Dangermouse Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 (edited) I'm pleased to announce that the beta version of the Pendragon Starter Set implementation for Foundry VTT is now available for testing. If you have experience with using Foundry VTT and playing Pendragon and want to test the system then it would be great if you could help. You can import the system to Foundry using the manifest URL https://github.com/Genii-Locorum/Pendragon/releases/latest/download/system.json Please raise any issues or development requests through https://github.com/Genii-Locorum/Pendragon Whilst the implementation is endorsed by Chaosium this is a community built implementation so please direct any questions to me (and not Chaosium). I can usually be found on the Foundry Discord channel or contacted via the BRP boards (Dangermouse on both options) and am happy to answer questions where I can."

Today I verified that it was a problem with the version of Foundry that I had installed 😅 I just updated it and I think it works perfectly now. Thank you so much! It looks wonderful. In any case, I understand that this is a preliminary version, right? I haven't found a way to include new skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much! It looks wonderful. In any case, I understand that this is a preliminary version, right? I haven't found a way to include new skills. So it is a beta version - oppossing rolls is one thing I know I need to do - and nothing there for battles - some of the beta testing is to call these things out and to prioritise development - the more people that shout about something the sooner I may get round to doing it. But the basic structure and functionality should all be there. You should be able to create new skills (see screenshot) - and then drag them from the item list to the character sheet. Have you imported the various compendium to the game world as the skills should all be there (along with some instructions on how to do various things)? Feel free to drop me a DM if you want to work through any of this in detail. Cheers Simon Edited October 26 by Dangermouse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snotereceorlas Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 (edited) Hello there dangermouse! Great that someone is doing this - and that you have the unofficial blessing of chaosium. Would love to help out with feedback. I can honestly say i had the most fun I've had for ages when i played the starter set with my most dedicated player! The passions and traits play really well, the d20 version of BRP really is, in my opinion, quite a bit better than the usual d100 one, and a LOT of the stuff they have put in - like battles gave - fun, nail-biting and satisfying outcomes! I could give many examples. My limitations are that time is a bit scarce as, amongst other things, we are self-employed and have to do a bit juggling of our work thanks to the cost of living crisis here in hte UK. My gaming time has decreased for the present. But i will give as much feedback as i can. Also i'm not a developer - my youngest son is and when we talk these things i realise how much i have to learn - and foundry vtt is great but it's very developer-friendliness makes it a bit harder to use for us who aren't. The plus side is that i do have a lot experience in using foundry and, of course, have been playing frpgs for years. Also let me know if you prefer discord for all this. So: At the moment i have it all installed in foundry vtt but the only items displaying are Passions Skills and Traits. i notice in the image above others like Armour are present. Have you created those in your set up? I know from experience (like the Foundry Castles and Crusades when it was in beta) that you need to import content as well as system which can be more tricky in beta (for people like me). Obviously just reply when you can. thanks again! Andrew Edited October 31 by snotereceorlas to be more precise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously just reply when you can. thanks again! Andrew Hi Andrew I appreciate how busy life can be but any testing and feedback would be great. If it helps I'm not a developer either (I've learned the coding needed as I've gone on) - so if things aren't obvious or easy to use then please call them out and I'll see what I can do. I'm easy with feedback here or on Discord - whatever works. I'll log bugs, requested features etc on Github. On the topic of armour etc what I'm about to say is my personal approach but shaped by conversations with my Chaosium rep. If something appears on the character sheet then it's ok for me to put in the Foundry implementation - stats, skills, traits and passions are all good examples - but the names only. Any longer passages of text that are in the rule book and not the character sheet isn't appropriate for my implementation. So Armour, Horses etc don't appear in the implementation as compendiums - but you can create it all yourself. So there is a "Horse" item with the right data - you'll just need to create them (hopefully I've included some instructions in the compendia). I hope that helps explain why I've not included some things as compendia - but rest assured the functionality exists for you to be able to populate them. Please do shout if you want to go through any of it and happy to do a teach in/show and tell on what I'd do. Cheers, and thanks for helping out with whatever testing you can fit in Simon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
