This is awesome! Would love a player version!!

[Griffingterra]

I definitely would like to request a version for players. (I have a feeling that is already in the works & your just asking for our thoughts just for comments, but I don't mind the interaction boosting).😂

[Utome]

it would be lovely with a guide like this for players

[brometheus]

Thank you Nate! Just transitioned from years on Roll20 to Foundry for our new campaign. First session in two weeks. These guides couldn't have been better timed!

Just diving into this program now...I know this is a good video because I learned a lot and I know that I have so, so much to learn. A player version of this video would be great to show to players when I actually am ready to DM lol. But thank you for doing this video!

Dude, this video is exactly what I was looking for. Last week I started watching a playlist of "beginner" videos and they were not only outdated, but so incredibly tedious and dry. This got right to the meat of it, and it was impressive that you kept my ADHD-ass focused for 20min. A Player version of this would be really helpful as I am going to start a campaign in a month or two but some players are really hesitant about using something other than Owlbear and Beyond.

[syker]

Thanks for the comprehensive summary! Will have to give it a go and see how it works!

[hermesalexandria]

Yay! He listened! The System works!

Thanks!

Would love to see a Player Video for both 5e players and PF2e players. That would be really helpful. :)

A module i would recommend for world creation is Forians copy environment. As well as having a settings world for modifying and testing the settings

11:35 "and even redo an action using good ole control z" xD

[AKA_Kira]

I want both additional ones, ive been using it for a year and still learned something ;)

[kueppe]

Great video, but u definitely won the most words per second competition.

I think I understand the issue with VTT that could really help it. They mix the basic/simple options too much with the complicated/excessive ones. The designers should make drop down boxes for complicated features and options and consolidate the simple ones. The clutter adds to the confusion.

Where can I get that scene map?
You said his name so fast I couldn't catch it. Perhaps links to art and map suppliers in the description, even if they cost money?

[jandrews]

Pro tip. Take a breath between sentences and pause once ina was while so people can actually process what you are saying. Its not a race to speak as fast as you can :D

[superagent]

On the importing of music from tabletop or others.. you mention duplicate or import. I need to understand this better.

[smougy]

Player Version please. Hate to drop the burden on you but would be much easier to send players to your channel to learn.

[sarcastrophe]

Anyone else have to watch this on 0.8x speed? My guy talks fast.
