how do you stop the players from seeing the other levels through lets say a window if the map is like a house or something

Best explanation of Shadowdark I have heard, great video.

I realize why you prefer to import even the ground level as an image now rather than universal VTT after trying the latter option myself. Because importing as universal VTT makes the walls from the first layer go from infinity to infininty, meaning you have to adjust them anyway. Resulting in almost the same amount of work as just making the walls from scratch. Anyway great and helpful video, even a year later.

so how do create the actor and get to the editor

What is chanpion's guild?

What mod are you using to show the character cards across the top of the screen and the order of initiative?

I do not understand for the live of me why foundry can't just give me a box for rows/columns instead of PPI and pixels. I mean its the freaking standard that most map makers give you rows/columns. So annoying, but thank you for clearing up the relation to foundrys scale in this.

Great video! I am currently planning running my first D&D campaign with Foundry (my first campaign as DM actually), and most, if not all, of my players will be new to Foundry too. So this video will be a great help for them to understand the basics. I would like to know what mod you are running for the character sheets, as you show a lot of what your sheets look like, and they are different from the standard sheet (small tip: for a beginner's guide it would maybe better to show the standard stuff that are not based on a specific mod the DM may or may not be using) But otherwise, very helpful guide!

We back baby!!!!!

Dnd Beyond is garbage, I ordered 2 x from them and they canceled my preorders... don't know why I paid and you can't contact them for clarification... I will personally not do business with them only other content creators!!!! DND beyond is out let's put them out of business!!!!

That mode more suit only for dnd5 or you can setting it up for other systems too?

Great breakdown. As a DM I have loved the chaotic nature of the magic in ShadowDark!

The Summon Import Wizard has never done a single thing for me. I follow all the directions, point to the files, hit Analyze, and it sits at 0% forever.

It is actually the installation part that would be interesting to know... since there is nothing in the readme how to do that.

Can you use this process to transfer to someone else’s macho for them to use a world you have created on their Foundry account?

How do you transfer it to a linux server?

Can you use custom classes on your server?

5:34 to 6:27 I think you misunderstand the intent of Cairn. The game is narrative over mechanics. The game is played through conversation and description. You do not make dice rolls to determine success of an action, ever (for example, all attacks hit and only damage is rolled). Instead, you describe what you do and how you do it, and the Warden determines if this is sensible or not. If it's sensible, it happens. A warden might decide that you simply cannot sneak past a guard dog, which is perfectly realistic, and the game says for difficulty, you should default to realism. You only roll saving throws, less than or equal to your abilities, to avoid harm.

This was insanely helpful, and all of that in just 7 minutes. Cheers!

*CHA'ALT*

The most passive aggressive power trippers I've ever played with were all in adventure league games

Hi im new to d n d and really keen to join my first game. Ive joined the discord and im going to sign up later today. Just a quick question do i need anything before i start such as dice or the players handbook?

I’m lucky to have an in person group or two to play in

Do you have any DM guides for Foundry, like a workflow? Thx.

Great summary of Shadowdark casting! just one small correction: the Bard's Magical Dabbler ability specifies that they roll a wizard mishap if they critically fail to cast a spell using a scroll or wand.

You make wonderful videos! 👏 I wanted to ask something unrelated: 🤔 I only have these words 🤔. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). I don't know what they are. What should I do with them? 🤷‍♀️

Fantastic tutorial, thanks!

Thanks for sharing such valuable information! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

The best spell casting system in my mind is from Genesys. Plus, the ability to create narrative game play with the advantages / triumphs etc make the game far more interesting. (Only responding you comment about being one of the best magic systems). Other than that, I do love shadowdark.

Good overview. I been running Al since 2016. It is fun.

Im getting this strange problem where when editing drawn object stairs im only getting Height (Top) and not Height (Bottom) ? Has anyone else encountered this issue.

How would you go about just downloading assets from the Forge to your home computer?

So im having a weird problem where it’s placing all the layers as roofs, i have the Better Roofs module installed and i have the option selected to over write it but I can’t get it to work

Half of the video is just waffling

how do i apply the settings i just downloaded?

thank you for explaining this. i was considering not buying shadowdark because the rules seemed so confusing to me. but this was easy to understand.

Only if you care about having unlimited storage, not being held at the whims of an online server, and not being slowly bled dry, while having to pay monthly for a product you already own and could otherwise run for free...

how to transfer back to foundry from forge?

You started to lose me at "rolling under is not intuitive to D&D players who want to see big numbers" and lost me completely at the difficulty levels. You're rolling a SAVE, not a skill check. The whole point is that there's a threat you're trying to avoid. If there's no threat (passed out drunk guard), you're not rolling at all, unless your players do something that MAKES IT a threat (sneaking past while escorting a struggling prisoner they're kidnapping from the palace). In OSR games you're not supposed to roll for everything, if the players have a good idea or ask the right question, they just succeed. If you really feel you need more granularity, add advantage/disadvantage mechanic on saves and you're all set.

Thanks, now I need to figure out how to get it to work with levels.

Thanks. Great how-to

Nice video, jumps straight into the meat and potatoes without a long intro. Were you running a game on your own accord, or did you sign up with some company that manages DMs like Baldman Games? I've been thinking about DM'ing for PAX West and ECCC.

5:53 ridiculous, sneaking past a passed-out guard shouldn't require a roll at all. At the same time, sneaking past a guard dog could just be a roll with disadvantage - roll 2d20 and beat 13 (or whatever your DEX is) on both. Easy!

Thank you for the help and going straight to the point!

Do I need to leave Foundry installed on my device if I have done this?

The "cutting the throat of a helpless foe" is an auto-kill even in D&D 5E - Firstly that's why you have DMs to adjudicate unusual situations, secondly that specific situation is noted as "this will kill you" is the outcome rules as written suggests. Can't believe I'm defending 5E, but that example was not a good one.

great video!

"Activate it through the normal means" yeah so what is that? isn't this a tutorial for that?

love the jack sparrow reference

From 1:08 to 1:10 you skip the most important part of the tutorial. If I knew where the Export world button already was, I wouldn't need the video.
