Do THIS to run a better Foundry game | Foundry VTT Tips

This video is about running a smooth Foundry VTT game. Here are all the things I try to do to keep the game moving. I've included all my must-have modules that I use on the regular, and how I organize everything on foundry. These things help me run a VTT game more efficiently. I try to keep my module list down and simple because that is what works best for me. But remember what I do is what I found works for me. You need to find what works best for you AND your players. And when you do find that, please share it with me in the comments or on our discord!

--//-- THE MODULES --//--
These are the Foundry VTT Modules I mentioned. Just copy these links and then paste them into the "manifest URL" and hit install to add them to your Foundry Server. I put them in alphabetical (not based on when they showed up in the video). I'll also put a brief summary of my use in the "(parenthesis)".

--//-- ABOUT KYLIE & CANTRIPS MEDIA --//--
Cantrips Media creates handmade notebooks, journals, and stationery products for TTRPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder 2e, and more. It's run by me, Kylie, out of our small studio space near Pittsburgh, PA with the help of my new assistant. I created this channel to help share some of my tips and tricks for D&D 5e as well as how to use some of my creations in your D&D campaigns. Slowly I've started expanding to other TTRPGs!
