I've gotten a lot of comments about the various VTTs people use that I haven't covered, so don't stop telling me now! Fari is just one of many amazing VTTs people need to know about, and I must collect them all! I need ALL THE DIGITAL TABLES! Only then will I be able to hold my giant, virtual buffet.

[@GeneralEverywhen]

It is... *Astonishing* that you don't have more subscribers already. Out the gate, your production quality has been through the roof in all of the videos I've seen. And your presentation WITHIN said videos has been some of the best I've seen in the history of TTRPG KZbinrs. I hope that, soon enough, people in the community will find their way to your videos and appreciate them man. You deserve it.

[@TheDungeonNewbsGuide]

I really appreciate that, thank you so much! I feel I've been fortunate to get as much attention as I have for only having been at this a few months. Folks like you who spread my videos around, and click the buttons on here that please the YT Algorithm Gods are the only reason I've got as many subs and views as I do. I'm grateful to you and others who've been so awesome and supportive 😁

[@CopperDragonGames]

@arman naziri 100% agree with this statement! And also, thanks for pointing out this VTT. I'd never heard of it before, but I'll be checking it out!

[@veldtwalker]

I love how you review things in the best light, "this is what is good, and this is the short comings" , good work!

[@KiMo7PDC]

Loving this channel... thought I was already subscribed ...now I definitely am... I sent my DM your beyond vtt video... and I was already thinking about Fari for running Fate one shots...keep up the great content!

[@LeoCESS]

It seems really great! I could use for character sheets and Owlbear for the map stuff.

[@Rocky1138]

I love this. It's like you've written them an infomercial. I'm not sure but I think the site might be pronounced "fairy". Could be wrong.

[@risw.3821]

I'm looking to DM a Fate game because I couldn't make a solarpunk setting work in D&D5e and this was very helpful!

[@Algeyr]

Very neat VTT. Looking to run FATE soon so this video couldn't have come at a better time!

[@chaosmeisters6781]

Hadn't heard of this one and it looks sweet! Thanks for the video.

[@PixPunxel]

Astral for custom character sheets. It lets you upload PDF of character sheet and just create your stats and clickable buttons over it

[@dm4life579]

Great video as always!

[@jonwooley3370]

This was very helpful and looks to be the way I want to run Cypher. Do you use any special templates for NPC and or enemies?

[@TheDungeonNewbsGuide]

Honestly, with how simple enemies are to draw up in Cypher, since it is all Difficulty level based, I just make some card for them on Fari, with their Difficulty, Health, Damage, and a spot for special abilities. Gotta have some weird special abilities that you think up off the top of your head Hehe

[@Tiyev]

Do you have to be a patron and donate money to unlock certain features on Fari? I can't seem to roll anything other than a d6, and can't change hardly anything, other than in the draw tab, and even then, there are options that don't do anything, like under the ellipsis button (...), none of those symbols seems to do anything.

[@verdynn5917]

Is there some way to keep people from messing with public cards? I was surprised there was no seeming way to keep random players from changing index card details. Am I missing something?

[@TheDungeonNewbsGuide]

So far as I know, the only way would be to ask them to please not hehe. Whiiich I understand isn't a fully effective method with all people

[@varenoftatooine2393]

Its also possible to run a game in this and in Owlbear Rodeo, but easier if people have multiple monitors.

[@LuizBGomide]

Does Fari actually works fine with WoD/CotD?

[@TheDungeonNewbsGuide]

It certainly can, though I will give a few caveats... -It lacks a good way to just add dice a pool, as it just rolls preset pools of dice, so you have the manually enter stuff. -Like many customizable character sheet tools out there, tracking the CofD health system isn't really there. You can find work-arounds (have multiple slot tracks for each type of damage and shift them all accordingly) but it isn't perfect. Otherwise, it isn't bad for it! Thankfully, I've become friends with the dev and am happy to constantly pester him to add new features :D

[@andrewhageman5273]

When I click on the link for your Cypher Character sheet its just a page of html code. How do I upload that to Fari?

[@TheDungeonNewbsGuide]

So, since it is Google Drive, there should be a small download button in the upper right. Unless Google Drive is only showing me that because it is my Google Drive...in which case, I am confused and not sure how to tackle this. Let me know if that works, and if not...I will have to figure out a different way to share it.

[@andrewhageman5273]

@@TheDungeonNewbsGuide Thanks for the reply. I've been busy, so I haven't had a chance to test it out until now, but it works. Its just going to take some time for me to figure out how to properly navigate this app. I look forward to learning, and maybe hosting my first game of Cypher on this.

[@kevinxsavagegm]

How the fuck is Foundry complicated and messy?????? It's literally the most user-friendly VTT.
