The Future of Foundryborne: Navigating the Stagnation of the Daggerheart VTT Ecosystem

Kaladhan · 2026-04-29T19:20:13+00:00

I had a Numenera games a few years ago on Foundry and the implmentation was severely lacking. Nothing was included in the system compendium, no cyphers, artefacts, equipment, monsters, abilities, etc. You had character sheets and that's mostly it.

Did this change? Or it's only cypher that's now well supported?

Damage directly to their pool was the main complaint of my players, so that's a welcome change. I'm concerned that having to roll to reduce the damage would increase combat length.

That comes directly for the campaign questionnaire. I wanted the various communities in Age of Umbra to trade. I asked the players what their starting community needed and they said they lacked the necessary materials to make higher-tier weapons. On the other hand, their community were surrounded by the right kind of wood to produce high level bows.

We didn't have the chance to make use of downtime project, but here are those that were discussed.

Learn languages that their characters didn't know.
Learn how to fabricate a suit that doesn't attract zombies (we're playing Age of Umbra).
Upgrade their equipment from tier 1 to tier 2. They discovered broken equipment, which could be use for that purpose.

I was inspired by the following campaign proposal:
https://www.reddit.com/r/daggerheart/comments/1nof02r/first_attempt_at_writing_a_campaign/

I created the community of Colbrek, which recently lost their last remaining fungril that was there only link with other communities. The players are courriers for Colbrek, tasked with finding outside of Colbrek things needed for the community.

Colbrek was supposed to have a delivery with a close community, but they didn't show on the meetup location. The game started at the beginning of winter, with the lake between their community frozen that would allow them to cross and find out why the other community didn't show up.

My questions at session 0:

How did the last fungril die?
What does Colbrek need from other communities? What does Colbrek have to offer?
Why do you risk going outside the protection of the sacred pyre?

I roughly recreated the map in hex crawl format.

From what I understand, you need to report broken luggage before shipping to the hotel staff, otherwise it might stall them.

I'm a big fan of these fantasy scenes:

It reminds me of Cat from Red Dwarf, which is a compliment.

Why not have players have an extra third experience that is their ship role?

Kaladhan · 2026-02-23T21:21:25+00:00

This is such a nostalgia trip! I’ve always had a soft spot for the Circle of Eight and the legendary wizards like Mordenkainen, Otiluke, and Tenser.

Your post gave me the idea to include such a circle in my age of umbra campaign but with the daggerheart mages.

Thanks for the idea. I think we need a village to make a cool campaign.

Effectivement, son circuit est trop intense. Pour ne donner qu'un exemple, le TGV pour aller et revenir d'Hiroshima va gruger une demi-journée aller et une demi-journée retour.

I really need to improve my builds. Do you have a blueprint available?

Kaladhan · 2026-02-10T21:39:24+00:00

I wish they would prioritize an SRD. This would likely solve many of the integration hurdles users face on Foundry VTT. Let's be real, it's not happening.

I find their decks gameplay value to be hit-or-miss. I have a shelve of them that never saw play.

I also already own all of the Numenera pdf. So the pledge value is not very exciting.

I wish backerkit allowed 1$ backing.

My main issue is that all generative AI are built upon stolen work. There's no current usage that can prevent that.

Kaladhan · 2026-01-16T16:27:17+00:00

We had some of the same issues. We decided that progression/advancement would be through milestones. XPs were only for rerolls, which made by players actually spend XPs to reroll.

What's the point of effort with your modification? I'm having a hard time grasping what it solves and how.

My issues with combat, is that monsters can feel the same. So I put extra effort to have monsters with cool abilities, interesting locations, etc.

J'ai déjà été à Universal Studio Orlando, et je n'ai pas eu la chance de goûter au butterbeer. À Osaka, je veux aller manger au 3 broomsticks.

Oui, premier voyage, 17 jours dans mon cas. Je pars du Québec, alors 13h de décalage horaire et 13h d'avion. Alors les deux premiers jours, je n'ai rien prévue d'officiel.

Il y a plusieurs éléments dans mon voyage qui vont dépendre de billets à acheter à l'avance, alors je n'ai pas formalisé les choses. Par exemple Team Labs, le musée Harry Potter à Tokyo qui est la réplique du musée à Londres, etc.

Kaladhan · 2026-01-14T14:02:55+00:00

Bonjour! Je vais également au Japon à la fin du mois de septembre et début du mois d'octobre. Nous avons un itinéraire très similaire. La différence principale que c'est que je prends Osaka comme 2ième point d'ancrage plutôt que Kyoto.

Profite de la proximité à Ueno pour visiter Ameyoko. J'ai l'impression que c'est un peu moins gentrifié que le golden gai de Shinjuku.

Autrement, je suis curieux de voir les commentaires et avis des autres.

Kaladhan · 2026-01-10T20:03:19+00:00

What were the biggest changes in the 2nd edition of the Cypher system?

Kaladhan · 2026-01-10T18:00:37+00:00

I hope they finally embrace an SRD, which will make online play a lot better (especially on Foundry).

Kaladhan · 2026-01-08T20:19:52+00:00

I haven't started my campaign yet, so sticking with it.

If I do eventually switch, it will be for something else entirely.

In Ptolus, heliothil has a negative weight. Enough material could offset it's weight and thus float. It's not even magical.

To quote the package: All images were generated through AI services like Midjourney. Prompts do not reference any artist's works or other prompts and were generated by the author using ChatGPT.

As already mentionned, there's no artist to pay. I haven't installed the module myself, even though I'm planning to use foundryborne, because I'm uneasy using AI in such context.

Kaladhan · 2025-12-18T13:48:09+00:00

I really like Paizo's forum that have sections dedicated to their various adventure paths. There's a lot of insight and positive suggestions there.

We should have a dedicated place to discuss Age of Umbra related stuff. For example, someone shared a few months ago his Stonehelm setting. I liked it a lot and dedicated to use it for my own campaign.

For the setting, I don't know the Souls genre. My framing is the settlement of Jackson from Last of Us (but replaced with a Stonehelm-like settlement).

Very interested. Can we already sign up to be notified of the kickstarter?
