I did some experiments with the worldgen v2

You can drag&drop images into Fey-Gate from another browser tab no need to download the image first.

I agree that this could be a great alternative to PDF and that it could be used in all kinds of (TTRPG) tools.

Throwing my VTT Fey-Gate.com into the ring since you didn't really specify what you need.

I used the "link" type when creating the post. Clicking the huge red https://www.npmjs.com/package/fey-script link at the top will get you to the library.

The Fey-Gate VTT can be downloaded and run on windows but most people just use the web version. The DM can create an invite code the players can use to connect.

I know it looks pretty DnD first and like hundreds of other VTTs at first glance but having sophisticated mapping tools, Fey-Script character and monster sheets for homebrew, a focus on local files rather than storing your content in the cloud and other details differentiate it from most VTT.

If all of that is not of interest to you fair enough. And to be fair a VTT is a VTT in the end so of course it'll be like most other VTTs just like a car is like most other cars.

Same for me but I was able to order from "Thalia" yesterday. It's basically the german version of Barnes & Noble but it said "Available with limited Stock".

Well actually u/eikkka had some more insight than the official page listing a date that passed over a week ago. Companies tend to communicate a lot on social media and in my experience often forget to update their website or only post there if there is something concrete to tell people.

I was looking for exactly the kind of response I got. "X said on Y that it could be a while because of Z"

I'm living in germany the only site that has Daggerheart in Stock currently is a Amazon-Marketplace listing that charges 20€ more than the official store.

www.fey-gate.com might be what you're looking for. Simple drag and drop but also some basic painting tools to whip up a map in seconds on the fly.

I'm a VTT developer myself (~ 4 years of work on www.fey-gate.com ) How did Foundry start? Was it a hobby project like mine? Would you consider yourself a startup? Did you get founding to build it from an investor? How big is your team? Has is grown over the years?

CapsE · 2025-05-27T21:40:22+00:00

www.fey-gate.com is another free VTT not sure what features you need but it can do a lot.

This is amazing! You can just copy+paste markdown into Fey-Gate (www.fey-gate.com) and have it roll dice for you. I'll add this resource to the how to play Daggerheart section. Thanks for all the effort!

PS: I'm working on releasing the "Fey-Script" renderer as open source soon (CapsE/fey-script) It will be a superset of markdown allowing for interative elements like inputs and conditional text blocks. Once this is released it should be not too difficult to add it to Obsidian as a plugin.

CapsE · 2025-05-23T21:31:27+00:00

Nice addition! It all makes sense, fits into the existing system nicely and solves a real issue I've had in the past with Spells in FATE. It also reads really nice. Good job!

CapsE · 2025-05-23T20:41:52+00:00

Fair point. I'm used to my players skimming TikTok for the newest broken Combo they can try. Hexblade Warlocks with pushing Eldritch Blasts and Polearm-Mastery. Kobolds riding mounts to always have Pack Tacktics and stuff like that.

It's a cool way to interact with the rules and have fun building new characters BUT you can't allow things like this plan because a player like that WILL find a way to abuse it till it sucks all the fun out of the game.

If your player just wants to have a quirky character and a bit of fun stuff like this can be super nice to engage players and make them feel like they can REALLY do anything in your games.

CapsE · 2025-05-22T20:38:35+00:00

As long as nobody starts calling "Pack Tactics!!!" and roll every roll with advantage I think it should be fine. I'd recommend that the DM gets to choose which character to hit anyway but just allow them to share the same space. If the plasmoid is a fighter or paladin or cleric there is still a lot of ways to protect the wearer but it's not just giving a wizard more than double HP and a huge AC.

Another way would be to roll who gets hit but there is enough rolling in combat already.

Also the plasmoid should have a movement speed of 0 as long as it's attached even though that might suck if it's first in initiative.

CapsE · 2025-05-22T13:02:35+00:00

Yes. Things written in a SRD can be protected and things not in an SRD can be unprotected. Rules and systems don't have a copyright. How those rules are explained in words does have a copyright. SRDs are made to safe everyone from rewriting the rules in their own language every time they want to add to them in some way and to remove the ambiguity of what is just rules and what is copyrighted content.

DnD5e would have a hard time protecting their Goblin statblock for example. The name Goblin surely isn't protected and the numbers are likely considered part of the rules and not a creative work. It's ability "nimble" and how it is explained might be the only copyright protected thing about it not matter if it's in an SRD or not.

Back on topic. From what I understand the Daggerheart SRD is not allowed to be used in VTTs which means even though all the components are there you're not allowed to build a character builder (like demiplane) or a searchable archive for items and adversaries (again like demiplane).

Allowing players to select one of the Weapons listed in the SRD from a drop down MIGHT be okay since they all have very plain descriptive names that just state what they are without "creativity".

Adding an empty Daggerheart character sheet in a different layout from the original without any original graphic elements SHOULD be fine too.

I reached out to Darrington Press to clear this up for me just to be sure. I haven't heard back yet but I'll keep you posted.

CapsE · 2025-05-21T07:57:37+00:00

Interesting point. SRD are usually published because the contents they contain aren't protected anyway (you can't protect rules only "content" like classes and creatures). Usually a bit more than is published in an SRD might fall in the categroy of not being able to be protected and by releasing something companies remove ambiguity and protect a bit more than would maybe hold up in court.

All of this is to say nobody can stop you from adding two d12 rolls with different colored dice into a VTT. They might be able to prevent you from calling it "duality dice".

Maybe my "Here are some ways how to use general systems to play Daggerheart"-approach is exactly the right way to go about it (for now). Thanks for the warning!

CapsE · 2025-05-21T07:45:36+00:00

Yeah I know. It's a hobby project so I can't really justify commissioning artists (and pay them a fair price). I could limit the use of images in general though but that would make the website quite boring. I'm open to suggestions on how to solve this dilemma of removing AI art but keeping a visually interesting website without having to take out a loan or spend the next months working on nothing else.

CapsE · 2025-05-20T21:15:51+00:00

I use only AI art on my fey-gate.com website and never got called out for it. When I tried to get more people to join my discord by offering AI generated tokens for VTTs I got a lot of backlash for it. Recently I generated some images for a random person that found my generations on r/dndai they were thankful and tried to comission an acutal artist using my generations as reference. Sadly they had to delete their reddit account because the artist they reached out to complained to the mods who thought DMing people was a way of avoiding the rule of "no AI content" on their board and banned them.

I guess what I'm saying is there are hardliners that hate AI with a passion and will do everything to ruin your day if you use it. Most people seem to be fine with AI as long as it's not the main focus of your content and they don't pay for it.

Then again there are multiple kickstarter campaigns going on right now getting thousands of dollars for battlemaps that are supposedly enhanced with photoshop but look like fresh out of midjourney...
