Unused

  • Better Rolls for 5e - reduces number of clicks when rolling combat. not really needed when using Beyond20
  • Chat Damage Buttons, Beyond20 Edition - buttons in chat to deal damage/healing through Foundry character sheets
  • DnDBeyond NPC Sheet - adds an additional NPC sheet. probably just uninstall this
  • Dramatic Rolls - add sound effects to nat 20 or nat 1. if Confetti add-on installed, will use on nat 20
  • Not Your Turn! - block token movement if not the token's turn
  • Tabletop RPG music - free fantasy music!

Consider Uninstalling

  • Quick combat - tweaks to combat experience. playlist, rolling initiative
  • Random Encounters - create random encounters for a scene. seems complicated
  • Reset Movement - return combatant to where it was at the beginning of the turn

Think About Installing

  • Confetti - Adds confetti! can be triggered on Nat 20's w/Dramatic Rolls add-on
  • Polyglot - what languages do your characters speak?
  • Monk's Little Details - Quality of Life improvements, e.g. better status effects, scene compendium squashed view, others
  • Simplefog - simple fog of war layer
  • Multilevel Tokens - teleport/clone tokens between areas!!
  • Lock View - lock what players can view
  • Forien's Quest Log - Keep track of quests for the party

Not Used Anymore

  • Active Auras - propogate auras onto other tokens, e.g. Aura of Protection. works with Active Effects. Tied to using FVTT character sheets to be effective
  • DnD5e Helpers - a bunch of little things, mostly tied to FVTT character sheet usage. Actively maintained
  • Torchlight - TorchLight HUD controls. I like Torch a tiny bit better, but this still has potential

Figure out these ones...

  • DAE (dynamic active effects)
  • DAE w/SRD
  • FXMaster (weather effects to map!)
  • Compendium Folders
  • Compendium Image Mapper
  • NPC Chatter
  • Expander
  • Jinker's Animated Art
  • Midi QOL - auto-targets tokens in a spell's template
  • Monk's Little Details
  • Not Your Turn
  • Torch
  • Turn Marker - is Combat Ready a better option?

Look into installing

  • Bellows - how well does it work for playlists?
  • token action HUD(?) or something like that...
  • popout resizer!
  • critter DB import - import homebrew monsters?
  • legend keeper importer - keep notes in legend keeper website?
  • maestro
  • easy target - target tokens with alt-click
  • the furnace
  • token info icons
  • MESS spell effects
  • token aura
  • trigger happy... maybe
  • let me roll that for you - works w/Midi QOL to let players roll their own saving throws (from foundry, not dndbeyond of course)

Random notes

  • table ninja shows up on player view?

Module ideas

  • look into modifying SoundBoard by Blitz to select multiple libraries/use from other installed modules w/audio
  • custom view to tag your own modules for people who install a lot?
  • mash-up Not Enough NPC's: a 5e NPC Generator w/tokens on imgur?
  • webm preview in file browser

Things to look into

  • troubleshoot what modules are CPU intensive
  • figure out targeting in combat
  • cool roll tables for the jungle
    • automatically connect to tokens!
  • blank/template battle map
  • sounds!
    • go through sonniss stuff and categorize it for better soundboard
  • campaign organization ideas for all scenes/actors/etc.
