NOTE! Some of these modules require installing a small ‘helper’ module. Foundry will tell you when those are needed. These are easily installed via the Foundry setup screen.

Here is a JSON file with all the modules I say I use in the video, plus:
- Cautious Gamemaster’s Pack (automatically makes hidden creatures’ rolls “blind rolls,” other features)
- Party Overview (customizable chart summarizing party statistics)
- PF2e Animal Companion Compendia (elements for building companions in PF2e)

(You can import this into your Game World using the “Forien’s Copy Environment” module.)

Foundry also supports integrated Audio/Video chat. I use it in my campaigns, and using Jitsi improves the performance, but the setup for Jitsi is quite involved. See Encounter Library’s excellent tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSLM9wASduU
