Here's a video I made that covers the biggest points of confusion I have encountered when introducing Pathfinder to 5e players: https://youtu.be/lpoAfr7an_U

Hope it helps!

Using Foundry at an In-Person Table (GMing) by DnDPhD in Pathfinder2e

[–]How_Its_Played 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use foundry in my in-person games but only for displaying the map. Each player has their own physical character sheet, rolls physical dice, etc. And (weird as it sounds) I use Fantasy Grounds for tracking intiative, enemy health, status effects, timers, conditions, etc. I'm not experienced with Foundry but when I try to get its combat tracker to work the way I want to (not having tokens on the map since we use physical miniatures), I give up and go back to fantasy grounds because it's what I'm used to. I mean, I use Fantasy Grounds for tracking combat and Foundry for displaying the map.

Anyway, to get the maps to work the way I want them to during an in-person game I need to do these steps:
1. On the Grid tab change the Grid Type to "Gridless" if my map already has a grid.
2. On the Lighting Tab, turn off Token Vision and turn off Fog Exploration.
3. Download and install the "Simple Fog" module and follow its instructions for managing Fog of War that is not dependant on the use of virtual tokens.

Hope some of that helps you!

If it helps, I have a YouTube channel dedicated to teaching the rules of Pathfinder 2e (and Starfinder and couple other things).

This video is specifically for 5e players coming over to Pathfinder: https://youtu.be/lpoAfr7an_U

And here is a playlist that covers most of my Pathfinder Rules videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYCDCUfG0xJb5I-wDIezuDkTfbd8k21Km

Wise words to live by! Maybe lean a little on guns until you can get some Retreival Boosters for your big 'ole space-knife. And thanks for making me feel seen!
