You rock, and excited to try this for a tavern. A quick question (I am sure you get many), how do you tackle balconies? I love the idea of elevation but worried a lot like the roof that the vision will create lots of black pockets on the map.

How do you highlight the attack rolls? Yours are green when they hit and red when they miss. Is that a setting in Midi QOL? Thanks for the video!

Thanks for this. This just sped up my game 200% and I wouldn't have found it. Not using the body piles though as I I use Item Piles and a macro to convert the bodies to loot piles (highly recommend). The PC's love it.. even spending turns to grab weapons off the recently fallen. I think I have you to thank for turning me on to item piles as well. Thanks again.

there's a mod for dungeondraft that allows to import maps from watabou and it will auto generate walls, doors, light, stairs, and a few other things, it's really impressive.

Thank you for covering this. hoping it will lead to some great games for people. Thank you as always!

Sooo- Uhhhm, the grid should have been left on, because when you use it as a template it doesn't export the original map, just what you drew in Dungeon Draft. So the grid would make it easier to position and line it up, and when you export it- no grid! Also, could have sworn I used a tool at some point that added walls based on contrast, and you could drop a donjon map in and generate the walls based on where black and white met and it could detect the lines as doors- but I cant remember what it was- I think it was back in FVTT V9 era. Oh you could also match the resolutions and then when you import it to use as a guide you wouldnt need to do any aligning, it would just... fit, perfectly. Measure twice cut once! XD

You made it tempting to make to make my own!

Really appreciate this, needed to start using compendiums because my foundry was struggling with the hundreds of stat blocks, maps, etc.

So cool!

Just brilliant. I have DungeonDraft, but I never thought of using it this way. Next you can try is Dungeon Alchemist 😉

I've always liked this, and wish Inkarnate had the same functionality. Donjon i really good for all things random. In terms of maps, Dyson Logos has loads of maps on his website (does the black and white ones from the WotC adventures) and they're all available for free to use (could be a non-commerical thingy).

That's so good! Why didn't you used the manifest URL link tho? I have to admit I can't find where to put the file in my foundry VTT files...

Hi ClayGolem. How cool is that :)

WotC loves you.

I'm not making Baulder's Gate 3 --- I LOVE YOU!

Amazing. Super generous and top-notch Work thank you.

I noticed that Ireena can be set under prone and unconscious by right clicking and adding the statuses. Don't have to tell the players she had been bitten yet of course. (11:20) After running the game twice, this reloaded version is definitely a refresher and I can't wait to run it. Amazing work!

But how can you install mods that don't show up there, I can download the Json but there is no way to run it.

Oh hey! You used my Barovia village siege battle map! Lovely to see that out in the wild. Glad it’s gotten some use. The google drive folder has been updated with ungridded versions of things, just so you know. The roofs layer should work properly now. If you need any other specific things for this project, please let me know. Right now I’m working on a remake of the blue water inn with the sizes of the furniture adjusted, because the core map (and others that copy it exactly) just DO NOT fit with tokens, particularly if you’re using top down figures instead of portraits.

This amazing!!!!

I'm getting ready to run Curse of Strahd with the new 2024 rules (i.e., Foundry DnD 4.x), so this is super helpful! I've downloaded the module and things seem to be working well! The only issue I see so far is the Wolves in the "Wolf Battle" scene are missing the Actor reference. When I try to double click on them to open their stat sheet, I get the following error "This Token references an Actor which no longer exists within the World." I do see a Wolf actor in the Actors --> CG-COS-Actors --> Intro --> Monsters folder, so maybe you accidentally included Wolves from a separate compendium. Other than that, I AM LOVING THIS! THANK YOU!!

Dude just stumbled on your videos about 2 weeks ago, currently dm'ing strahd, as a first time DM, and your videos have been a godsend, especially your automation vids. Thanks brother

amazing!

Whooaah! Have you even noticed yourself how much work you have put in this? This is amazing for Your follovers. Thank You so much ❤

Thank you, great video! Also, as an unfortunate FYI: DNDbeyond removed Dragons of Stormwreck Isle as a free adventure :(

Really hoping you'll make a tutorial on the generic monster features! From what it sounds like, it'll make DMing a monster super fun and fluid, even in combat! :)

Thank you for this, amazing job. Do you also plan to share other parts of your adventures, such as the valley of Barovia part or Vallaki/van Richter tower as well ?

Nice work CG! Appreciate all the effort

Entertaining video as always. Regarding the spoilers for the players with the Scene Names ... You can set a different Navigation Name in the settings of the scene, so it shows the navigation name instead of the scene name to the players. For example, if your building a scene "Goblin Ambush" you can set the navigation name to "Perfectly save spot to rest" for the players.

Thanks for doing this for the community! 🙂

Hi ClayGolem. What a nice treat <3

How do you make your scene thumbnails so big?

The way you emulate "Levels" is quite clever!!

Thank you!

I haven’t seen that fading tile method yet to be able to bring up actors the players are speaking to before! It's such a cool idea to be able to run a sort of cinematic in a scene!! For _sure_ stealing that, dude. *That's so cool!!!*

Really wish people would list the system in the video discription so that people can know it's for dnd and not something anyone in foundry can do. The title kinda says it's for foundryvtt in general, video also doesn't say upfront it's for dnd. It's a good video just some thoughts on letting people who don't do DND know it's not for them.

Hello Clay, Hope you are doing well! Great to see the channel growing and enjoying the new videos. I have a question: We are still taking the leap to V12 but have run into some problems. I think the only option we have is to wait for updates but in case I am wrong, I'm asking anyway. I have installed and updated all of the mods listed in this video. However, I have also updated D&D to 4.0.3. This seems to have caused a huge problem because I now cannot use MidiQoL, Cauldron of Plentiful Resources (which is CP right?) and DAE. When I try to install them from Module Management I can't check their install box and get: "This module requires a maximum system version of 3.9.99 but your version is 4.0.3. We've been waiting for a week now but I think the only option we have is to wait right? I tried rolling back but Foundry doesn't have a backup point I can use. Do you have any idea how long it will take to get the updates? And in the future it is probably best not to update D&D, right? Or is this because of the new D&D version that is maybe also included? Thanks so much! Mike

Once it can be removed/auto-disappears after it's finished, I'm so setting this up as a "Come on, your turn is basically done. What are you doing?" timer, for when my players start wasting time and trawling their sheets for just one more thing to throw at things.

Hi ClayGolem

Ahh i got excited thinking this was now ready for v4 :(

mine is conflicting with build a bonus and other dependencies when i update

I believe (though, this could've just been the beta) that there is a setting you can change to automatically add those basic features to everyone you add onto a scene. It helps *A LOT* if you use the Combat HUD (forget the exact name) as it adds it to all players and NPCs as well, making it much easier for the DM to play with the enemies while the players work their characters.

Awesome! I was really worried that having the beta version was going to screw around with this. Keep to see what the update can do!

Rather than yeeting your compendium you should just go into your CPR settings and change the compendium priority so CPR is higher so it's stuff gets used over yours. So if you did something CPR hasn't, then it can keep using your own. Also... Get cartoon effects. It's a great free collection of animations that works great WITH JB2A's animations. There are a lot of simple and great looking animations it has that JB2A has no plans to create similar animations for because they already exist under the cartoon fxs. If you are going to use animations you should have both.

Love your videos. I think you are the only person making videos on the new books in foundry at the moment. Hard to find any others unless my search terms suck haha. Keep going!

Only probably dangerous? :P

Amazeballs! Just updated 🙂

Great Video, I have been messing with Traps for months now and this was super helpful. would you be open to video ideas? if so where?

Updated. Validating.

Only thing I don't like about SimpleCalendar is that there is no way to make it stop showing on load for all players. You have to configure each player individually. You also cannot create single days not associated with a month but we can create a 1 day month for that with no month name. I recreated the entire Warhammer Fantasy Imperial Calendar with phases for both moons, all 8 week days and seasons. Great stuff.
