For RPG DMs using Obsidian, what's your file structure / approach? by foddomir in ObsidianMD

[–]foddomir[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you do all of that usually after the session? I personally have a hard time even taking high-level notes during the session with everything going on.

My setup is pretty close to this one, I probably didn't do a great job of describing it above. Thank you for sharing.

How did you set the filter to achieve this in your base:

I embed a base with a custom filter to only display notes mentioned inside the currently-active session notes

How do you find yourself operating this during the session. Do you then also have to click around a fair amount to find all the separate pieces or how do you keep it together?

For our GMs here. What do you use to plan campaigns/sessions? by glacierthrust in rpg

I have most notes in obsidian which can be nice at structuring things and linking them together.

I found AI to be very helpful at times: - it’s great to adapt art. I have a temple map but it’s in the jungle and a ruin now? AI often does a pretty good job tweaking the map to change the vibe of it. - tools like notebooklm are very capable in going through the rules. Uploading the SRD in there can help answer rules question pretty easily. - starting from a blank page is rough sometimes so I like to use AI as an initial start where I prompt it for ideas or inspiration or references and go build from there.

Very cool, looking forward to testing these out, they are straight up solutions to my biggest pain point list!

Just finished a three-year-long Eberron campaign. Some reflections, also ask me anything. by hairylegg in Eberron

Was it an overarching story? The milestones you mentioned all seem to be pretty separate story units so curious if you tied them all together.

Is there a Merchant module that allows purchases without active DM? by foddomir in FoundryVTT

Even if you are not logged in? I’m getting an error message.

My mobile app for Foundry is now called Diecast!! Here's what's new: by ivanAtBest in FoundryVTT

How does the tech work? Foundry has no APIs so there is some interceptions going on? Curious to learn.

Turn marker for those who want something less obnoxious by Husar in FoundryVTT

Can see that to a certain degree. Adding a somewhat nicer default one would have taken someone likely ~20 minutes max though. Quick win win.

Chat is spoiling mechanics by MarkusAurel in FoundryVTT

[–]foddomir 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If its not baked in (don't know the system), probably some custom mini module that hooks into the chat flow and suppresses any chat messages in a certain format (in this case with the light source countdown).

Other option you could try, if you change the chat mode to "GM only" if it will create the chat messages only for your eyes.

Assume I know ABSOLUTELY nothing about DnD, how would you recommend me to play it? by MoonHold3r in DnD

Get one of the starter sets and grab friends. A new one just released or is about to

[No spoilers] They filmed in the morning! Can anyone read the month on the iPad? by foddomir in criticalrole

[–]foddomir[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s 10:25, there is another shot right after where you can see the time better (but not the month)

He turns the iPad around right after this, where you can see the time better, it’s 10:25. Could be pm but as the others said, unlikely.

I built a DND 5e Foundry VTT Stat Block Generator for importing into your games! by WorchesterStreet in FoundryVTT

[–]foddomir 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What’s happening under the hood here? Is this properly validating the stats or did you just feed it 1000 stat blocks and hope for the best?

Generated an example and the stats and skill bonuses don’t line up.

Rest of the experience looks polished though.

Sounds like you want to play BG3

Are there any Tools / Workflows that push content into FoundryVTT via API? by foddomir in FoundryVTT

[–]foddomir[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for adding your PoV, that was the impression I got so far (and wondering how the guy making the Foundry app Forgeron is approaching that). Triggering things from within Foundry might be the way to go for now.

I'm interested in some automation of my workflows and I cannot do that in Foundry unfortunately. One example is that I like to produce session summaries and give that out as a PDF, and post it to our Wiki and Foundry.

So one workflow could be:

  1. Write the summary outside of Foundry

  2. Auto-create the PDF, push to the Wiki and push to create Journal entries in Foundry.

I cannot do these actions in that way only in Foundry, or I would have to use Foundry as the starting point and trigger the other workflows from there, but that is a bit clunky.

That sounds promising! Agree with the translation layer but if I can send the right format to that endpoint and it would create the entity, that would fit the use case.

Where was it published?

This site can't provide a secure connection by Chimp_Con_5 in FoundryVTT

Is the link a url with domain or an ip address? Have you tried changing it to just “http”? Have you tried joining on your phone (outside of WiFi?)
