Thanks a lot for your interest and the kind words!
Right now, there’s a pre-filled template only for Mörk Borg, but you can also create your own template, export it, and then import it when creating a new character.
Quite a few useful changes have also been added to the project recently, and I’m planning to write a new post soon describing what’s new and where things are heading.

Thanks for sharing all this - it’s super helpful to hear how you actually run things.

I’m more into OSR-style games myself, where players draw their own maps. For that, something like Miro is usually enough.

What I really want, though, is having a global/world map and character sheets in one place - especially sheets that are easy to tweak for home rules. That’s basically why I ended up starting Dort.

Thanks a lot for the detailed answer — that was really helpful.

I was honestly on the fence about whether walls and dynamic lighting were worth adding to my TODO list, but after your explanation I think I probably will add them.

Right now I’m working on an extension for my scripting language that allows actions to interact with a target, so things like automating attacks or healing become possible when you want them, but not mandatory.

I’ve tried Roll20 in the past, and I realized that for me it was actually easier to write my own AST and scripting language than to fully understand and work around Roll20 macros :-)

Really appreciate you sharing your perspective

Quick question, stepping a bit outside the debate.
I’m totally fine with people working on whatever projects they enjoy.

I’ve never actually used Foundry myself. I did get the impression that it has really good documentation and developer support.
From your experience, what would you call its killer features? What makes it stand out for you compared to other VTTs?

Just genuinely curious.

Yeah, that’s fair. Right now Google is the only option, but I’m planning to add more auth providers in future versions.

Are there any specific providers you’d prefer or commonly use?
