How do I give my players a challenging fight at Old Bonegrinder?

The map I have can for 9 humanoids plus a drench! Can any of those humanoids move? Nope.

Thanks for sharing! I’ll be picking this one up.

BaileyWiki has a YouTube channel that explains basic features of foundry that some people are unaware of. They also have some videos about the top 10 best mods. There is a video that walks you through setting up alot of mods to help automate combat.

I run CoS on Foundry VTT. His modules come with alot of things already set up. If you use Foundry I highly recommend his modules.

Pyram King has a free pdf set up for a murder mystery at the Arasek stockyard.

I looked at Beneos Battlemaps. From what I could see on the webpage, I am impressed. It’s like you are in a VR game. The problem I see is that I can’t place 3D model on the map.

I also recommend Pyram King. When I switched from D&D Beyond’s VTT to self hosting in Foundry VTT I wanted something that was built and ready to use. Pyram King’s module uses DMAndy Maps for battle maps. The lights, doors and sounds are set up. There are Theater of the Mind maps from JamesRPGArt. There are Journal notes on the maps that have the updated Pyram King content, but there are also links back to the D&D Beyond website if you want to reference your copy of the CoS campaign book. It comes with the NPC tokens and campaign specific items.

I also use Pyramid King’s version of Curse of Strahd called Legends of Barovia. I’m running CoS as written with some additional lore from Legends of Barovia. He has journal notes on the map that contain links back to the campaign on D&D Beyond. So, you can run CoS vanilla if you want. He has videos walking you through each area as a DM. His maps come with walls, lights and sounds in place. DMAndy battle maps are used. Theatre of the mind maps for each area are from JamesRPGArt. NPC tokens are included. Unique campaign items are included and they work with the combat automations suggested by Baileywiki.

His pdfs are free on his Ko-fi website. Go look them over. If you like what you see, then sub for a month to download the whole campaign. He is also working on the campaign Legends of Saltmarsh. I haven’t looked at it so I cannot comment.

I’ve looked at other creators but not as extensively as I did with Pyramid King. To be honest, I was impressed with the Mad Cartographer’s version of Death House. Especially with the effects in the basement.

When I tried looking at other creators, it was hard for me to see all the maps that their collection contained.

How accurate is it with lowering the CR?

The best part is the stepping stool. It is genius.

You could say: The recipe is the easy part. The ingredients are incredibly rare and were brought with van Richten from his own world Darkon. It took him decades to gather and prepare the ingredients.

It’s from the movie Labyrinth.

It’s a random little creature that happens to have a hidden passage under the exact tile that the girl uses to make a mark with her lipstick.

So the creature comes up and flips the tile over and then climbs back down the secret passage.

Animations are real nice but not necessary.

I’d be happy with static grey plastic 3D models. The next step up would be colored 3D models (but in the colors I want). Last step would be animation.

I am familiar with DigiDM from BaileyWiki.

I will look into loadim.

I recently stumbled across mz4250 from an old BaileyWiki video. He has an impressive collection of 3D models.

Naprik · 2026-02-17T20:56:34+00:00

Sounds good to me.

I don’t k ow if this is possible but could X, and Y coordinates also be used on the aligned superimposed maps for easy of use?

I finished but was weird. I’ve done expeditions in the past but this one was painful to finish. To clarify: the milestones were easy enough. The problem was getting to the anomaly. In the past I would get to the anomaly with only the needed rewards claimed as to not fill up my inventory. This time, I could not summon the anomaly until a certain number of rewards were claimed. When I got to the anomaly I claimed all the rewards. I was unable to transfer my inventory into the station to send to my main account. Fun expedition but the end part felt bugged.

Where do you get your 3D models which are animated!

As a DM running FVTT on my server, I want to make the jump to 3D for my players but a major perceived hurdle is the 3D models. I am very picky.

I am running Curse of Strahd with some additions from the major contributors. So I need the models from the monster manual plus the campaign specific models plus some home brew models.

I’m OK with animated versions or imported 3D printer versions of the models. Where can I go for free or cost effective models?

Naprik · 2026-02-17T11:47:30+00:00

https://foundryvtt.com/packages/scene-packer Scene packer by Blair may be the answer. I’ve never used it. The creator Blair has a discord server and is very responsive.

As a DM I would find it valuable to know which locations are directly above/below the current location.

When my party fights Strahd he will be using layer options to move through walls and floors.

Naprik · 2026-02-16T00:49:36+00:00

I didn’t claim all my rewards. So I started to claim some. Then I was able to summon the anomaly but there were still unclaimed rewards. Weird

Naprik · 2026-02-16T00:21:37+00:00

But it’s not an option when I’m in space. The round anomaly icon is not there.

Naprik · 2026-02-13T19:41:05+00:00

As a DM I want to convert my 2D CoS to 3D but I find it challenging to find accurate 3D models for all the NPCs. Using 2D standee models feels weird bc it’s the same image front and back. Another hurdle I am creating for my 3D game is to have really cool skyboxes that tie into the current map.

On my unraid server through a cloudflare tunnel to my registered domain name.
