing a lot of my mods only down side, but base foundry is starting to have some of those features built in.

Maybe stupid question: how do you add a text on a tile? or is it simply an extra drawing under it?

how do you reset the map?

Hello Clay, I hope you are well! I am here to bother you with another question. Ive been tinkering with Foundry, setting up V12. However, Ive run into a few weird problems and Im hoping you can help me or can point me to where I can find help: I use automatic rerolling of initiative in combat. So each round, different initiative. I like that it makes combat extra unpredictable and chaotic. So in MidiQoL Ive checked reroll initiative each round. So far so good and this always worked like a charm in V11 but now I just cannot get it to work. When I end the round and begin a new one, it keeps the same initiative. And this makes it really weird: when one of my players does the same, it DOES reroll initiative. He does the same as I am doing: he just cycles through the combatants (in both carroussel and the combat encounter tab) but when he gets to the end of the round, initiative is rerolled but when I (and one of my other players) does it, nothing happens. They are all logged in to my server. We are all set to GM (it is a small testing team). We all use the same MidiQoL settings (I take it). To make it extra, extra weird: when the player that has the rerolls working, logs in to the account of the player who doesn't have the rerolls working, for him the rerolls are now working! This player is just logging into my server, so there are no local setting he's using. Do you have any explanation for this because we are going crazy! :) Also, when we roll the first initiative, it rolls like 2 or 3 dice per combatant per initiative. This has always been like that but Ive never figured out why it does that. Any idea why that is happening? I've gone through all the settings and I just cannot find what we are doing wrong. Thanks so much! Hope you are doing well. Love that the channel is still growing so much! Mike

I love AboveVTT because how simple and easy to use it is, it does just about everything you'd need it to. A bit annoying you have to manually do damage and healing for the player characters, but thats not a deal breaker. My only complaint about it (and for most VTTs I guess) is its not very mobile friendly. If D&D Beyond manages to add all the same functionality as this AND have it work right on their mobile app, there really won't be a reason to use AboveVTT anymore

AboveBTT seems a good option for those not keen into automations and such. My problem with it is actually with DnDBeyond and the whole month subscription to share content with players. But still, definetely a great option for those looking into simple and quick play. Great video!

Hi ClayGolem. This is a great vid - It is so immersive you can acutally feel it [~01:20]. Will snatch me this module right away. After all DM´s do live in a two screen pc environement these days :)

Hi Claygolem. Like and comment to push the channel. May YT-Algorithm do its thing.

Is this in your .2.3? :)

no follow up video for how combat encounters and initiative works? :(

Hi, thank you for this video. very helpful. I have a couple questions please. First, is it impossible to import a map from desktop? can only import URL's? Second, i seen that when you were adding characters, the only options you had were creating new characters, how do you add a pre-existing character that someone already made on DDB on their character list? thanks for your time

Thanks again for the module. I'm reading over the WTC adventure in preparation. I think I may have found 2 bugs when playing with it, 1/ When logged in as a user on Svalich Road the player can't see the Gates or Corpse when the DM displays them. 2/On Crossroads Horseman the button images can't be found (!) and the player can see them to.I'm on ver. 0.2.3

Is it possible to have the buttons and levers highlight for the players when they hover their mouse over them? The way doors and journal entries do. This would be very helpful for my players as they don't know what they can click on sometimes. Thank you :)

hey there, loving the work so far! I tried running the module and it worked great! sorry if this has been asked before, but in some scenes, there seem to be some assets that don't load at all? they only show up as white triangles with exclamation points in the middle. is there any way to fix those? I'm using foundry v3.3.1 if that helps (since its the only version compatible with plutonium currently)

i just found out about this. thank you so much for your work!! looking forward to the release of the other arcs!

FINALLY SOMEONE USING GRID ON THE SAMECMAP AS ME

Wonderful, now, give me an in depth guide on how to use Sequencers Crosshairs so I can finally use the edge detection for placing breath attack XD

Just keep getting an error when I do localhost:30001

Just started to use your CoS module, I'm guessing you moved away from using levels in this way? (Seems like Death House is all in one scene). What do you recommend as the best way of moving between levels, literally just moving the tokens across to each quadrant of the map? Edit: Apologies, I can see the tokens can teleport on the stairs, this is incredible, wasn't aware of this functionality!

Hey Claygolem, I'm looking for a way to see people on and under a cliff and be able to attack them with ranged combat without the players being able to just run up the cliff. I can't do that with walls. Either the players can climb over the walls or the attack is blocked. Can this be adjusted with Terrain Mapper?

Thanks love you man!

This is absolutely INCREDIBLE. Been struggling with CoS modules on Foundry as a lot of them aren't the version I want (e.g. the DC Reloaded version). Soon to be starting CoS for the first time so this is an absolute life-saver. Definitely going to be a supporter!

Wow you are getting good! Thanks for the video :)

what are the other modules that add recipes? I cant seem to find any besides the potion crafting one

What module is the "DIME" you are referring to?

I was very happy to discover your channel, as I haven't found many showing the construction of an adventure/campaign in Foundry as well as yours. That said, I do have some remarks, intended to give new viewers some extra tips. Foundry is a computer program and as such based on mathematics. So use some when designing your adventures. To get an idea of grid size and image magnification, count the number of grid squares in the image and divide the amount of pixels in the image to get a starting point for resizing your scene images. If you're going to add lights to a scene, start from darkness and deactivate global illumination. Quick walls with few details will always disappoint in the end, put in the effort from the start. This only goes for walls definining natural elements, of course, walls for buildings and such can be kept simple. Layer sounds and lights for more realism, as computing power is plenty nowadays and it adds a lot to realism while for you it's mostly copy and paste.

Question at 2:45 - There was no PHB2014 for foundry, this is the first official implementation of the core books specifically for Foundry. Prior you had to use a DND Beyond Importer to kinda bring what you brought there into Foundry. That goes for the other books, DMG, MM, etc. That is what makes this very exciting, its the first time.

Are you planning to make a video on Rippers Skill Tree video by chance?
