Rather than asking it to DM an adventure for you, you can ask it to create an adventure or encounter. I asked it to give me a short road-side encounter for the party - It gave the details for a gnome trader whose cart was being off the road by invisible creatures - displacer beast cubs. Gave ideas about how the players might deal with it, and consequences, rewards from the Gnome if they helped, etc. Was really good!

Possibly. Can you give me an example of what you'd want, then I can try and give you a precise usage.

Because it's the official PHB module. It's really useful having it in there as a complete digital version, but you have to by it specifically for Foundry.

You can purchase a Foundry version of the PHB and DMG which is what you're seeing. It's an expensive way to do it if you've already purchased a DnDBeyond version.

Of course I remember you 🙂 And you're right. Once you've placed a Region, you can't resize it. BUT, you can edit the region to add more "shapes" that form part of the same Region. So you can add a corrected one, and then delete any wrong ones. Or just have multiple shapes that are part of the same Region that all do the same thing - block weather, adjust lighting, etc. Or 5 different small shapes that all Teleport the character to a specific place - fun way to make puzzles where they teleport back to the beginning if they take the wrong path.

@clay_golem Oh wow! I am building a DnD Tombs of Annihilation campaign in foundary. I didn't even consider making interactive puzzles! Ha! Awesome. Thanks again 🫡

2) There's a fair bit of improved support for items, spells etc. generally. It's all a little bit slicker than before. If you're game's stable and you're not interested in the 2024 content, don't upgrade. If it wasn't for doing the videos, I would have stayed on 3.3.1 for a while longer. 1) There are bits mixed in with other bits. Some specific item examples: ua-cam.com/video/J-4J-oL4KKM/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/2H2nkcGTt8k/v-deo.html but it might be worth doing a video specifically on "how to debug items" - with chapters on things like Resource Consumption, Failed Saving Throw, Apply Condition etc.

Always willing to make stupid decisions in the name of progress 😁 Nope, JourneyQuest is not something I'm familiar with.

@@clay_golem JourneyQuest is about some 14years old now.... :D tempus fugit

I deliberately picked sleep because I had a mostly-working version in 3.3.1. I didn't expect it to magically be fixed, but we live in hope.

This is the state with quite a few bits - mostly automated, but not 100% there - it slows the targets, but didn't apply the full status effect. And yes, the MM! I'm hanging out for that too - but wanted to be ready for it, hence this move. And then we can look at that in all it's glory!

I have the CPR beta installed - it was one of the module updates in this video. However, it was a long enough video so I didn't specifically look at certain items - but the updated Dodge action was from CPR.

Yeah, me too. Just got it all nice, and then I sabotage myself! :D

@mds000123 Yeah, just missed dragging you in. Was more concerned about the spell casters being broken. Which they're not - just raggedy around the edges a bit

No problem. I had all the same challenges and questions you have, and it's why I thought I'd start the channel - just helping out some fellow players 🙂

@@clay_golem well it paid off and it's incredibly valuable

If you're on V12, using the Regions to Teleport is easier to setup and runs just perfectly. And you can teleport between two areas without issue. In MATT, you should be able to teleport both ways, using the On Enter, Teleport to other-tile on both tiles. Using Tagger you can name them to make your life easier, and stops Foundry getting confused about which tile you're talking about.

@clay_golem I am on v12. okay that's really interesting I must have overlooked that I will give it a shot. I'm not sure I remember seeing that but I'll take a look

This video at 30:51 should help: ua-cam.com/video/QDfbCmy33cs/v-deo.htmlsi=AzyPQVJ9dlAoPxb6

@clay_golem Man! You are 1000% incredible! Thank you for your time in doing that!!

Oooh, so pulling/pushing a combination of buttons/levers? Nice. Good luck getting it working 😀

The map icons? They are all core Foundry - you already have them 😀

The original maps are all by Aonbarr and are free to use from here: www.patreon.com/posts/complete-curse-59475823 So yes, you can download the maps for free, in the format that's going to work best for you to take into Roll20 😀

This is an ongoing problem, because Foundry doesn't understand 3D. You can play around with Wall Height, setting walls to be 10' tall - so you can see over them from an distance to see that roof that is above 10'. It's quite a bit of fiddling though.

@@clay_golem Thanks for the reply, ill have to see if i can make it work with the wall height then, so much love for how well your videos are done and how easy it is to find videos relative to what im trying to do in foundry.

Urgh... Sorry about that.

Thank you. More to come in the next couple of days

Err... Nope. That's definitely not correct. I must have broken something. Thank you for letting me know. I'll do a release in the next couple of days to fix this.

@@clay_golem Thanks mate, I appreciate you taking the time!

Only MidiQoL, DAE and CPR (What was Chris' Premades). However, I stopped "fixing" some of these things as the updates started coming so fast that things that did work suddenly stopped. And it was becoming a fulltime job to keep up. I actually removed my own Automated Items module from my game as it was a smoother player experience (and less stressful) to handle certainly things on-the-fly, rather than automate. I hope with the advent of DnD4.x engine and the upcoming Foundry V13 that things settle down for a while, and we see lots of improvements, rather than changes.

The easiest way is to just drag your subclass onto the character sheet, rather than clicking the Add Subclass button. When creating your subclass, make sure that the Class Identifier box has the correct class in it - so if it's a Fighter subclass, you need to have fighter in that box. If not, it won't show up for that character class.

Once you've got your Actor (player, NPC, monster), regardless of how you got it into Foundry, you can edit that actor sheet, click on the portrait image and then upload any image you want. Just bare in mind that there is a Portrait and Token image, so you may want to do it for both of them. And they can be different!

That is a good question... I've not tried this. As great as DNDBImporter is, it's not a patch on having the PHB/DMG in Foundry itself. I think the answer will be yes, but I'll have to have a play with it to see how best to approach that.

​@clay_golem the importer brought the items and monsters etc but I don't think it brought in the text

@ Many of the mods that bring in items (CPR, DDBI, GPS, etc) do not bring in the text - because of copyright.

You ongoing support is very much appreciated.

The whole thing would be much poorer if it wasn't for you guys contributing, suggesting and correcting.

Yep, we solved it by going with Chris' Premades (CPR): ua-cam.com/video/GRrQeN4FJ0Y/v-deo.html Although bare in mind that is only for the dnd 3.3.1 game engine - It's not available for DnD 4.x (the 2024 rules version) just yet (but it's close!)

@@clay_golem i think they change something and it dsnt work now.... CPR was the first tool I turned to) I'll try to configure this manually. Thanks to you, you show the formula xD

@@clay_golem sooo its work, but i cant realise why my battle master dice is 1d6

nvr mnd) i solved this Thanks xD

@ Oh fantastic. I saw your comment last night as was going to have a dig to check where the BattleMaster dice is set... but you got there without me. Nice!

Most of my videos are inspired by me hitting the same problems you will, or have. Glad I can be of help 🙂

I didn't do a scene for the Ethereal Plane, as I "theatre of the mind" that section. But I can have a poke around and see if I can find a suitable map that I'm allowed to use and insert that. I forgot to move Rictavio over to that Arc. Will fix that. And I've lost my Gallows Speaker... Thank you for pointing out these errors. I'll get them fixed as part of the next release, which will be this week.

I didn't do anything special. When you hit level 3, that option (white + circle next to the characters Class on the sheet) automatically appears - it's triggered by the Class levelling table.

Yes, but it's not the Foundry version that may be the problem. The Automated Animations absolutely still works (doing an updated video on that soon, as there's been a few changes). DFreds does not work anything like this anymore - and if fact I don't use it at all now. The CPR (Cauldron of Plentiful Resources) has taken over the "good" bits of DFreds, but that's not quite available if you're on the 4.x DnD Games Engine. Might be worth looking at this video if you're interested in the Automation bits: ua-cam.com/video/dNZaDgvjWIk/v-deo.html

For some reason, when I follow the video it doesnt work as intended. TLDR, when I drag Shield Of faith onto the bar I get 2 of them. Regardless, if I grab the one called shield Of Faith by default, it says I dont have an active effect, and if I grab the one that drops as Toggle Convenient Effect, It only ever works on the caster, source.

@@november_falls6386 I think we need an updated Automated Animations video to ensure the recent changes are reflected, and clear up any confusion. I'll get on it this week.

Yeah, even prep'ing for this video I had to ensure I'd remembered it correctly. Glad it was able to answer your query.

I was looking at it before he released the updated Boss Bar. Not a lot has changed, but it was quite a while ago we did Token Flip, so it won't hurt to do it again for the newer subs.

Hey my dude. If that's working for you, then that's all that matters :)

Ah, yes. Roof issues and using tiles for them. Foundry doesn't do 3D, so it really struggles. The "Overhead" tile thing is kinda good, but a little clunky. And quite a lot of the roofing stuff relies on Vision to trigger for the player, but you're not using that... Do you use Ripper93's Levels? That does a much better job with roofs than the core Foundry.

@@clay_golem I am. There must be something I'm missing.

@@Xegethra Hmmm... It's been a while, so I'll have to go back at look at this again to see if I can work out what's going weird for you.

@@Xegethra Video dropping very shortly that I hope answers your question. Was easier to do a video than try to explain, and I had to play with it to ensure I was right. And apologies, I've repeatedly miss-pronounced your name in the video

Oh. Well, I wasn't expecting that... I realised that the original pic I chose as a placeholder (and didn't get around to updating) was of a piece of art by someone, and I didn't ask permission to use the image. Which was naughty. Maybe I'll reach out to them and see if I can use it again, with credit.

I need to look at that again, because you're right. Nice synergy.

Cool! Excellent timing. Mind dropping back a comment afterwards and let people know their reaction?

@@clay_golem Hey sorry, we didn't get that far :D then I'll have to wait for the next session.

@@captainkalli2685 No worries. The challenges of a DM - never goes the way you expect. But better it goes a little slower, than too fast 🙂

You're absolutely right that CoS really isn't suitable for CoS. You would have to reduce the times dramatically to both with the Bastion Turns. I thinking of using it to introduce the idea of Bastions, but I don't expect them to ever have the money or time to grow it, etc. I'd have to do something like burning down the Blue Water Inn, and moving those NPCs to the Bastion in order to keep the story intact, etc. Needs more thought and work.

Yeah, it's a slight pain. You can download you FA stuff to a local folder, and point Moulinette to that folder, just like to you other local stuff. It then appears in the listing. It is a shame you can't browse the stuff "live" as you end up having to use quite a bit of storage.

@@clay_golem That's the unfortunate route I've had to take. Seems FA rejected partnership with Moulinette for some reason.

Hi. This method has now been superseded by the CPR version of Darkness, and also doesn't apply to the DnD4.x version of the game engine. But the Macro is: const functionArgs = (typeof args !== 'undefined') ? args : undefined; if (functionArgs && args[0].tag === "OnUse" && ["preTargeting"].includes(args[0].macroPass)) { args[0].workflow.item.system['target']['type'] = "self"; args[0].workflow.item.system.range = { value: null, units: "self", long: null }; return; } async function placeTemplate({ origin, targetActor, targetToken } = {}) { Hooks.once("createMeasuredTemplate", async (template) => { const v12 = foundry.utils.isNewerVersion(game.version, 12); const data = v12 ? template : template.data; const grid = v12 ? canvas.grid : canvas.grid.grid.options.dimensions; console.warn(template) let radius = canvas.grid.size * (data.distance / grid.distance); const darknessSpellParams = { radius, x: data.x, y: data.y, distance: data.distance, targetActorId: targetActor.id, }; // await DAE.setFlag(targetActor, "darknessSpell", darknessSpellParams); await targetActor.update({ "flags.world.darknessSpell": { active: true, params: darknessSpellParams, }, }); canvas.scene.deleteEmbeddedDocuments("MeasuredTemplate", [template.id]); // console.warn("Darkness Spell", darknessSpellParams); await DDBImporter.lib.DDBMacros.executeDDBMacroAsGM("gm", "darkness", { origin: origin, effect: origin }, { args: ["on", darknessSpellParams] }); }); const measureTemplateData = { t: "circle", user: game.userId, distance: 15, direction: 0, x: 0, y: 0, fillColor: game.user.color, flags: { spellEffects: { Darkness: { ActorId: targetActor.id, }, }, }, }; const doc = new CONFIG.MeasuredTemplate.documentClass(measureTemplateData, { parent: canvas.scene }); const measureTemplate = new game.dnd5e.canvas.AbilityTemplate(doc); measureTemplate.actorSheet = targetActor.sheet; measureTemplate.drawPreview(); } const isSimpleDDBMacro = scope && foundry.utils.getProperty(scope, "flags.ddb-importer.ddbMacroFunction"); if (isSimpleDDBMacro) { if (!actor || !item) { console.warn("no actor or item selected", actor, item); return; } } console.warn("SimpleMacro", isSimpleDDBMacro); const lastArg = isSimpleDDBMacro ? {} : args[args.length - 1]; const tokenOrActor = isSimpleDDBMacro ? token ?? actor : await fromUuid(lastArg.actorUuid); const targetActor = isSimpleDDBMacro ? actor : tokenOrActor.actor ? tokenOrActor.actor : tokenOrActor; const origin = isSimpleDDBMacro ? item : await lastArg.origin; const flagData = foundry.utils.getProperty(actor, "flags.world.darknessSpell"); const isOn = isSimpleDDBMacro ?

@@clay_golem Thanks for that. I actually meant just the macro in the video. I dont know what this macro is :D I got it to work in the end so no need to post it i guess. This Macro really helped me since i am using an older version of basically everything. I am DMing CoS for a Year now and updating stuff mid campaign basically breaks everything. Trust me i tried. So this solution for darkness came in really handy for me. So thanks.

@@h_und_o9707 Ah right. Yes, updating mid-campaign is not a good idea. Don't mess with the stable setup. Of course, also running CoS right now, and am looking to ignore my own advice and update to DnD4.x.... But I'll loose a lot of automation 🤭

@@clay_golem I can not live without my automations. The whole every spell and template reduces hitpoints and and applies effects alone saved me soooo much time in every combat. I wish you good luck with the transition.

@@h_und_o9707 It won't be long before we have most of it in V12/DnD4.x now... Just waiting on a couple of fixes and then will do a video showing where it's at. Which will determine the timing of my transition.
