[PF2e] Considering moving our game to Foundry from R20, but our GM isn't great with technology

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/FoundryVTT

  • If you do it this way, Foundry might not help much. It can certainly be used in this way, but it is capable of so much more. On the plus side, you can ease into those additional features as you (and her) gain more familiarity with it. I highly recommend using the built in character sheets and passing some of the automation off to Foundry. Even if you don't, Foundry may still have some benefits over Roll20. The 3d dice (using the Dice So Nice! module) are much better and more customizable, which helps bring a more table like experience. The journal capabilities are better, and improving in the next version (10), so if she shares handouts or likes to keep her notes in the VTT, this can be a significant QoL improvement. Combat management is easier, with the turn tracker keeping track of elapsed rounds, which allows effects to use that info for determining expiration.
