ddb-importer VS TokenVariants

For those who find this through search, here are the importers I discussed: Import List Status: https://docs.ddb.mrprimate.co.uk/status.html Adventure Mucher: https://docs.ddb.mrprimate.co.uk/ (ingest D&D Beyond adventure) Importer: https://github.com/MrPrimate/ddb-importer (import D&D Beyond adventure)

This is an addon to Foundry. Syncing to Beyond. From Beyond to Foundry is free. Although if you want to sync, it requires a Patreon. https://github.com/MrPrimate/ddb-importer

It's probably just been fixed- the guy that develops it seems absurdly active.

It gives you whatever you've paid for on DDB. So if you only have the PHB, you only get the PHB backed up into Foundry for example. I'm not sure how it maps because I haven't inspected the code lol.

Since WotC haven't licensed anything for Foundry, Foundry itself only contains the SRD material for 5E. To get LMoP into Foundry in the simplest way possible, you'll want to use something like the D&D Beyond Importer, a tutorial video for which is available here.

Overview of the module: https://github.com/MrPrimate/ddb-importer

The Token Variant Art module can handle this (scroll down to Image to User Mappings). You'll probably need to write some macros to change things on the fly though.

Token Variant Art - Makes it possible for a token to have purely visual token variations. Better than Wildcard since it isn't forced to be random. Very unintuitive to work with however.

There is a short clip under this release: https://github.com/Aedif/TokenVariants/releases/tag/2.14.0

if you want more control with your wildcarded tokens there are a few modules that can help, for example token hud wildcard will add a simple right click menu to a token to chose which image to use (not officially updated to v10 but it should work), token variant art will give you A LOT more options about using multiple images on a token, even different images for different players if you want.

I used Token Variant Art for this... it is pretty nice and maintained. I have worked with Aedif and he has made enhancements to the module recently. https://github.com/Aedif/TokenVariants

There is also a not fully automatic , but still very useful feature on Token variant art module https://github.com/Aedif/TokenVariants .
