D&D 5E (2024) Foundry Support

[TheSword]

Hey folks. I’m going to run my next D&D campaign on Foundry instead of Roll20 after many happy sessions running WFRP on foundry in the last 3 years.

I can see that all the 2024 onwards content has been released as premium modules including Keep on the Borderlands. Which surprises me given how recently that came out. It gives me some hope that the Forgotten Realms books and Rise of the Artificer will be out soon too.

In terms of backdating stuff as well as the Phandelver book they launched with, they’ve now added Tomb of Annihilation and also Tasha’s which is interesting.

Has anyone seen any info or rumours about WotCs intentions with Foundry? Will the backdate? Are they committed to releasing all the campaign and setting books they publish on there?

No hard info, but I find it unlikely they are going to add much more from the back catalogue. Going forward, I'm guessing they will get most stuff.

The way to get back catalogue/legacy materials is to use a third party importer to bring over your D&D Beyond purchases--provided you already got it on D&D Beyond while it was available.

I agree with this post.

That sounds metal. And radioactive.

Yeah I don’t use D&D beyond.

I’m hopeful that the best selling products could come across hence Tasha and Tomb of Annihilation. Curse of Strahd and a few others doesn’t seem unreasonable but we’ll see.

Woohoo! If those three come out with a couple of months of book release with full Foundry integration I will be a happy bunny.

I'm pretty sure they were working of the Artificer book, but WotC pushed that back, some indication that they might be working on the Faerun books.

They mentioned that Pandelver and Tomb were some of the best D&D 5e adventures, so they ported those over first. What surprised me is that they didn't mention Strahd, as that's the other of the top three 'best' adventures, so I assumed they would do that one eventually as well. But then I realized, they might not... Because 2026 is the 10 year anniversary of Curse of Strahd and WotC might do a 2024 remaster, or expanded version of that adventure (considering it's popularity). So the Foundry team might do that instead IF it comes out...

The didn't do the Vecna adventure either, they are limited in capacity and probably don't want to flood the market. They also seem to be concentrating on 2024 rulebooks, with the occasional adventure.

Your best bet if you want to run something like Strahd, there are a LOT of fans who've made Strahd expansions/upgrades and some fans made them into extensive FVTT modules. The ClayGollem did a Strahd module: Link to module (github): GitHub - ClayGolemDM/Curse-Of-Strahd-by-ClayGolem: Final packaged version for running Curse of Strahd, using DragnaCarta's Reloaded version. Made for Foundry V13.
There are of course others...
