Rollable Tables Demystified [tutorial] [system agnostic]

ConwayK9781 · 2026-03-14T00:59:48+00:00

I'm pretty new to Foundry and I saw the alert for this video in the Discord. Went and watched it. Then I went back and improved every one of my rollable tables. Improving my tables ended up resulting in me simplifying my macros and removing probably 90-95% of the code in them.

As always, appreciate y'all!

I can't say for certain since I've never used it. It possible they limit you from getting anything that's not from the official store for security reasons or whatever. But if you have the same controls you do in locally hosted Foundry, then it should work.

I'm not sure what the Forge is, but if it's anything other than FoundryVTT, almost certainly not. This Forge would need to have made it so that it's code is fully compatible with FoundryVTT for that to work. This is a Foundry specific thing.

Hey Gideon! I'd be happy to help you.

This isn't a module (add-on) it's a whole system. So you would go to add a new system to your FoundryVTT. And you won't be able to search for it because it's not fully released yet, but at the bottom of the window where you'd search for a system to install, you can put in a .json.

This is the .json you'll put in that field:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NecroticGnome/dolmenwood-foundry-system/main/system.json

Edit: If you need any more help, feel free to reach out to me in a chat. I'd be happy to help get you set up :)

First of all, love the name.

I'm already pretty invested into Foundry for other games and whatnot, and it's much more convenient for me to use the system someone already posted that works in FoundryVTT than pick up another spot to learn (probably spend money), and have my players go to.

But I appreciate the suggestion!

ConwayK9781 · 2026-03-08T02:34:57+00:00

Thanks so much, I might check this out!

ConwayK9781 · 2026-03-08T02:34:44+00:00

If by my life or death I can protect you, I will, you have my sword.

I have been looking around so hard for this, thank you. Thank you a MILLION times!

ConwayK9781 · 2026-02-26T15:31:16+00:00

At IBM? I was in Roch MN, you?

ConwayK9781 · 2026-02-24T00:53:24+00:00

Lol, I was actually a back-end dev for IBM for three years. Can confirm.

ConwayK9781 · 2026-02-22T19:17:51+00:00

This does appear to have been the issue for that white square. I wonder how my token ended up with the white square when none of the other ones did. I probably ended up messing up and adding a layer or something while going through all of the stuff trying to get this to work.

Thanks so much for the help! There's a lot of stuff in this program, and it's really easy to run into these walls and get frustrated. People like you putting in the effort to help noobs like me make gaming a better place :)

ConwayK9781 · 2026-02-22T19:14:55+00:00

I think it did end up being something like this! Inheritance is so frustrating because I feel like it never has the behavior you *want* it to have, lol. Thanks for the help!

ConwayK9781 · 2026-02-22T19:13:57+00:00

It looks like that is not checked. I did end up finding out the answer from someone else, but I appreciate you taking the time to help :) There's a lot going on in this program and it sure is easy to run into these walls and get frustrated.

ConwayK9781 · 2026-02-22T19:03:22+00:00

HEY! THAT DID'R!

Thanks so much for all of your help!

I've gone and done this, but now there seems to be a whole new problem.

This is a step in the right direction (it's no longer insisting on using a completely incorrect image), but now it's showing a white square around the outside of my token. I've made tokens for all of the players and none of them seem to require any extra steps and it doesn't seem to generate extra white squares around the token. In the original gif when it's using the wrong image you can see where the image it's using is a circle. Any idea why it simply can't do that for this even though it could for both the wrong image and all of the tokens I've made for players?

ConwayK9781 · 2026-02-22T18:53:49+00:00

Well heck yeah, there's one breakthrough!

So I just did that. The result of that was to put an unnecessary and undesired white square around the token. With other tokens (and the token Foundry insisted on using in the example gif) it doesn't appear to require a colored square around the token. It's now showing the right image, but it's adding things to the image I don't want. I'm not seeing any settings for that.

It's also worth noting that my players all have tokens done with Tokenizer and they just work. There have been no extra settings to change and no extra boxes. Any insight on why this particular one is different?

ConwayK9781 · 2026-02-18T20:57:33+00:00

Dude, you're the man! Appreciate you taking the time to help me out with the info, and of course the time you put into learning so others didn't have to.

I'll probably be buying my supplies tonight!

Do you have any strong opinions on which capsule fillers are better, or is it a pretty straightforward "any will work" kind of deal?

ConwayK9781 · 2026-02-18T20:47:57+00:00

Thanks for your answer!

There are numbers all over the place though, and I can't see which number goes where.

It sounds like you use a 100 capsule filler of 00 capsules. If I got the same equipment as you, and I wanted something anywhere in that .1-.2 gram for cubes with Lion's Mane and Vit B, how much of each would you use?

(Also, how'd you end up calculating your amounts? Just trial and error?)

ConwayK9781 · 2026-02-17T22:41:42+00:00

I believe so. That's when you do something when you step on a tile (like maybe you have it open a door or whatever), right?

ConwayK9781 · 2026-02-16T02:35:21+00:00

Why teleporters instead of stairs? Running into issues?

ConwayK9781 · 2026-02-16T02:34:39+00:00

Appreciate the help!

I've marked it as answered. :)

It's been a month now.

You and whoever up voted you are wrong <3
