Re: Playing GURPS with the help of FoundryVTT
I'm almost hooked to try foundry but this fish is playing with the hook. The issue I'm having is what my options are to host.
What does my computer capability need to be to host. Other than the services listed on their partners page what sort of services can host. Should I expect to host just the maps and game play elements there and the voice and audio elsewhere? Assuming your tastes are rather plebian. (get a map, put tokens on it, make them movable by GM and players depending on whose token it is, be able to set move distance so we can count it) How long would you spend setting up a map that was ready to go to be a foundry map? When you are new? When you are experienced?

Re: Playing GURPS with the help of FoundryVTT
Your home computer doesn't need to be that beefy to host the software. I've seen examples of people hosting their Foundry instance on a Raspberry Pi.
Anyone that connects to the software (you included) needs a modern web browser (Google Chrome works best on PCs), and that is about it. Quote:

Pretty much any cloud or vps hosting should be able to handle it no problem. Some shared type accounts may also be able to do so. I believe most are not using foundry for the voice/audio. I hear they are improving the support for sound, but it may be a few months before that is out of beta. A blank map can be done very quickly. My first map took me about 20 minutes to get lighting and walls configured. I did the next 3 in about 8-10 each. |

Re: Playing GURPS with the help of FoundryVTT
Thanks. Sounds like I will invest in. I think there is a sale starting tomorrow and I will probably pick it up

Re: Playing GURPS with the help of FoundryVTT
Best VTT+system on the market. Hands down.
I“m GMing and also playing GURPS with Foundry+GGA and it“s been great, the support is awesome and the releases are constant with relevant improvements and new features. I“m hosting locally. My PC: - AMD Ryzen 3 3200G / 4 threads - 3.6 GHz - AMD Radeon RX 480 8 GB VRAM - 16 GB RAM - Internet Speed: 101mb/download | 96mb/upload As for the time required to set up a "basic" session, if you already have the map, the tokens, the character sheets, then you just need uploading and it should take you 5-10 minutes. My playlist suggestion for newcommers: - Foundry tutorial: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL...YwHY4vvA_yME7m - GGA crash course: https://youtu.be/YstMNNLwKBM |

Re: Playing GURPS with the help of FoundryVTT
The code is done (and the bug fixes applied ;-) )! And the "How to add Items" video has been created: https://youtu.be/cOU78-RvXdc
Check it out! Maybe this will work for you.

Re: Playing GURPS with the help of FoundryVTT
At the moment, the GURPS Game Aid for Foundry doesn't support the latest version of FoundryVTT, which is 0.8.something. We should start working on that in the very near future. But you may need to load the last 0.7.x version if you want to start playing GURPS immediately.

The current Beta version of Foundry is 0.8.5, which the GGA does not yet support... and yes, I am looking into it (we had to get Items working!)

Re: Playing GURPS with the help of FoundryVTT
Great tools, thanks for doing all this work. You convinced me to pick up Foundry on sale and start playing around with the Game Aid in combination with GCS.
