I'm not sure what the situation is on v12 Foundry, but on v13 if you have any transparent image, it can assign a token ring for you.* This is how the 2024 Monster Manual assigns rings in Foundry so it should look identical. (MM24 Foundry version token on the left, my token made from a...

I think there are players who want to play someone that looks nearly human with maybe 1 superficial change, but has completely different traits. And there are players who want the tiefling outcast fantasy, but don't want to be red or purple. Or they want the "outcast" nature to come from...

The third woman is Anjali Bhimani, who is probably best known for voicing Symmetra in the Overwatch videogame (the same game where a guy named Matt Mercer plays a cowboy). You're right that she has also been in a lot of D&D shows. Around the time the above video came out, Ginny Di also did an...

Converting my Session Zero notes from a Google Doc to Foundry... Left - A player-facing slide about the setting. Players would see just the slide and not the surrounding menus. Right - Character creation rambling, DM-facing because no one is going to read that. It might help me figure out what...

As the long-term notetaker for my group, I have observed that the players who would benefit most from reading session notes have zero interest in doing so. So I write the notes I would most like to read more than anything else. Also I never take notes during the session. I upload a recording to...

When I was checking out Foundry and looking at their trailer, it kept showing players walking around in completely separate hallways or corners of the map, zipping in and out of rooms with no pause whatsoever for interaction with the DM. I was like who plays like this??

This zero prep stream of the 5E Pharaoh module may interest you. Part 2 Edited version - DM talks about what was easy (combat) and what was hard (complicated NPCs and dungeon mechanics) at the end.

Thank you for this. I love reading about people's actual playthroughs of modules and the timing details (how long will X rooms/maps of prep last!).

Oh yeah the Beyond PHB hiding the species drives me crazy. Curiously the Foundry version does not have that issue. (sorry if someone posted this already, there's a lot more pages to this thread than I expected from last night to tonight)

I'd say the only troubles I have with the Beyond version are: Sometimes the assets take a second to load, so I will select dragon turtle and it will be showing me draft horse because all the art hasn't loaded yet to force the text down the screen. The top bar search on Beyond returns a ton of...

Grung 2024 Size: Small Speed: Your walking speed is 30 feet, and you have a swimming speed and climbing speed equal to your walking speed. Traits Arboreal Alertness. You have proficiency in the Perception skill. Amphibious. You can breathe air and water. Standing Leap. Your long jump is up to...

Thanks for your thoughts! The idea of charges for poisonous skin is great, since I think some other 2024 species use that model. RE: poison immunity, D&D has a certain RPG logic (or Pokemon logic, if you prefer) that if a monster is poisonous then the monster is probably resistant to poison...

My first character ever was a grung, and I would like to include them as an option in a 5E 2024 campaign. However, I don't think I should include them as-is because of changes in how 2024 species are designed, and because their original design was not necessarily for regular campaigns anyway...

Foundry is tremendously complicated and requires a huge time investment (in watching 30-minute youtube videos and getting real friendly with the techs on Foundry's Discord) to learn how to set up and run a game in it. But since the systems you've listed are specifically not D&D* and you also...

Niche use, but goliath mechanics work well if you want to make irda PCs in Dragonlance. You can rename the first 5 ability choices after each chromatic dragon color since irda were created by Takhisis, and rename Stone's Endurance to Ogre Endurance. Getting big is also a suitable ability for...

They did rehost the trailer on the D&D channel 10 days ago. It's very atmospheric, though I will be honest the reason I clicked is because I saw the word "Avantris". Didn't get quite what I was expecting from that angle, though there are certainly clowns in this trailer. :ROFLMAO:
