I didn't try DMing in Roll20 long enough to appreciate the difference. How does it handle the various objects? The only complaint I have with items in Foundry (and actors, scenes, tables...all the objects) is that things can get messy quickly and managing items and other objects in your world...

I finally got the new MM and started browsing it last night. The first thing I looked for was the disclaimer in the credits and was a little bummed that there wasn't one. Overall, not a big deal. But I did enjoy them.

I'd have to play around. I'm not sure I would want to try to type such rolls into a chat. I would use macros. I see that there is a Hero System game system for foundry. It'll be interesting to create a world in that system and see how they handled it.

A number of VTTs brought up here that I've not played around with. Life's busy at the moment, but I'm interested in trying some of them. I've been hearing a lot about Talespire. I've yet to dive into a 3D VTT (other than playing around with mods for Foundry, which is a rabbit hole of...

I just like the immersion it lends. But, to be honest, I probably get 6 hours of gaming in an 8 hour session. It is a time to hang out with friends, so there is time to grab lunch, some chat at the top and at the end. But I feel I get that in 6, 4, or 3 hours. I don't like feeling that we are...

And you have to deal with D&D fans and pretend that you appreciate their feedback.

There are no cancellations only rescheduling. My group doesn't have a regular schedule, there is no way we could all commit to a schedule. At the end of each game session we select a Saturday in the next month that works for all of us. When we started 10 years ago, I ran my campaign so that...

Once a month. An 8-hour game. I'd rather run one longer game than two shorter games. I would like to play more frequently but it is hard to regularly schedule a weekly or biweekly game, whereas we've been able to find one Saturday a month to play for the last 10 years.

Well, while I enjoy playing all kinds of TTRPGs, and do not look down on my friends who got really into VtM TTRPGs and LARP, I have to say Zardnaar's comment got a LOL from me. Those who remember the pretension in some VtM communities in the early '90s get it. I just read Z's comment as similar...

Glad to hear it! I mean, I love good science fiction, but I'm very picky with sci fi when it comes to books (not so much for TV & film), but I'll happily enjoy even "bad" fantasy pulp.

This may be a strange topic, but I like discussing VTTs and have participated in a number of threads asking for VTT recommendations or about what VTTs folks are currently using. I've used a lot of VTTs over the years and I realize that there are none that I can say I "hate" and even none that I...

Foundry's support for different dice rolling processes is pretty darn extensive. If you are so inclined, I would be interested if you could provide a few examples of the more idiosyncratic dice-rolling processes. I'd be interesting in seeing if I can make it work only using dice formulae typed...

Kinda. But no. Without a single mod installed, Foundry is by far offers the best battlemap prep experience of any VTT I've tried, and I've put a lot of hours in to all the major VTTs and many of the less popular ones. Next, it depends on the game system. Pathfinder 2e and WFRP4e offer very well...

Exactly this. But I have a dream. A dream that one day I'll have a VTT where I can select a large group of tokens and reliably apply area effects and have persistent effects smoothly tracked. If the wotc VTT handles this well, that would be enough for me to switch to it for D&D games.

Yeah, but mod management and troubleshooting is one of the biggest frustrations less-techie folk encounter when diving into Foundry. Don't get me wrong, I love how much you can mod Foundry and love the mod community the grew around foundry. But for new people, I always recommend using it without...

Another good question would be: did you play Skyrim? Yes, okay, did you mod it until you had a character who could fly, travel around with a gang of NPCs, had an airship stronghold, and used console commands? No. You just played the game? I'm not sure Foundry is for you. ;-) That said, I...

I've never found Foundry core to be unstable, but conflicting or outdated mods can certainly create a lot of issues. The modability of Foundry is both a blessing and a curse.
