  • I'm Anathema (Nath), Project Manager for Foundry VTT. Many of you may already know me from my presence on our Community Discord Server, my work on A House Divided, or my involvement with a variety of Paizo product conversions. I'll be joined by several members of our team who have graciously agreed to take some time out of their work to answer questions from our awesome community, including u/atropos_nyx (Andrew, creator and lead developer), u/toon324 (Cody, developer and dev community liaison), u/fyorl (Kim, developer and dnd5e development lead) and u/mattexdee (Matt, content developer and marketing lead)

  • worldbuilding

    A simple game system for Foundry VTT which allows for flexible definition of Actors and Items to assist with worldbuilding or for running games which do not have a more complete system implementation available.

  • Allow me to direct you to the Simple Worldbuilding System which was designed for EXACTLY that purpose.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • dnd5e

    An implementation of the 5th Edition game system for Foundry Virtual Tabletop (http://foundryvtt.com).

  • Regarding the community playing an active role in development, I believe the dnd5e team does accept pull requests- but you can read more about that at their repository.

  • pf2e

    A community contributed game system for Pathfinder Second Edition.

  • I play a lot of Pathfinder 2E, which is also the system that most of the content I develop is for, so I'm very glad it has such a rock-solid developer team.

  • flc

    Foundry Lightweight Client (FLC) is a bloat-free client app for Foundry VTT

  • TokenVariants

  • 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.

  • world-anvil

    A module to integrate World Anvil with Foundry Virtual Tabletop.

  • I wasn't aware the existing integration was bad, but the repository is open source so feel free to file any PRs you'd like:https://github.com/foundryvtt/world-anvil

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • foundryvtt

    Public issue tracking and documentation for Foundry Virtual Tabletop - software connecting RPG gamers in a shared multiplayer environment with an intuitive interface and powerful API.

  • The text editor is foremost aimed at WYSIWYG editing, so it will occasionally edit and restructure the HTML you give it in order to support its WYSIWYG editing capabilities. It sounds like what you're looking for is a raw HTML editing mode that does not assume its content will be edited in anything other than HTML. That is something we could add, we have the markdown editor that does this (but for markdown rather than HTML). I've raised an issue for you here.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
