Hey everyone!
We've got another update for Does it Hit?! today—this time with pretty colours. For those of you that don't know, Does it Hit?! is a free utility for GMs to help with hit detection and mass damage and healing application. You can grab the latest version of the module d...
2024-03-16 23:05:53 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
We've recently added config to the system that associates each damage type with a specific colour. This is currently used to augment the cascading damage and healing numbers that float above tokens when a token's current hp is changed.

I've decided to put together this post to help people find the latest versions of our various modules more easily. I'll also include some instructions at the end of this post for installing our modules for both self-hosted Foundry installations and for those of you using The Forge.

I know it's taken a long time, but we've finally finished work on a version of the conversion tools that is compatible with version 3.0+ of the dnd5e Foundry system.
If you're on an older version of the dnd5e system, please check out version 0.1.6 here instead.

We've got another incremental update to Does it Hit?! today. Does it Hit?! is totally free, and you can grab the latest version of the module directly within Foundry from the "Add-on Modules" tab.
Here is the change log for 3.3.0:
Hey everyone!
In addition to a new version of Does It Hit?!, we've also got an update to the 5e → A5e Conversion Tools for you all today.

We've got something cool to show off today: flanking automation!
This new module automatically detects when you're eligible for a flanking bonus and preselects an expertise die in the roll dialog where appropriate. Just target an enemy, and the module will take care of the rest 😁
This one is pretty much done, so expect a release in the next day or two!

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to drop a sneak preview of something we've been working on for our Silver tier patrons: a new, compact monster sheet reminiscent of Monstrous Menagerie stat blocks.
This is still very much work in progress, and some of the elements shown here are going to change, but this should give you an idea of what's to come. The goal is to provide essentially all of t...

Hey everyone,
We've decided to open up the Encounter Builder to bronze tier now, instead of waiting for the next release.
The recent changes to the D&D 5e Foundry system have bumped a new version of the Conversion Tools and Fancy Compendia way up the priority list, and we didn't want to further delay our bronze patrons getting access to the Encounter Builder. It's already been d...

This has been out for a couple of weeks now, but I wanted to let you all know about our new Fancy Compendia module, now compatible with the D&D 5e system!
The A5e Fancy Compendium Packs module has been part of the base A5e system for a little while now, so we've turned our sights on expanding support to other rulesets. D&D 5e was a natural choi...

Thanks!

I just wanted to wish you all well during the holidays and to say thank you for your continued support.
December has been a little light on exclusive module releases, but a great deal of work has made it into the system these past few weeks. In particular, we've introduced a powerful new bonuses feature, and the Fancy Compendium Packs module is now a core part of the A...

We've got a small—but hopefully very useful—update to the Fancy Compendium Packs module for you today! 🥳
The new version allows you to activate a new categorised view for compendium packs, making it much easier to see creatures of the same CR, spells of the same level, maneuvers of the same degree, and items of the same rarity. You can see an example of this mod...

Hey everyone!
We've got a couple of releases lined up for this week, starting with a small update to the Fancy Compendium Packs module.
The upcoming version (0.1.5) adds a new categorised view mode, grouping monsters by CR, spells by level, and maneuvers by degree. I think this is going to be a really nice quality of life feature for many of you. We're just doing a final bit of test...

Just got a quick update to the 5e → A5e Conversion Tools for you all today to support the latest changes to the D&D 5e Foundry system. The tool should now fully support documents from version 2.4.0 of the 5e system.

Got a small update to the Fancy Compendium Packs module for you all today. This update doesn't add any new features, but it does provide some stability improvements and fixes a small bug that occurs when dragging things from the compendium sheets.
We should have a full preview post for the new Encounter Builder shortly, so stay tuned for that. An alpha release should b...

I just wanted to get some more feedback from the community, this time about the way we organise our compendium packs.
Currently, we have two packs for physical objects in A5e: one for mundane adventuring gear and one for magic items. I'm very much considering merging these into a single large pack, but I wanted to hear from the community before making a breaking change...

2023-10-13 00:19:21 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
We've got a small update to the conversion tool today with a few bug fixes and improvements when it comes to handling imperfect data.
We've been getting a number of people asking what the new conversion tools are for, and I think it's about time we show off a quick demo.
The basic idea behind the conversion tools is to allow you to take content designed for the dnd5e Foundry system—whether that be content from modules or things you've made yourself—and safely import that content into a world using the a5e system. 2023-09-25 11:13:20 +0000 UTC View Post
First of all, we've been getting a lot of positive feedback on the conversion tools, which is great to hear. We're really glad you're finding them useful! Of course, we're still working on making them better, and we've made another small update with some further bug fixes and QoL improvements.
Here's a rundown of the major changes:
Hey everyone,
We've made a small update to the conversion tools, taking care of a couple of bugs that were reported. These were all related to oddities in the source data, and the tools are now better equipped to handle these quirks.
In addition to making the tools more robust, the tools now include an instructions manual. These instructions cover various ways of preparing your data...
