Hi guys, how is everyone? I hope you are feeling great!
During the preparation and the launch of the new website, there might be times that vttassets.com is not accessible of somethings not working correctly. Therefore, I am posting links to all assets in their latest versions in this post so you can actually install everything without a hassle.
When using those links, you w...
2020-02-28 12:54:38 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys,
decision time! There are things that are bothering me about the current Iconizer implementation:
a) the icon database is freaking huge, even while it's just a simple text lookup DB, every client needs to download that and that could be improved
b) I manually created the name's list in the database by adding all possible items to characters on D&D Beyond and...
2020-02-25 11:56:20 +0000 UTC View PostAttached, you will find the most recent Chrome Extension and Companion module. If you could install both and test-drive them, that would be very neat. Please notice the new and amazing looking Popup and Options page in the Chrome Extension, which will guide you through an authorization dialog with Patreon in order to unlock the extension's mode from "Basic" to "Patreon" (see below).
Guys, I really owe you one. And I get it, I keep repeating myself: I do apologize for being quite absent in the last couple of days. As some of you might know: We are getting a baby and... it's complicated, medical-wise. I don't want to go into details here, just to get this off my chest:
Anyone not satisfied, please send me a PM, I will gladly refund you, no questions asked. I do this f...
Since you will be able to download the newest versions which do not support Foundry 0.4.3 any longer, I will keep a post around for you to manually download the prior versions for that right from this post. Sorry @all, I should have made that when I updated the modules by my own, but thanks for reminding me!
Use the modules below on Foundry VTT 0.4.3, and get the modules ...
2020-01-15 21:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostDearest Patrons,
n3rf_herder notified me, that the Login is currently broken, which I can confirm. What I can confirm, too, is that Patreon changed something in their authentification process and I am currently reaching out to their platform support to resolve that issue.
Fact is: We are not alone, other devs are reporting the same issue and I do hope that we will get so...

In this guide, I want to go through the initial setup of a new Foundry VTT installation on Microsoft Windows 10 and Microsoft Chromium Edge Browser.
The following software versions are used, so if you are watching this video later, your version numbers might be different and the behaviour might have changed, too:
I want to personally thank all my wonderful patrons, not only for spending their hard-earned cash for me, but especially for the great bug reports, suggestions and overall very (personally) rewarding experience in having to deal with you lovely bunch of people :)
As part of me giving back to everyone, the latest pre-release of the vtta-dndbeyond importer module is available for everyone t...
2019-12-24 11:26:24 +0000 UTC View PostGood evening, my fellow patreons! With some fuzzy feelings, I do present a private beta for you to dig into. This beta consists of three parts forming one nice, and giant (10k+ lines of code in total) framework that is the basis of the future development of the bridge between Foundry VTT and your content on D&D Beyond.
I do not want to write too much about the usage of those mod...
2019-12-19 23:41:29 +0000 UTC View PostGood morning everyone,
I changed the way the manifest.json files are delivered based on your user IDs within my patreon so you will be able to install the updates/modules from the websites as of pre 0.4.1 again. I haven't heard or seen any follow-up if the change within Foundry will be permanent, but now we are flying again - thanks for your patience, I would have hoped that this is...
2019-12-06 09:04:58 +0000 UTC View PostGood news, folks! Today, Foundry 0.4.1 hit the broader public and I managed to release one widely used module (Tokenizer) and two integral modules for the Integration of D&D Beyond into Foundry as a stable version. Well, as stable as I could test it myself, I will await your feedback!
The downloads are accessible at vttassets.com, no need to download the preview versions from the Patr...
2019-11-21 16:04:29 +0000 UTC View PostToday is a "Thank you, my dear Patreons" day, and I am so happy to have you all on board. I enjoy your insights and your requests, and while it is sometimes a tiny crunch to deliver, it still is really fun for me to combine two things I really love: Tinkering and coding and roleplaying with the best roleplaying system in the world ;)
As a small thank you, I will release something that isn...

Hi everyone!
I just released the latest release of the D&D Beyond and Foundry Bridge that brought a very nice set of features for everyone to enjoy. Most notable is probably are the 488 spells and 1570 items that each have an fitting icon set to them (please watch the video from my last post on how to set upthose nifty icons), the working character import including spells, trait...

I created a small tutorial about Foundry VTT in combination with the VTTA modules (DDB Bridge with spell, character and monster import and the Iconizer). I even discovered some behaviour that shouldn't be like this, but that's life, right? Enjoy!
2019-10-12 17:18:05 +0000 UTC View PostDear Patreons,
currently, the login with Patreon is currently not working, since they mysteriously changed things on their backend without providing additional information. I like the easy of use of the Patreon website, but their technical side is giving me constant headaches.
We will need to sit this one out, and just hope that they respond on their technical channels, or res...
2019-10-04 08:12:30 +0000 UTC View PostHi everybody!
In the last two weeks I had plenty of time to work on all fronts:
- Bridge (Monster Import) has been updated and released for you lovely patreons, and your feedback is coming in, gradually adjusting and improving the parsing quality and therefore the resulting data
- Character Import has been worked on, too, and I am ...
2019-09-30 10:23:09 +0000 UTC View PostI put up the latest development alpha for you to test and hopefully enjoy. I packaged it with a rough Foundry module that allows configuration of default compendiums that allows me to push updates to the Chrome extension to you using the Foundry update mechanism, too.
From now on, all updates will be available to you through the normal channels: 2019-09-25 08:00:07 +0000 UTC View Post
I needed some basic icons for the different spell schools - so I got creative (well, you might disagree ;)):
All of the eight spell schools (abjuration, conjuration, divination, enchantment, evocation, illusion, necromancy and transmutation) drawn with a used, painted look. I choose the colors based on [2019-09-25 05:44:54 +0000 UTC View Post
This is an alpha preview of the chrome extension that parses content on dndbeyond.com (currently: monsters and spells), and imports those into an open and readied Foundry VTT chrome tab.
Be aware: Things will break and functionality is not guaranteed. This is a preview alpha for my patreons to have a first look at the chrome extension to import monsters and spells into yo...
2019-09-20 19:09:52 +0000 UTC View PostDelivering a great atmosphere to my players is a great concern of mine, and I was just not satisfied with the audio quality of my ambience sounds that I fed into Discord by using a sophisticated Voicemeet Banana setup (check that software out, it's great in it's own accord). I then learned that Discord bots can have a way better audio quality that is suited for music, too and I started digging....
2019-09-13 09:39:18 +0000 UTC View PostThis weekend was great fun and a nice success for me. I have revamped the whole website (on the internals, there's not a big difference from the user-perspective going on, but I am way quicker to release stuff for my patreons right now.
