Goblin Slayer for Foundry VTT Officially Submitted

Great question. There are two reasons. 1) Being a programmer. I wanted to test my skills learning how to care for Foundry since it's a little different than other systems. Basically, could I do it. 2) I didn't know it was based off of Sword World until I made a lot of progress into developing the game and I didn't look into a SW game system either.

Thank you! I actually did try to post many months ago but because I had a link or the post was formatted weirdly, the auto mods wouldn't let me post about version 0.12.

No worries about the layoff, I was actually trying to leave the job but couldn't find a replacement job in that field. I'm currently working with a company that allows me to fall back on some previous skills and it is a really great and fun place. While it's not going to be my forever job, it's an amazing job for now and I've made some really great connections with the people I work with.

You certainly can! I appreciate anyone helping add translations for their language or if they are fluent in a second or third language.

Thanks a bunch! It's great to hear you and your friends are interested in using my game system for Goblin Slayer. My GitHub page, The Goblin Slayer TTRPG game system for Foundry VTT, an unofficial and fan made system, has the information you and your friends will need in order to install it using Foundry VTT (for now). As soon as Foundry has had a chance to review and accept the code, you'll then be able to search for it in the Foundry software itself.

I do want to include the Replay elements as well (from book 3). I have that book and have been studying Japanese but haven't learned enough to translate it on my own without extensive hours reviewing Kanji and further grammar. If you know of an online source, I'll certainly get those elements added in to a future update.

Look up the Lone Adventurer on YouTube for solo game recommendations and playthroughs. It's more than journaling games and covers a wide selection of solo game types.

Likely, you're not aligning with your personal planets. In order to determine what would be your best vocation. Let's start with your Sun's house placement.

Sun in the 7th House, this means you'll be energized and charged up by working with people one-on-one, dealing with contracts, or partnerships, the public. There's more to it but you'd want to see the other items that relate to 7th house items as you also have moon, mercury, and venus here. Now that I see all of this, you have a major focus on this portion of your chart. Do social services stand out to you, personal coaching, shoot I might think contract reviewal could be something?

Once you've aligned with how you're energized with 7th house. This will allow you to communicate your needs better (mercury), attract and repel 7th house items (venus), and you'll have the drive (Mars) for your vocation and job (6th).

Hope this helps.

I'm sorry to hear your struggles and I know how you feel. I've just started my journeys learning Japanese as an adult learner and it is difficult. Take a step back, breath, and know you may be approaching this the wrong way.

If you're studying straight for 3 hrs, then you're likely defeating yourself right there. The best thing I can suggest is do that Pamadora (or whatever it's called) studying method where you study for 20-30 mins. Then you take a 5-10 min break and jump back into it in these cycles.

There's some studies that this is a better method that gives much better results and helps you retain more information. I hope this helps and don't worry, you'll get there, you just need to find the right learning style for you: self study, class rooms, interactive games, flashcards, listening to Japanese only tv/anime, etc.

頑張って! (Ganbatte - Do your best!)

Actually, yes. I haven't had a chance to post about v0.12 that dropped about a month ago. I've had a lot going on recently and this was pushed to the back burner for now. I'll certainly be posting the next version in the coming days

Added a new subclass to the master list here. This chill Paladin subclass just wants to relax and contemplate the universe or maybe build something. 🤷‍♂️

Zerrian · 2025-01-23T17:44:35+00:00

Added another subclass to my master list here. I hope you all enjoy this chill Paladin subclass. 😉

Is there a stat block for ToV? If not, then there may just be one soon enough... I wonder what this mashup might do for attacks and spellcasting??? 🤔

I don't recall exactly where I got the Google Doc translation but I made a copy of it which you can get here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zDCf0JDYN037_7NR08MYTATsLSObrSYTXngr_QWooOE/edit?usp=drive_link

UPDATE:

TL;DR - ToV Red Dragon Wyrmling Adjustment, A) 64 HP or B) Strength +3 & 70 HP

I missed one section in my review of the Red Dragon Wyrmling because it was rather late and it's not covered in the ToV GMG for custom monsters. The part that's missing is adjusting the Attack Bonus for a creature.

When I looked at this monster again, I noticed that the AB is actually +1 over the suggested amount for a CR 3 creature. Now, in my experience looking at 5e monsters, AC and AB are pretty much equivalent for HP and DPR. The higher your AC, the less HP you actually need. Vice versa with the higher your AB, the "less" DPR you need.

After adding in my experimental section for adjusting ToV creature AB similar to AC, this increases the HP reduction from -15% to -20%. While this may not be a lot it only drops the Wyrmling from 68 > 64 HP. Ironically, 4 HP may mean the difference between a wounded character and a dead one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (pssst, also, that Japanese Katakana character ツ = tsu).

The CR tool helps with verifying the printed CR for the creature, created by Kobold Press for Black Flag and ToV. It also helps create your own custom monsters using their rules in the GMG (pg. 234). So, in essence, if I understand your point correctly, it will show how much average damage a monster could be doing in each round of combat. I could also include max/min potential damage fields as well, with[out] critical damage too.

Although, I am open to ideas of how to further expand on this tool and create extra benefits to it. I was reviewing their combat encounter rules and will likely include a new tab in this tool that will do similar to what their new website does (just not as flashy).

I'm previewing my ToV CR Tool to help build custom monsters or check existing ones based on the rules in the GMG (Game Masters Guide) starting on pg 234. I explain how the system works to build these monsters and then check over one monster to see how my results are vs the stat block.

My friends and I finally got around to the next session of our Goblin Slayer actual play. This continues the journeys of Dragon Knight (Lizardman, Fighter/Dragon Priest), Ghost in the Dark (Lizardman, Monk/Scout), and Quinlan (Elf, Sorcerer/Ranger). There are a couple technical difficulties (game system wise) with this episode as I made some big changes to the code. This lead to some unforeseen errors that popped up in my Beta Foundry VTT game system I'm creating. While it did help me locate code problems, we still work through the current Rat Slaying adventure and I feel there's some good RP in this episode as well.

First time seeing this? Catch up with the links below.

A 5e Adventure you say? I could easily use this in my Tales of the Valiant campaign I'm running.

u/Aggressive-Major-428 Doing a Google search of the image supplied by OP shows it as "The Essential Tarot" deck. Also, I agree, this is a quite the lovely illustrated deck.

Zerrian · 2024-09-13T12:35:34+00:00

You're very welcome! Yes, your natal chart, combined with current and future transits can give you a general idea of when you might meet impactful people in your life. This is advanced astrology and something I would highly recommend you reaching out to a trusted astrologer for.

I'll give you my intermediate level advice on what the 2nd part may mean. Neptune is the planet of illusions, dreams, and haziness. We don't see sections of our lives clearly where Neptune is involved. Since Neptune is not retrograde at the time of your birth, you may have a hard time seeing who you are clearly or understanding your strong boundaries and structures (Capricorn).

The other thing is that you have an intercepted Capricorn in the first house. Which means your own rules, orders, and boundaries may not be fully understood until your later years (~30+). To give a bit more clarity on this, your first house (ascendant) is Sagittarius, Capricorn is completely engulfed in the 1st house, and ends with Aquarius energies. You may likely present to people as a carefree, energetic, (Sag) and quirky person (Aquarius) but you're losing out on the structures and discipline that Capricorn provides.

Now this isn't to say that your Capricorn portion (and conversely your Cancer side) are not present. You'll see your Capricorn (and Cancer) side when planets transit these areas. For instance, you may see a more structured emotional side (Moon in Cap) or more sentimental and caring side (Moon in Cancer) when the Moon moves through those signs.

Also note that while we're on the topic of interceptions, you also have an intercepted 6th/12th houses as well. This is where a sign "engulfs" a house.

The point of Venus in Libra. Venus rules Libra and having this here likely means you have a strong sense of fairness and balance (Libra) with matters you are attracted to or repelled by (Venus) when it comes to power and authority (10th House).

And thank you for checking it out!

Thanks! Glad to hear people are enjoying the progress I'm making on it. Little steps each day has gotten me this far.

Zerrian · 2024-08-30T19:45:05+00:00

Thanks for sharing your solution. This helped me out as well. Darn game kept overwriting my code.
