Quick Poll: Foundry v14 & D&D v6 (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

If you’ve been following our releases this month, you probably noticed that we mentioned we were planning to switch to Foundry v14 and D&D v6 only starting next month.

Some of you have asked if we could delay this a little longer, so we wanted to make a quick poll to see what your plans are for Foundry v14 and D&D v6. This will help us decide how to handle development in the near future.

We also wanted to explain why we’re excited to move development toward the new versions.

With Foundry v14, and especially D&D v6, we can now do a lot more directly with the core system. For example, we can create difficult terrain that actually slows token movement, and effects that expire at the beginning or end of a turn can now expire correctly.

These are things we’ve been waiting years to have available directly in the core system.

We can also make darkness and light work properly on spell templates and regions, without needing custom tokens or other workarounds.

Our plan is to add automation to our spell animations where needed, and update our magic items and monster compendiums as soon as possible to take advantage of all these new features. We think this will improve gameplay a lot, and as players ourselves, we’re really excited to start using them.

Once we start updating everything around the new systems, maintaining compatibility with two major Foundry and D&D versions at the same time would be impossible while also continuing to create new content and features.

So before we move further in that direction, we’d really like to hear what your plans are. 😊
