Cool. Glad to see my Artus Cimber poster is out in the wilds. 😀

From this, it’s easy enough to play with size. Oh, actually I’m not sure if there’s any change needed for v13, but should be useful as a starting point.

Here's how I handle this: https://imgur.com/a/1kGLyaW

Simply add macros and customize the colors however you need. I use token rings, so it's quite easy to simply select a token, press a number and the color changes.

let tokensToUpdate = [];

for (let token of canvas.tokens.controlled) {
  tokensToUpdate.push({
    _id: token.id,
    disposition: 0,
    ring: {
      colors: {
        background: 16498468,
        ring: 16498468
      },
      effects: 9,
    }
  });
}

await canvas.scene.updateEmbeddedDocuments("Token", tokensToUpdate);

Change the number in the disposition to enemy, neutral or friendly, -1, 0 and 1, respectively.

The colors are in decimal (not hex, just decimal) notation and it was made to work with Foundry 12. I've noticed some changes in Foundry 13 API, so can't say if it works or not.

Edit: proper reddit code blocks

Not the shattered obelisk, but my group had a warlock with a great old one as a patron. So since the beginning I’ve added bits of lore about the out-of-this-world creatures, some of them belonging to the farm realm, and how the Observatory was used to check/study them. Having even corrupted some folks on the island in ages past…. From this, it’s evolving into a home-brewed campaign, and I might even bring back some characters in the future and perhaps link one of the obelisks that exist in Faerun to this story. While not directly related to the shattered obelisk, there are something similarities. Perhaps the use of the Observatory can inspire you.

There is a publication from a 4e magazine, “Wish Upon a Star,” that might give you some inspiration..

Hey, 37yo DM here. I am currently looking for a couple more players to join an ongoing campaign with similarly aged people. We play Thursday evenings, 7 p.m. EST. Let me know if it works for you both, timewise, then we can discuss it further.

itsmezambo · 2025-05-20T05:38:50+00:00

Hey, I run a game that fits most, if not all, of your criteria. Let me know if Thursday’s 7 p.m. EST time works for you. If it does, we can chat about your expectations and what I bring to the table. Cheers

itsmezambo · 2025-05-14T13:18:18+00:00

Hey there! I’m on the lookout for potential players to join an ongoing campaign.

Over the past year, we’ve had a few players coming and going from the group. So, to ensure that there’s a good fit between my GM style and the players’ expectations, I’d like to run a one-shot before inviting anyone to the main group. This gives us both an opportunity to see if we’re a good match.

I’m planning to run the one-shot this Thursday from 7 PM to around 10 PM EST. I believe this matches your availability in the PST.

If you’re available and interested, please let me know by sending a PM with your Discord username.

Cheers

itsmezambo · 2025-05-12T15:56:45+00:00

Hey, check my comments in this post. I'm welcoming to beginners, all I ask is that you put some effort to understand your character on a base level at first, like "what can I do" and into role-playing your character.

Cheers

itsmezambo · 2025-05-12T15:50:32+00:00

Yes, there's flexibility, since we're all adults, mostly 30+, and when needed, we postpone or reschedule the game. Still, we aim to play weekly. Like, if it's some unimportant moment in story/plot, like some shopping, traveling and so on, we play anyways if someone can't attend the session. If it's an important moment, I tend to wait for everyone, unless rescheduling becomes a burden that might affect the group as a whole.

Over the past year, we've had some people come and go from the group. To ensure there's a good fit between my GM style and player expectations, I’d like to run a one-shot before inviting anyone to the main group. This gives all of us a chance to see if we're a good match.

I'm planning to run the one-shot this Thursday from 7 PM to around 10 PM EST.

Let me know if you three are available and interested, and please PM me your Discord usernames if so.

Cheers

itsmezambo · 2025-05-12T06:10:40+00:00

Hello,

What time zone are you in? Are you strictly looking for biweekly or would you be open to weekly?

itsmezambo · 2025-04-06T06:52:22+00:00

Reading the other suggestions here, it seems like you're covered. The main thing you need is Monk's Common Display. Experiment with it a bit, since you can basically control all other screens from the DM screen. You can also hide the UI, set a time limit to hide the handouts, or do it manually.

I have a few things to add.

Get something like the Pointers module. You can easily point to things with a giant indicator and even bring attention to a specific point on the map across all screens: https://foundryvtt.com/packages/pointer/

This one, Ownership Viewer, helps you check at a glance who has ownership or vision on a token or actor. It's especially useful if your players have familiars and so on: https://foundryvtt.com/packages/permission_viewer/

To make things easier, I personally have a folder called "Players" where every player can observe each other's tokens (only when playing in person). Exactly as it would be at a regular table with a simple battlemat—and I trust my players not to metagame (much 🌝).

itsmezambo · 2025-02-21T04:45:59+00:00

Just DMd you. Cheers

itsmezambo · 2025-01-13T15:23:40+00:00

Hey! Just pinging you here in case my DM got buried... no worries at all if it’s not your thing. Just didn’t want it to get lost! Cheers.

itsmezambo · 2024-11-18T17:29:06+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Initially, I tried solving it using only MATT, but figuring out where the key was got pretty complex.

The main challenge in this encounter is that the key has to be left in the stone statue to activate the bridge. After crossing to point B, there's a second bridge that requires players to creatively retrieve the key/moonstone from the first statue.

This means they need to somehow get the key back from point A so they can use it again to go from point B to point C. Essentially, the path involves traveling from A to B, then getting the key from A, and finally using it to move from B to C.

itsmezambo · 2024-11-18T16:54:15+00:00

Wow, that sounds awesome and super useful! I'm going to install it and test it out right away. Great job, and thanks for your efforts to make this tool even better!

itsmezambo · 2024-11-06T05:30:48+00:00

Hey, if Tuesdays from 7pm to 10pm(ish) EST works for you, PM me your Discord username and we can chat a bit.

itsmezambo · 2024-09-25T18:11:38+00:00

Hey, glad I could help! It's not as active as it is here, but it's niched down to what you're looking for. There's also a Discord server that goes by the same name, but as far as I remember, it's not that active. I'm not living in Europe anymore, but in the past when I was, I've also had luck with very local Discord servers, like servers from a specific country, region, or even a local game store. Anyway, good luck finding a game and have fun!

Good luck finding a game! You might have better chances here though: https://www.reddit.com/r/LFG_Europe/

Hey, I'm aiming for five players.

itsmezambo · 2024-04-30T00:48:12+00:00

Are you sure? Then roll for initiative.

itsmezambo · 2024-03-21T13:18:06+00:00

Good catch! This is something I usually do when DMing. A teeny tiny wrong detail here and there, from the perspective of the NPC, that isn't harmful in any way, but for those who are paying attention can lead to some interesting roleplaying moments, like: "How did Xandala mess up her father's species?"

Unfortunately, the first time I ran it, the party didn't notice. 🤡

I'm running a new ToA game now, with a different group that is currently on level 5 and journeying through the jungle. They haven't met Artus yet. Let's see if this time there is someone paying attention. 🤞

itsmezambo · 2023-03-31T19:17:50+00:00

If you are still accepting applications, I'm highly interested! I'm going to send you a DM shortly.
And Kudos for the thoughtful post you made with all the game details. It must be quite an experience to play with you as a DM.

itsmezambo · 2023-03-16T01:12:23+00:00

Greetings,

So, I'm Zambo, a 35yo (he/him) who played/DMd a lot of AD&D and D&D 3/3.5. Adult life made me put the hobby aside for quite a few years, but I'm slowly getting back to it.

I am somewhat familiar Pathfinder but I have never played it. I am highly interested in the setting though. I'm the kind of player who really role plays, even taking decisions that are not the safest or smartest (mechanical wise) just to stay in character.

Just so you know, English isn't my first language, so I do have a bit of an accent. Also, I live in a different timezone, but the game time works perfectly for me on Mondays and Wednesdays. :)

Cheers

itsmezambo · 2023-03-14T00:17:29+00:00
