This is a good start to putting together a VTT module, but not something with a lot of polish so unfortunately I can’t recommend it.
tldr:
Great bones, but personally I expected something polished and a little more ready to go right out of the box.
Pros:
The journal entries are linked together nicely, you get the digital assets: tokens, maps, etc. (and there’s at least one bonus map which the book didn’t provide which is very much appreciated).
The maps are nicely sized with lighting applied, gm-only text, journal notes, and some sound effects.
I particularly like the music and playlists.
Cons:
Walls don’t have the edges snapped, so vision leaks through exposing things you might not want your players to see (this is my biggest beef).
Something is broken with the actors (maybe just on my side?) such that there’s no way I can use them as-is. They don’t seem to have character sheets.
The VTT module is literally the digitized book, but probably should have been broken into two modules: one for the adventure and one for the extra world building chapters of the book. Digging into the VTT module first, I was very confused why a scene map of the town where the adventure starts was detailed in the “Chapter 13” section. That makes sense in a book, but this is a different medium and a direct port doesn’t hold up as well.
It was such a joy to open this adventure in Foundry and see the great organization, depth of content, and quality of content included. As presented there is little work the DM to do, other than to familiarize themselves with the content. Thank you!
Loving this campaign so far. Enjoying the sandbox nature once the party starts piecing things together.
Absolutely amazing! I got the PDF/Foundry-vtt version. Fantastically detailed campaign with tons of room for my players to develop their own stories and the DM (Me) to take liberties when appropriate!
