Foundry VTT Update (Patreon)

Hi everyone!

Thanks again to everyone who took the time to respond to the various polls and questionnaires here and on Discord. There was a lot to read but we're super grateful to have such active patrons!

From the first week of October we'll be moving the Foundry VTT files from the $5 tier to the $10 tier. 

Just so everyone is clear on what this means: this only affects the Foundry specific walls/dynamic light files that are available from this post.

If you use our jpeg files or our PDF files, nothing will be changing for you. 

All the jpeg maps and variations will still be available for $5 tier patrons. The only thing moving is the files we provide for Foundry VTT.

Why are we doing this? This is to cover the costs of hiring someone dedicated to creating the Foundry files for us and setting up the walls and lighting (his name is Ryan, please say hi!). Most importantly the cost is there to cover the coming updates to Foundry VTT which will likely mean updating all of our VTT files. This is means though that we'll be able to get the Foundry versions to you sooner and Ryan will also be around to answer questions on the Discord if you have any issues with any of them.

We're telling everyone this way in advance so that there's a whole month between now and the change over. This means you can download Foundry zip files and then decide whether you want to increase your pledges or not in future.

A frequent request has been for a master module, which we won't be providing for a multitude of reasons, not least as it would be almost unusable due to how Foundry indexes compendiums on load. All of our maps and variations comes to about 23gb of files, which no one wants to have to have to load up each time they boot up Foundry.

But one of Ryan's first tasks in October will be renaming all of the Foundry files so they're consistent and make it easier for users to group our modules together. 

We plan to also prepare our Foundry files for those users who use the Moulinette Cloud module, which will provide even easier sorting and access to our maps.

We hope these quality of life changes will make DMing easier for everyone.

Thank you for being understanding. Also stick around because we'll be releasing a new map after this post! :)
