Grimmtale Studios

Modules for Foundry VTT, built for tables that want the fiddly parts of a session handled properly rather than hand-waved.

Modules

Grimmtale Library installs itself

The shared foundation Camp Out and Dynamic Spectator both sit on: the v12 and v13 compatibility layer, combat turn tracking that fires on every client rather than just the GM's, and the window and settings plumbing. Nothing to configure.

You do not install this one by hand. Foundry pulls it in as a dependency the first time you install either of the others, and updates it alongside them.

Camp Out v12 and v13

Camping stops being a line of narration. The party plans the night on a shared grid - who takes which watch, who cooks, who mends kit, who keeps an eye on the prisoner - and the night plays out shift by shift.

Assignment is drag and drop. Your own cells are the only ones you can drop into, and everyone else's stay concealed until the shift is played out or the GM reveals them, so nobody plans around what the rest of the table has already committed to. Rations are tracked as real supplies and eaten when the party commits to the night, not settled up afterwards.

Dynamic Spectator system agnostic v12 and v13

Watch the game through any token's eyes. A downed player, a player who arrived late, or a whole table following the scout who went on ahead - each of them gets that token's vision and lighting rather than a GM's-eye view of the map.

The camera follows without fighting you: it owns position only, so your own zoom survives. Escape releases the view, and if combat starts the module can hand a spectator the active combatant automatically and give the view back when the encounter ends.

Installing

  1. Subscribe, and get your links

    Each subscriber gets their own install link per module, sent directly. The key is part of the link, so there is nothing to type into Foundry beyond the URL itself.

  2. Paste one into Foundry

    In Foundry, open Add-on Modules, choose Install Module, and paste your link into the Manifest URL box at the bottom.

    https://packages.grimmtalestudios.com/k/<your-key>/camp-out/module.json

  3. Updates arrive the normal way

    Foundry remembers the link and checks it like any other module, so new releases show up in the update list with everything else. Checking for updates is free and unlimited - it never counts against your downloads.

Your links are yours. Each one allows a handful of downloads between releases, which comfortably covers a live server, a test world and a retry or two - but not a group. Passing a link round spends your own allowance, so keep them to yourself. How the allowance works.

Questions

How many times can I download?

Each module link allows five downloads, and every release refills it. In practice that is five per module per release, which covers a live server, a development world, and a couple of retries if a download goes wrong.

What does not count as a download?

Checking for updates is free. So are these:

Only a module that was successfully delivered to you counts.

I have run out. What now?

Get in touch and we will reset it. There is no charge and no limit on asking - the cap exists to make sharing a link inconvenient, not to ration honest use.

What if I cancel?

Everything you have installed stays installed and keeps working at the version you have. You simply stop receiving new releases. Resubscribing picks up where you left off.

Which Foundry versions are supported?

Foundry v12 and v13.
