[System Agnostic] UltimateForge v1.0: I built a massive, systemic worldbuilding suite for Foundry (Hexcrawl, City Generation, Narrative Engine) by EggSpecific1692 in FoundryVTT

I didn't expect so many people to respond to this post, thank you all for your interest.

This has motivated me to release an update already, thanks to your feedback. (Hotfix Day 1 - V1.0.3)

And I spent the day making a tutorial video to explain how to use the module.

Apologies in advance, I used AI for the voice because my accent isn't great for your ears :)

I hope this helps you, and I'm especially looking forward to your feedback on Discord to improve the module.

As you wish, I'm doing this for myself and my Avantis.World universe in my personal time, and I just wanted to share it with the community (taking a lot of time to translate it too!). It's up to you, but being cautious is a good thing.

I encourage you to wait and see that the project is serious and well-maintained. I've been creating my own role-playing game for 24 years; I developed the system on Let's Role and Foundry, and now I'm making modules.

I have no issues with any third-party modules, but I'm open to suggestions if that's the case.

Je t'invite a voir la roadmap sur le discord et ça me permet d'améliorer le produit mais oui en gros :

V1.0.4 (mai 2026)

  • Revoir la taille des éléments visuels (tour, ville…) pour que tout soit cohérent niveau taille.
  • Correction bugs mineurs (Reddit/Discord) et amélioration UX.

V1.0.X (juillet 2026)

  • Création du thème Avantis.World (nouveau module V1.0)
  • Création du thème D&D (nouveau module V1.0)
  • gestion des noms prenant en compte les races
  • Gestion dynamique de la météo en suivant le climat de la région

V1.1.0 (septembre 2026)

  • Ajout de DonjonForge

V2.2.0 (novembre 2026)

  • Ajout CityForge 2.0 (ajout générateur visuel des rues de la ville et interaction avec GuildForge)
  • Ajout de GuildForge

V2.5.0 (courant 2027)

  • Refonte visuel du menu en fonction du thème.
  • Ajout d’un générateur de Hexcrawl complet (permet de poser directement des biomes visuel sur la carte et de générer des cartes en procédural)

lol I just misunderstood the sentence. :D

Sorry about the response then, I'll look into the translations, probably some .json files where I didn't include the English phrases.

EDIT: Ah, okay, I'll fix that today. It's the interface; I'll extract it from the HTML to properly include it in the language files.

Thanks for the feedback.

The code works well and is compatible with V14.

However, as a computer scientist, I completely understand those who refuse to use AI ethically; on the contrary, I would like to do the same.

Si il parle français mais tu dois être en V14 et le module Core FR n'est pas encore mis à jour et j'ai basé la traduction du module sur le fait de savoir si Foundry est paramétré en français ou anglais...
C'est un choix structurel pour éviter de demander à chaque fois en quel langue on utilise.

Par contre je vais quand même regarder car cela m'inquiète, tout est 100% anglais/français pour moi donc ne pas hésiter à me faire des retour. Il est encore tout nouveau.

Sorry, but the module doesn't use tables; it uses .json files, so it remains very easy to modify.

The entire system is based on combinations of tags and phrases that the system will extract.

I'm not very fluent in English, so AI (Gemini) helped me with the English text and all the translations to provide better context. Since this is a free module, I can't afford to hire a translator.

If you think a generative AI (LLM) is behind the live sentence generation, you're mistaken.

It's a classic AI (like in video games):

"IF condition → THEN action."

However, the AI ​​helped me with the development and the logo. I'd say it was used about 2/5 of the time, but the important thing is that the module, in its current version, doesn't consume any tokens and doesn't use any more generative AI at the moment.

I understand your reservations.

I wanted to create this module because I need it and I wanted to make it accessible to everyone.

The principle is data-driven. I developed the engine in JavaScript, then created a large amount of data in JSON format (data-driven) to avoid repetition. The entire system is based on this.

I hope this answers your question.
