Update on what I'm doing now

Hello dear, wonderful and awesome Patrons and Followers!

This post is especially for those of you, who use Foundry vtt in its newest version 11. For the rest of you dear community it's just an information, a heart beat that I'm out there, feeling quite well, missing my RPG sessions (therefore planning them!), thinking about the new map ideas and on the route to normal. :)

Together with this disaster month for me it came something else. Something incomparably smaller, yet annoying and irritating. Along with Foundry chaning its version, they changed the structure of the database. That's something we shouldn't be worried, of course! Why should I care about their database? Well, it seems I should.

As you probably know, most of the modules for Foundry, are downloaded by manifest link - no matter if you see them in their marketplace, or on my webpage, there is always a link. This link points to the json file that tells Foundry what to download, whether it's a map, who is the author, what compendium packs are there, how the walls are set up - everything. You may feel it already, the point is, everythign in the file must be exactly in the right place, has a right label, each coma needs to be exactly in the right place. What version 11 did? Well they changed teh file structure, leaving almost all my maps obsolete, with no option to download.

It's not pouring out my frustration (maybe a little!), anyway I made a peace with that fact. I'm on the process of changing those files structure, so the modules can be easy downloaded once again.

Second thing I'm doing - I use the potential of version 11. Making an actual Adventure module for Lost Mines. The module will have the Lost Mines maps as you know it, but they'll be optimized for older hardware setups and... what's more important, the maps, will be populated with the monsters!

Most moster you'll know from the official LMOP adventure, but some are outside of SRD licensing, so I had to made couple of somersaults, tweaking their names and appearences. Don't worry they'll have the names that allow you to place them in your adventure in the right way :)

Well, that's it. I'm slowly turning this Patreon into some blog, lol!

Oh yeah! Be sure to tell me about your experience with Baldur's Gate 3! I love the game!

Cheers!
