FULL WALKTHROUGH TUTORIAL of Foundry (VTT for Pathfinder, D&D, and other RPGs) (The Rules Lawyer)

33K views • 4 years ago • 1:59:21 Also check out my edited OVERVIEW OF MY FOUNDRY SETUP at: https://youtu.be/e9O8ClXhjxY I teach Foundry to some PF2e GMs new to Foundry. I thought this would be a good format for people learning it, who can have their Foundry open and follow while watching. It is a FULL tutorial/walkthrough of Foundry and my most important modules! It also has a couple modules not included in my previous Foundry video. FOR BEST RESULTS: Already have Foundry installed on your machine. Having your server already set-up is not necessary. Foundry Version 9, Build 242 on Jan. 23, 2022. There are many other great modules for Foundry out there! If you think to yourself, “I wonder if there’s a way to do X?”, there likely is a mod for it! For further deciding on what modules to install, don’t miss my video on modules! It has some mods that I don’t demonstrate here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9O8ClXhjxY 0:00 What this is, Introductions 2:46 Overview of Foundry 4:38 Installing a Game System 5:16 Creating a World 5:47 Installing Modules 8:03 List of Modules for this tutorial 8:27 World sign-in screen 8:55 Turning Modules on & off 9:56 Creating user accounts 12:36 Creating a Scene 13:30 Importing maps from a maps Module 13:52 Compendium Packs 16:00 Moving around map, zooming 16:22 Managing Scenes 17:30 Scene settings 21:41 Wall and door controls 29:10 Lighting controls 31:01 Activating a Scene 32:13 Importing an Actor (character, monsters, etc.) by dragging onto Scene 33:13 Ambient sound controls 34:32 Resetting the fog of war 35:33 Importing a monster Actor 36:49 Creating a new Actor 38:54 Importing custom maps 39:18 (PF2E) Using the Pathbuilder Import Module 51:25 Making custom Tokens with Tokenizer 59:21 Making Token stats visible/invisible 1:00:35 Assigning permissions to Tokens 1:02:00 Token interface 1:03:43 Adding condition(s) to a Token 1:03:58 Sound effects with SoundBoard Module 1:06:34 Importing a music Module 1:07:12 Using your own music 1:08:48 Starting a combat 1:09:12 Making a tab “pop out” 1:10:23 Changing Module settings 1:10:52 Setting up automatic combat music with Maestro Module (Pt. 1) 1:11:06 Customizing the Dice So Nice!
