Foundry VTT For Beginners | GM Edition

Holy shit. Great video thank you Natertot. 😊

Will you be updating this video for version 13 now that it's out?

Instead of cluttering your screen or collapsing info … can foundry work across 2️⃣ or more screens without just stretching one screen over multiple screens?

Slow it down to 0.8 and it’s about bareable

Just wanted to say I liked your video, but you are talking WAY to fast. I felt like I had just finished a 100 yard dash after listening to the video.

Ill quote Billy Madison here. "Sloooooooow Doooooooooown!"

can the dm approve player actions beforehand?

Great for my first time use! I want to see the GM advanced one

still have some confusion on getting my background itself down but other than that very helpful

Thanks, Natertot. The video is very informative. Though I will set playback to 0.75 for my review.

Helpful, thanks!

this was insanely helpfull and can not beleave how much better this already feels then roll20 thank you man!

Ben Shapiro's cousin here?
Excellent video, but will need to play again at half speed.

This was perfect. I've set up a server and found a lot of content I want to use, but just didn't have a big picture of how it would all go together. Thank you for the great GM overview.

if i run foundry do all my players need to buy it to participate?

Was just thinking of using a VTT and have been on the fence about using Foundry or Roll20 but i think this convinced me to use Foundry instead. Thanks Nate

Nailed it!

That's great... now try dnd 2014 and let me know when you try so i can call a therapist for you

You also don't talk about findign things that aren't already preuploaded... which an overwhelming majority of content is missing from foundry to a point that it SHOULD be part of the basics

Jesus, slow down dude.

I'll never understand why a game would name their game exactly the same as another game. 🤷‍♀️ Makes zero sense.

Dude thank you for this. I wanted to learn how to use it but man the videos that are out there want to show you how to split an atom. This is way easier to understand for what 90% of us will use it for.

Is there any way to upload or import .json files to a world? Specifically for characters and NPCs

wtf is this? This isnt foundry for making blockchain smart contracts lmao i got the wrong foundry

Although I'm no luddite and can handle tech VERY well, Foundy VTT is a BEAST and discovering your channel has been a godsend. Played DnD decades ago (basic, 1e, 2nd Ed) I would love to dive back in but everyone's remote. These VTT options are great and I find Foundry to be super impressive. Thanks for making these videos (to the point, fast talking, and very visual). A player video for my "old" friends would be great. Keep up the great work!

I imported a scan of “the dungeon under the mountain”, lined up a square, got it to about the same size (as far as i could see) and it was fine for about five squares then the next one was a bit out, and it got progressively worse with each square until it lined up again 20 or so squares later. Is there anything that can be done about this?

So i purchased a module, activated it at the foundry website, now how do i get it in game?

Great video and overview! Thanks for all the information. Have you covered setting up the port forwarding that you mentioned at the end of the video?

What's the name of the mod that has an animated Target selection ring

Nice video, but even if wanna reduce duration, such speed without pause in speach is terrible 😢
And duration to read with manual pause and rewind is 2x the time. Then more noring than a nicer 30minutes video

OK, I'm a beginner but what's this Game System about? That wasn't explained?! I am starting from scratch. What does it mean and what is recommended?! TIA

The movement of tokens when you use the ctrl key is pretty cool to make sure they know

Jesus Christ man, slow down.

If I set rolls to be private from GM, does that also make all rolls I do from monster and NPC sheets to be private?

This is awesome! Would love a player version!!

it would be lovely with a guide like this for players

Where do I find the map pictures ?

Player Version please. Hate to drop the burden on you but would be much easier to send players to your channel to learn.

Just diving into this program now...I know this is a good video because I learned a lot and I know that I have so, so much to learn. A player version of this video would be great to show to players when I actually am ready to DM lol. But thank you for doing this video!

Pro tip. Take a breath between sentences and pause once ina was while so people can actually process what you are saying. Its not a race to speak as fast as you can :D

Great video, but u definitely won the most words per second competition.

You video helped a ton!

Thanks for the comprehensive summary! Will have to give it a go and see how it works!

Would love to see a Player Video for both 5e players and PF2e players. That would be really helpful. :)

Anyone else have to watch this on 0.8x speed? My guy talks fast.

Dude, this video is exactly what I was looking for. Last week I started watching a playlist of "beginner" videos and they were not only outdated, but so incredibly tedious and dry. This got right to the meat of it, and it was impressive that you kept my ADHD-ass focused for 20min. A Player version of this would be really helpful as I am going to start a campaign in a month or two but some players are really hesitant about using something other than Owlbear and Beyond.

Thanks alot!! Great video

Good overview. Thanks!
