Foundry VTT Tutorial Setup Guide

Foundry VTT (FVTT) is what I use to run my Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition campaign (D&D5e), but configuring the settings and modules and getting set up for the next tabletop RPG campaign can be tricky, especially if you're not used to other Virtual Tabletop programs. So in this video series I'm going to teach you everything I know about how to run DnD and other games in FVTT. In today's video we're going to cover the basics of setting up a world, from Scenes (Maps), Actors (Tokens) for Player Characters and NPCs, Playlists, Rollable Tables, Items, and so on.

Thank you for making this. Every time I watch a new Foundry video from a new creator, I learn an additional feature not previously discussed or shown by the other videos! Thank you!

[elduderoni]

Freakin' amazing man! Thank you.

Foundry is honestly really intuitive already. There were a few things I was unsure about and it's great having someone just walkthrough the basics and explain those nuances in under 30 min.

[phenomonox]

Really cool. I found your channel because I decided to look up Talespire....found out it wasn't for me, but I liked you and looked and saw this video for an engine I've never seen.

I'm looking forward to more videos about this so I can make an educated decision. Thanks good sir!!!




Oh and I guess I'm supposed to write letting myself out.

[HamiltonWard]

straight and to the point, thank you so much!

[iamkeeblerstudios]

Thank you for your tutorials! These have been so handy as I learn how to use this software. I’d love to hear more about mods you suggest, where you get your tokens, how you host a session, etc.

I was a little confused at first because I was following along on the current version of Foundry, but then realized Unrestricted Vision Range is the new Global Illumination. Just an FYI for anyone a little confused like I was.

[AryaForce]

Where do you get the maps from? I am trying to get some good ones, but don't know where to look.

[icevariable]

This tutorial is MUCH better than the other guy's, which included wayyyy too much to just get started.
So, where did you get all those sword tokens and any other ones we could use?

[danielalbert]

There are a lot of places where you see "Create Folders" looking for I guess Directory Structure design in how to set up and how to organize files?

[k_geokin]

just started prepping for my first foundry campaign and this is all very helpful ty ty.
where did you get all these sword token images?

[captaincrispy]

Which part of the pantheon sent you, you absolute saint?

[TemosNossoTempo]

idk man you said so many useless stuff and never actually teach the short cuts or real important stuff
