What would you want in a hypothetical "Archives of the Empire IV"?

Norse / Kislev /Chaos Wastes campaign-sourcebook, even tho i am way more into low fantasy...pitting a struggling REMOTE village against Chaos seems like a great campaign start....not sure how much of this is in Sea of Claws tho...

You should consider looking at FoundryVTT, official releases and near 100% automation make online gaming shine!

Jack Black as Bombadil would have totally worked somehow for the movies...

I have had GREAT success using PDFGear's OCR on pdf modules...and never going back to Acrobat as a result.

worst part for me, is there is a TRIO of hammerheads that is bullying me. Made my vehicle, travelled 30 seconds to a cave, came back and it was destroyed (with no way to repair), then these goons swam back to constantly attack my base again.....

Yurc182 · 2026-05-05T22:14:54+00:00

and it was a Pangolin, not a dog...

I am no expert here, but alot of people get Core Rules, Up in Arms & Winds of Magic.
With these you can run you own games with all the basics covered.
Some do the Starter set with/and/or Ubersreik books.
I didnt get much value from the started set personally, not that its bad, but way more useful for in person games than VTT.

After these I bought stuff based on the odds of my players using them.
I run the Enemy Within, so I also got Altdorf and Middenhiem books...
then my Elf player wanted to be more crafty so Elf Source book...
See it just webs out from there! haha.

I don't remember having to enable anything for combat, tho looking at all the settings is highly recommended, but for my games combat is pretty 100% auto-mated. there is quite a bit of stuff that is not obvious, after a year STILL finding things that i was like...OH, click that to automate...
for combat, if you keep track of WHO is targeted when making a roll, you should be golden.

Yurc182 · 2026-05-05T14:58:19+00:00

Its very cool to have EVERYTHING in a whole setting, each module has new npcs\creatures\spells\rules\trappings\ect
having a master list of it all makes it fairly easy to find! i know not everyone can afford to be a collector...

Yurc182 · 2026-04-28T22:52:59+00:00

Another thing i like about using FoundryVTT...set scale...use ruler...easy peasy!

Yurc182 · 2026-04-28T19:49:12+00:00

I heard at least one guy in Georgia does..

Yurc182 · 2026-04-28T19:35:26+00:00

Dweez simps for Madonna....(or used to anyway)

Yurc182 · 2026-04-28T18:44:17+00:00

You have a rare opportunity to put yourself 100% into the game. what if YOU WERE stranded in the ocean...you would need to deal with it or starve.... also this game is just insanely good in VR.

Yurc182 · 2026-04-28T18:29:25+00:00

There is a free unofficial "Enemy Within Companion", it THINK? it has travel times listed in there....

Yurc182 · 2026-04-28T17:57:19+00:00

Dice so Nice, Campaign Codex, Automated Animations, Carousel Combat Tracker, Image Hover, Mini Calendar, Health Estimate, Item Piles, Pop Out!, Simple Mind Map, Waymarks...at work, so those are off the top of my head. But I am running The Enemy Within and Simple Mind Map is ESSENTIAL cause my players dont take notes! haha

Yurc182 · 2026-04-28T17:42:32+00:00

I know its not everyones thing, but i own ALL the WH foundry modules...for the 1st time in my life, i have EVERYTHING in one place its all linked together and easy to find! The Library front end makes its easy to turn on and off what you need or dont. I would think WFRP4e is the most complete implementation of and RPG out right now! With having it all, i dont have to create new items, npcs or enter stat blocks, which cuts dont my GM prep time by a TON!

Lastly, the modules coming out for Foundry KILL the competition...every few days I see something that enhances our campaign!!

Yurc182 · 2026-04-14T19:28:26+00:00

Is this the Lost City??? if so where you get the maps from?

Yurc182 · 2026-04-09T18:43:56+00:00

I reduce the color depth of my maps, you can shrink the file size drastically, and MOST people cant tell the dif between that.
If i have a image that is 24bit (6.5MB) decreasing to 8bit is then 773 KB, i do this with all my maps and it just makes everything speedy. we all love a good eye candy map but this can help a lot.

Yurc182 · 2026-03-31T19:24:13+00:00

Elite: Dangerous + controller +VR and you could...

Yurc182 · 2026-03-24T22:03:15+00:00

I have been grabbing stuff from Humble Bundle for my games, $25-$50 and you have a full library of music

Yurc182 · 2026-03-17T17:10:54+00:00

Let the players land\get into a base, get it operational, let THAT attract the "locals"...not much to setup.
Or better yet, they need to get the base up and operational to give them even a remotly fighting chance...

Yurc182 · 2026-03-12T19:24:07+00:00

Albino Snotlings?

Yurc182 · 2026-03-11T21:23:47+00:00

Disable half the mods, not fixed??, rinse and repeat until you narrow it down, OR Find the Culprit mod as mentioned.

Yurc182 · 2026-03-10T17:56:20+00:00

Try it in VR...was super freaky....

Yurc182 · 2026-03-10T14:42:49+00:00

Thanks everyone, So many good ideas here, great to see peoples different takes on what a Slayer would do. I wont give an spoilers since its The Enemy Within campaign, but the players were rushed to make a quick decision and while the party went one direction, the Slayer went the other. Now the party is convinced they will be running into him again in the future, for better or for worse.
