I'm getting tired of having to look up something my players mentioned or an ability or spell that I didn't consider and be told to buy a book when I look it up on dnd beyond. I would prefer not having to read random forms of people talking about whatever I'm looking for or having to quickly find it in a physical book.

God bless the fediverse. I wanted to tell people on the alien site about this app so many times. There is a Foundry VTT plugin called plutonium by the same creator which is massive for playing online.

yeah, Plutonium is pretty great. I like that it handles level ups and character creation as well.

Yeah when I ran 5e it was a huge boon. I've since switched to PF2e, for which the foundry automation is even better, but 5e on foundry sucks without plutonium

Right now my party I'd using roll 20 but after this campaign om thinking of moving them to foundry. Do you recommend it? How hard is it to learn and move our stuff over?

I tried to start playing online mid 2020 (funny that...) and ended up giving up with Roll20 as I just couldn't get it to work properly.

Foundry dropped in May 2020 and I bought it day one and haven't looked back. If you have even the slightest technical mindset and like to tinker with things you'll love it! It has wide support in 1st and 3rd party content, fan made game systems that you'd swear were official products and so many ways to mod and improve how things work and play in your chosen game.

Highly recommended!
