This is exciting news. Best of luck! I’ll give FG a look as you start evolving it. I like Foundry and self-host…the lack of subscription fee is very compelling. Some Foundry modules are overly complicated for me, unfortunately. But for standard map play with line-of-site and weather without fancy effects like spell effects and teleportation, it works very well.

If I could ask for any feature feature in FG, and I don't even know if this is possible, it would be an assistant autofill that tried to determien what coding you were aiming for and helped you get it right.

"It seems like you are trying to apply a to hit bonus against enemies of the undead type. Try using ATKBONUS:....." like that.

Do that.
 

I have been using FG for 8 years now and the interface is 2nd hand to me. It is a VTT interface and really good at that. Could be better but gets an unfair reputation. They did an update a few years ago that made it better.

I was happy to hear the news, I personally think they need better resources to quickly pull together the ability to play different RPG without learning scripting in lua. CoreRPG does not go far enough.
