try 'Token Tool' - but YMMV as some older PDFs have the images in parts

there are plenty of free or online image programs that will allow you to join up several images

on the library page
if i search (for example for an AP by name)
i can select all the files - and under actions i see a 'download all' option - but that doesnt actually work (firefox & chrome browsers)

please sort out the naming of the download files - currently they just have some random strings of characters for the file names, this doesnt help when you have multiple downloads

when you search for a particular product in your library - currently the search result doest differentiate between single file or file per chapter - they both present the same in the list and require you to click through to find out which file is which.

Late to this party as i dont visit the boards all that often
100% agree with HMM's reasoning and solution proposal

most of my players want a chronicle -not 100% but certainly more than half

another concerned voice
I'm lucky enough to be a VO in org play and get my AP PDFs for free
recently I was able to buy all three Spore War modules for Foundry at $14 each ($42 total)

Looking on the foundry marketplace (as you said the new pricing will echo that) those same modules cost $30 each ($90 total)

I generally buy the VTT modules even for content I'm not going to run, so that interest in premium modules (hopefully) drives more product of that high quality to be produced.

doubling my cost will cause me to stop buying VTT module's I'm not running and consider going back the minimalist days of hand built scenarios rather than investing in 'premium' content

my players have no interest in sharing the current cost ($42), let alone chipping in for a share of $90 - not counting my investment in Foundry licences and other premium Paizo content such as bestiaries and monster core modules

Please reconsider this move, or accelerate a workround - one suggestion upthread is a 'personalised' voucher code for the VTT' this seems like a great idea

does this have interactive maps?

any news on the players guide?

what about the chronicles - do they just go against the Players ID to earn checkboxes with no XP or credits etc?

also where did my 5th Star & 2nd Nova go?

I ran 'It came from the Vast' today - the players were a mix of newbies & vererans and we used the Foundry VTT adventure pack

aside from a couple of teething troubles with the pregens, my players really enjoyed it. The adventure was fully developed and worth the cost (although i got it free as a VC) - it did run 4hrs, but again that could be the new players and the unfimiliarity with the system

are these 4 new maps?

Any related back products that i should check out to round out the sandpoint experience for my players?

so will the Foundry VTT module be a similar price to 2 x AP books?

Interesting how many players is it?

6 players

I'm on the finale of this adventure. My only criticism (apart from the one monster that has mechanics that my players hate) is that due to the construction of the maps and closeness of other monsters it fairly easy in three of the maps to be chain pulling multiple moderate encounters due to proximity.

congratulations Terry, Robert, Joel & Cy

Is this also on FB FoundryVTT?

Deidril has said hes working on this next for his Helyx-Import PDF module, although i am already well into hand crafting it in Foundry and it wasnt so bad, all the Actors are already in the system, so its just the maps and the trimmings (also my first time running on Foundry, so a big learning curve for me)

Also disappointed that there is no digital version available, as others I have always built my own content into my VTT of choice

well done to all the new 5 Star, 5 Glyph and 5 Nova GMs - extra kudos Milan for achieving 5/5/5, and great job too all those Campaign Coin recipients; Guess we need to bug Alex for a bigger clubhouse

any update on the discount not Appling

congrats HMM on your 5th Nova, Idaho and Joshua on your 5th Star

congratulations Andrew, Jocelyn and Michael

Jason on GCP

the (3-4) felvines CR2 winding vines ability DC should be 11 (not 9 as shown)

Right in the feels..

nice to include the map for VTT - less useful to have a giant secret door still on it!

I'm surprised that Malevolence is getting sanctioned. I figured it would have disturbing content, and I know Agents of Edgewatch didn't get sanctioned for the same reason.

Edgewatch didn't get sanctioned due to similarity to recent events, Malevolence is a haunted house. Signal of Screams for Starfinder is a horror based AP and that has already been sanctioned.

a cake with a photoprinting of a chronicle sheet on it to celebrate a group finishing something big. Maybe for the final chronicle of Eyes of the Ten or something similar.

This is a genius idea

Excited to run this one

Excellent insight, great to have you all on board.

congrats Dawn

congrats Densial and Daniel

Great work everyone

Well Done Chris, much deserved Campaign coin, and congrats to Patrick for that 5th star, currently the five star island is closed, but we look forwards to welcoming you in the future.

as someone said above - any plans to tokenise pawn sets or bestiarys?

Wait (looks up) why do I only have 4 stars :(
Also - right rank - wrong location....

I am hoping that the system will also at some point give you an exact count of how many specials one is short, so one does not have to do all the combing and counting of Organized Play records to figure these things out!

Hmm

Aww- thats like taking the fun out of your own recording spreadsheets and everything..

Benoit and the Gardencon team have been very accommodating for those of us that only speak pigeon French / German over the years, my only issue now is that it clashes with my wedding anniversary and my wife isnt a gamer :(

Having run 100's of PF/SF games online, both on tables I built, and ones shared with me by other GM's, I can honestly say i'd much rather build my own.

On someone elses table there are always quirks or issues about the way its set up or the monster macros are generated.

Building a table is as simple as extracting the maps from the PDF, generating a few tokens with a free tool and then dragging them into the VTT. You dont need the whole text of the scenario - thats way over complicated.

Monsters just need a basic char sheet - no need for the bestiary etc - mine usually have an initiative, melee attack, ranged attack and save macro.

I have a number of tutorials on my blog here on how to set up macros and maps, and have taught a number of very successful online GM's how to build their own tables. I'm happy to share my knowledge and experience with anyone wanting to get started running online.

My only quibble is the "watercolory 5th Ed style" maps, but understand its just a 1-4 level module, so I made all new ones.

Tom

any chance of sharing those maps you made ?

fantastic news

It uses Flip Mat Classics: Ship, Map Pack: Perilous Paths, and two new half-page maps.

Thanks Linda

congratulations Joonas & Gary

looking forwards to running this, my players have had a blast in every part (although there has been some bloodshed over time..)

congratulations Pete and Jacinta

very nice

That method is helpful, but I think people would really prefer that we didn't have to go through a 16 step process to print usable battlemaps.

Essentially, we'd like it if Paizo did that process for us and included it with the scenario.

Its been asked before, John Compton told me (in person) that the maps are included at their submission resolution, there are no 'high res' versions available. So the only option is to scale them up - then you still have to account for all the types of printers used (plan, US letter, A3, A4 etc) and if you want to use a commercial printers, there is the added issue of different file format requirements.

session 1 was about 4hrs -ending just past the manticore. 2nd session was about 3.5 hrs and they completed the tomb - they were 4 days ahead of the enemy group, so didnt encounter them at all.
