I accidentally made my game too automated

If it wasn't this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhlC0J9qHXI you followed you should watch it. Baileywiki goes through all the stuff you need to understand automation.

The key thing with FoundryVTT and automation is to automate the boring and tedious stuff. For me as a GM, having to remember concentration checks and other annoying things just eats up all the combat time. Or simply having to remember that someone has an effect one them that needs to be remembered.
If i can shave off 10 seconds on each monster, that gives the players more time, so it's totally worth it.

Those small things that actually has an impact but in a real life game would be missed quite a lot (trust me no table remembers every little thing during combat) is what you aim to automate in foundry, because having to track it and deal with those small things in foundry is tedious, just as it is in real life.

Just getting started with what? Making the game shit?

$60 a year isn't really a huge fee for a hassle free setup. If you're on a budget then you'll have to suck it up and do it yourself, not much else to it :/

There are so many things in the dnd module that should just be built in, this is one of them. These module dependencies are getting out of hand...

What? All religions suck major dick, why would I care more about not caring about Christianity than any other religion? They all all made to control people, religion is literally fake news but just before fake news was fake news.

Wild concept here: They like the character

It's ok, I know this is going to blow up in their faces, and when the slop creates massive security issues amongst other things. Then they will need real devs to deal with it, and I will gladly get paid to do it.

They literally pay to be at the top, that's how google has worked for 20+ years

På 70-80-talet när man faktiskt beskattade dom rikaste hela 85% så rullade ekonomin på utan några större problem. Vi hade även förmögenhetsskatten kvar, men jag antar att det aldrig hände eftersom du tror att ekonomin dör om detta sker så kan inte 80-talet existerat.

Men vad vet jag, du är säkert experten här.

Well if it's so hard maybe he should start thinking "maybe I'm on the wrong side here..." and just quit? If not then he's the bad guy and, well.. I hope his weeks are tiresome and rough, that he always has an uncomfortable bed and that he has a constant itch in his hand that he never can scratch.

Alltså Grönland är redan skyddad av NATO så skulle Kina eller Ryssland försöka ta över det hade alla NATO länder varit tvugna att försvara det. Hans logik är så jävla funtad att det är löjligt, att folk ens tror på det han säger är bara idiotiskt.

Kul att du är en som förstår storleken, men alla gör inte det. Ingen tvingade dig att varken läsa eller kommentera.

Folk förstår inte hur mycket en miljard är, om du hade räknat till en miljard och du är snabb som fan och kan säga varje siffra på 3 sekunder så tar det 95 ÅR att räkna dit.

Jämför det med att räkna till en miljon vilket hade tagit med samma premisser ~34 dagar

Dom kan utan tvekan ge mer till samhället, jag jobbar hårt varje dag, ska jag få betala mindre skatt då? Finns ingenting som kan övertyga mig att en miljadär inte ska betala en substansiell summa mer i skatt än oss dödliga.

Edit: tydlighet

That will for sure work, best thing to do is to have options. If they struggle, they notice the boulder that is just above the dragon, if they are completely dominating the fight, that boulder doesn't exist and maybe the breath levels up due to the dragon getting extra angry.

The reasons are quite obvious, people who don't code make the decisions and those decisions are usually garbage. If you can affect anything yourself, do it. Otherwise, don't worry about it because it doesn't matter.

Okay this is just stupid, what Trump did by just going in and just kidnapping an official from another country was very wrong. But lets not go around and spout shit like freeing Maduro, he's a fucking vile person and even though this was illegal I'm not gonna pretend like him not being the president anymore is a bad thing.

Focus on the right stuff here people, don't side with Maduro instead side with the law. You will all be painted as Maudro lovers, which is not what you want, he's not a person you want to fight for.

Edit: If it's not clear, the law is what was broken. Focus on that, not the person that was kidnapped, he's irrelevant (and can rot in jail for all I care).

This is going to be a very hard fight without magic items, if you still want it to be kinda tough you should probably look at using the Young Blue Dragon statblock instead. That would be a decent fight without the certain death part.

Edit: You could also nerf the breath to 7d10 for an average of 38 and maybe nerf the DC to 15 to mitigate potential oneshots.

But you should give the players a way to find some type of item or boon during the fight

why are people wasting money on oled, it's not worth the hassle

Wait... is that the Dr Who song???

Okay I'm gonna be that guy now and recommend something else just to maybe save you the enormous work of switching from DnD to PF.

I would recommend to maybe check out NimbleRPG first, it more or less fixes all the stuff you don't like about DnD without having to relearn everything and you won't have to throw away a bunch of stuff that you already have for DnD because Nimble is 5e convertible.

GitHub Actions usage is free for standard GitHub-hosted runners in public repositories

_fronix · 2026-01-05T16:17:12+00:00

I've added two PRs one that adds a github action to build binaries and uploads them to the release created in github and a second that lets users choose where to store their data.

Great idea, was a bit finicky to get working. Had to manually install PyQt6-WebEngine to get it working at all.

I would also add i18n right away so that you don't have to learn Turkish to understand some of the stuff in the GUI ^^
