I’ve really gotten into playing Dungeons and Dragons again recently. It started with a one-shot with my old high school crew over a year ago, which led to starting in a full fledged campaign online in 2022. I never thought that playing online would work for the game, but it did, and I am glad that I tried to see how it was possible to do.
Since then, I’ve been toying with becoming a Dungeon Master myself and running some games. I’ve used a few platforms (Roll20, Let’s Role) but there was a sale at Humble Bundle which included Foundry VTT. I snagged a copy and started playing with it and, although it’s quite tricky to first get a hold of, it definitely has a lot of power.
Many of the Patreon creators who also produce a lot of D&D content provide Foundry links to install and use their modules, which makes things even easier. You just need the manifest file to install and Foundry takes care of the rest.
Anyways…
Keeping this post short and sweet. I’m going to be posting on my experience with setting up Foundry, learning it, and getting ready to run an initial game and see how that goes. That’s being worked on, time permitting. Look for some of the intro pieces here soon.
