Here are ones that are a bit more complicated but worth a look:

  • Let me Roll that for you! - prompt players to roll checks
  • Multilevel tokens - teleport tokens to other scenes or parts of the map (like for stairs) automatically.

Advantage Reminder for dnd5e

Want to use active effects to give your barbarian advantage on strength ability checks and saving throws when Raging? Don't want to install Midi QOL to do it? Then this module might be for you.


GM Screen - DISABLED

Creates a tabbed modular grid that GMs can populate with journal entries, rollable tables, actors, and items. Customize your "GM Screen" by dragging and dropping items into cells and have its information available at any time from a button on the bottom right of the UI, near the sidebar. Roll rollable tables, open linked entities, and even place actor sheets into these cells. Obviously the space constraints mean some sheets will work better than others.

Additionally, any screen you create as GM can be set to be shared with players, so you can provide them with a cheat sheet that is always readily available to them. Be sure you set the permissions correctly on the entities themselves before trying to share them with players on a screen!

Reward Experience - OBSOLETE

OBSOLETE WITH COMBAT UTILITY BELT OPTION!

Reward Experience is a simple, no configuration, lightweigth module to automatically reward players with experience point at the end of combats.

Experience points are distributed equally to all partipating players like DnD5e rules suggests. While not tested, it should also work with any system as long as distribution method is good enough for you.

Show Art

This module adds a button to the token or tile HUD that opens the target actor's artwork, or their token artwork on right-click. Hold the shift key to automatically show to everyone.

Target Recall - OBSOLETE

OBSOLETED BY MONK'S LITTLE DETAILS

A small module that captures a token's targets at turn end and recalls them on the token's next turn. Particularly useful for GMs running combats with multiple NPCs. The controller can also scroll through the token's combat target history using keys.

Smart Target - OBSOLETE

DEPRECATED BY MONKS LITTLE DETAILS

Tidy UI - Game Settings

OBSOLETED BY V10 CONFIG?

Tired of scrolling through endless Modules or Module Settings to find the one checkbox to change?

Confused by the Layout of checkboxes, buttons and input fields and element spacings?

Now you can experience a cleaner, more readable layout of the module manager and settings tabs.


D&D Beyond Gamelog

Display your D&D Beyond rolls in Foundry VTT with ease!

Less Fog

Minimize Button

A small module that adds a minimize button to the top of windows, instead of having to use the hidden double-click title to minimize feature.

Deprecated Modules

Modules deprecated by other modules (not integrated)

Better Rolls for 5e

DEPRECATED BY MIDI-QOL

Better Rolls for 5e - module that replaces the built in rolling system for DnD5e.

Obsolete Modules

Some good modules that are now obsolete (integrated) - which is good!

Actually Private Rolls

OBSOLETED BY V10? - note: the private rolls are now hidden, but not chat messages

Actually Private Rolls - Hides GM Rolls

Award XP

OBSOLETED BY Monk's Token Bar

Easily award experience points to your players. This module allows you to give out experience points to the group. The XP will divided equally between the players and automatically added to the character sheets. A chat message will inform the players how much experience they received. Additionally, if a character gained enough experience to reach the next level this will be anounced in the chat.

The button to award experience to the players can be found at the bottom of the actors panel.

Beyond20 companion module - OBSOLETE

DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE NEEDED, WHY INSTALL IT??

Beyond20 companion module - helps with beyond20 rolls

Beyond20 is a browser extension that seamlessly integrates D&D Beyond with Foundry VTT.

This module allows the Beyond20 rolls to display properly in the main FVTT window and for other players who do not have the Beyond20 browser extension installed.

Perfect Vision - OBSOLETE

OBSOLETE WITH V10

Darkvision rules for Dungeons & Dragons 3.5e/5e, Pathfinder 1e/2e, and other systems, as well as other lighting/vision features and improvements.

Pings

BUILT INTO V10

Pings - allows pinging on the map

Adds the ability to ping on the map to highlight points of interest. Default is Left Click to ping, Shift + Left Click to move everyone's screen to your ping.

T is for Target

BUILT INTO V9? CERTAINLY V10

A simple module that allows players to target tokens without left clicking. This can speed things up a lot, especially for DMs utilizing combat automation. Hover over a token and press T to target it.

Broken Modules

These are modules that should work, but were broken in V10

Dead Modules

These are modules that are broken, and no longer maintained by the Author

Follow Me

Follow Me is a module for Foundry VTT that allows tokens to follow or be followed by other tokens.

Macros

Show Journal

game.journal.getName("Name of Journal Entry").sheet.render(true)

ref: [7]


Doesn't work?: 

JournalEntry.collection.getName("your_journal_entrys_name").show()

ref [8]

My version: 

a = game.journal.getName("Room1");
a.update({permission:{default:2}});
a.show();

There is a delay issue where it doesn't work on the first hit though? Maybe needs a callback first?

Show Actor Sheet

game.actors.getName(character.name).sheet.render(true);

game.actors.getName('Celestyca').sheet.render(true);

Opens Character sheet for current token or controlled actor:
