What are /r/ForgeVTT's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

You are correct, but some clarification:

The limitation is a FoundryVTT Licensing limitation, based on the licensing terms that FoundryVTT itself requires. https://foundryvtt.com/article/license/ see Point #1

What we've found overwhelmingly true is that:

For many groups 1x FoundryVTT license is fine, with some collisions between who wants to get into which World at the same time.

For the vast majority of groups, 2x FoundryVTT licenses will negate very nearly all collisions of people wanting to be in their worlds simultaneously.

I've been one of the foremost Moderators for The Forge since it was created basically.

You also have a misunderstanding of how FoundryVTT is structured.

The App:
NodeJS Server running FoundryVTT
Electron app which connects to the NodeJS server
You can also connect via browser

Forge:
NodeJS Server running FoundryVTT
You connect only via Browser (no electron involved)

The electron part of FoundryVTT is strictly for local user convenience. You can set up your local install to only be a NodeJS server too. https://foundryvtt.com/article/installation/

For others who may be interested.

The issue was that compendiums do not have folders, and kajishun wanted to merge a few campaigns into a single world by converting them into modules.

Then someone on Discord found and suggested this which would allow to preserve the folder structure : https://foundryvtt.com/packages/adventure-import-export/

Hello Mighty Dobber,

Understandably, I'm a little biased when it comes to The Forge, but I do have a few suggestions for you:

1. I've used Foundry with a touchscreen. It works to some degree, though there are some modules you'll want to ask about on the Foundry Discord itself to help make it work better. Foundry itself was built for desktop and works really well there, but focus always has an opportunity cost- Atropos can't develop for every use case, there's just not enough time.
2. You shouldn't need anything too powerful, but I would recommend having a reasonably good touchscreen laptop. I have the following laptop, and it runs Foundry, albeit with some slowdown: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0871RN3V6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I would recommend a more powerful laptop if you're doing large scenes.
3. I'm glad you're returning to face-to-face! I think any digital tool has a place in face-to-face RPG sessions. I like to put a lot of the "work" on my technology in my games. I would recommend some kind of VTT (obviously preferring Foundry with Forge hosting) just because a VTT can do the most, compared to various technologies like D&D Beyond. It lets you use it from anything like a journal, to showing off handouts, to displaying a scene. D&D Beyond is an amazing platform and that's why we offer integration with it, but it doesn't have full VTT capability.

Let me know if you have any questions, I'd be glad to assist you further.
