For those of you on Foundry, a module for Spells from the Forgotten Vault was added yesterday. It's included for free when you purchase the PDF on DTRPG 😁

To use it, just download the zipped archive from DTRPG, navigate to wherever you keep your Foundry data, and extract the content in the modules directory.
 

Any hope of a POD or other physical version of this product? It's one of my most oft-referenced and would really benefit from a physical presence at my table.

Probably not any time real soon, much as I'd like to.

The reason for that is when I was working on SftFV, I hadn't yet learned how to set documents up for print with DTRPG. There's a hard limit of 240% ink on any one spot (if you do CMYK color, the Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black all have to add up to 240 or less). I didn't pay any attention to that (because I didn't know about it) when I was doing layout for Spells from the Forgotten Vault. That means that the entire product is massively over-ink. The background/border, text, art - all of it. I also didn't include bleed (an 8th of an inch of extra space around the exterior border for print variance) when I was doing it.

So to do a print version, I would have to basically do an entire brand-new version from scratch. Not something I can whip up on a weekend, unfortunately.

A more likely scenario (but still don't hold me to this, because this is more in the "general idea" category than "thing I have specific plans for" one) would be to eventually do a sequel (or two) and then roll those into a collection that contained everything, which I could then do a print version of. Or even just do an "expanded" version with a bunch of new content; something that would justify all the extra work.

No worries, I appreciate you letting me know. It might also be a good opportunity to bundle in a bunch of your combat maneuvers too, they feel like a similar sort of selectable niche as spells, if you do approach a compilation product in future.
 



Okay, guilty. It DID get me thinking about solutions to answer that inquiry. Still - it will take some time once we get going and that likely won't really start in earnest for at least another month or so.
