ddb-importer VS Tokenmagic

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

You can use the module TokenMagicFX to adjust the token in various ways.

Token Magic FX it'll add a compendium full of all sorts of cool token fx.

Token Magic FX, despite the name, adds magic to more than just tokens! You can set all sorts of defaults for templates, but be aware that when you install it the defaults might be a little more flashy than you're looking for (or they might be exactly to your taste... everyone's different). When you go into the module's settings the Automatic Template Settings is right at the top and that's where you can start tweaking to get things how you'd like them to be.

This is really awesome! You may be able to save yourself some time by adding some dynamic effects with TokenMagicFX. You could have her swoop into the field, hover around her tile, add particle effects, and even cast shadows all without needing to modify the underlying animation at all.

You can use TokenMagic to add depth to the scene by adding shadows to floating characters. Here's an example of how that could look (apologies as I don't have an appropriate map for this): https://i.imgur.com/gOVJRnQ.png

In addition to this you can use (Token Magic FX)[https://github.com/Feu-Secret/Tokenmagic] to make those magic circles glow, highlight important objects, and more with basically 0 additional effort.

There's also the Token Magic FX module which is definitely more advanced, but if you're comfortable editing the guts of a macro, you could write some that would shift between images with a little more fan fare.
