[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 8106320, member: 6796661"] Depends. With or without modules? Straight out of the box, it is no harder or easier than any other VTT I've used. You can copy past most of the stuff, though character sheets and stat blocks need extra love if you want to make use of any automations using them. But where Foundry shines are its modules.
