What is Foundry VTT? Should I be using it for my game?
Seminar, Game Master Workshop | One-Shot
About the adventure
What does Foundry VTT look like? How does it work? Is it something I should consider using in my *own* games? If you're a GM who is currently running your games via Roll 20, Fantasy Grounds, Owlbear Rodeo, or any *other* Virtual Tabletop, here's a chance for you to take a look at an alternative platform and see if it's something you'd be interested in. During this 2 hour-long(ish) GM Workshop, we'll be taking a look at Foundry VTT in terms of: ✅ Cost ✅ Hosting Options ✅ Player Features ✅ GM Features ✅ Customization ✅ Wishes & Stars Disclaimer: Please note that this workshop is *NOT*: ❌ an attempt to "convert" you to Foundry VTT. (If you like the VTT you're currently using, great! Keep using it.) ❌ a place to ask for tech support. (There are *hundreds* of YouTube videos on "how" to do things in Foundry VTT. This isn't one of them.) I'm looking forward to introducing you to this unique and powerful Virtual Tabletop platform.
