Transitioning to FoundryVTT Part 7: Traps!

We're back with Vox as he learns the ropes of FoundryVTT. In this episode, we're continuing with Monk's Active Tile Triggers with every sadistic DM's favorite thing: traps! We go through creating a completely automated trap to really wow Vox's players, probably with fear. You can really see how the sausage gets made here as we both over-engineer a tile and show a simpler approach to get a really amazing result. Along the way we share a lot of laughs as Vox... introduces Baileywiki's character to the trap, and he sees the power of MATT automation!

Another incredibly valuable tip that we go over in this episode is how to test your player's view of a scene, so make sure to check that out as well!

Next session, we go through some of the ins-and-outs of creating actors and items, then dive into combat automation! As always, let us know what questions you may have for us or Vox, and what we should cover next!
