We've made an extension for Owlbear.

For people who have been struggling with alt tabbing to check their sheets and etc, my friend made an extension to simplify and make the process faster while having as much freedom as possible! I have provided some pictures of the extension.

And the extension comes with a site to make your characters etc. Here it is! :

New: Effortless Map Alignment in OBR

As you can see, there's a new way to align your maps in Owlbear Rodeo, and we think it's the best we've ever made! These new tools can be used in the Scene Importer and Edit Defaults pages in your Asset Manager, as well as used directly on a map in your current Scene, as shown here.

The previous method of tweaking map alignment is still available, renamed to 'Transform Image', which is what it really does 😁

Here's the blog post where Mitch traces his thinking through a few different implementations of map alignment tools, settling on the new tools that he released today:

Coming Soon - SoundBoard+ A bridge between OBR controls and Kenku FM

Soundboard+ is a two part app/extension consisting of a webapp to create and manage soundboards and an OBR Extension to send triggers and control it.

  • 3 types of audio tracks
    • Music for background
    • Ambience for environment
    • Effects for one off sound effects like explosions
  • Apply a soundboard to a scene
  • Create triggers, currently there are two types of triggers but planning more integration later
    • Scene Load Trigger: this is your default on load start the music
    • Manual: Push the button
  • Two ways to use triggers: Presets or Actions
    • Presets: Set the full soundboard music and ambience settings and save it as a preset, triggering to a preset resets the soundboard to that saved state
    • Actions: Used to play 1+ effects, create an action with explosion and screams effects and trigger both with a single click

Free vs Premium

Like all my extensions I will make the core of it free, but will need to be limited for free users as the storage costs and communications run on my missinglinkdev server and costs will grow quickly. So here's whats going to be free vs paid:

  • Free
    • 150mb of file storage and 3 max boards
  • Wyrmling
    • 1gb of storage and unlimited boards
  • Adult Dragon
    • 3gb of storage
  • Ancient Dragon
    • 10gb of storage

As always, love this community and glad to contribute where I can and will let you know when I get it hosted and ready for public use (in a few days). If want to get ahead with supporting the final development you can check out my Patreon

If you have any request or suggestions let me know. This is version 1.0 and have quite a few additional ideas planned in the future

Moving from Roll20 to Owlbear Rodeo for a Shadowdark campaign - Extension recommendations?

¡Hola a todos!

Soy usuario de Roll20 desde hace mucho tiempo (versión gratuita) y actualmente me estoy cambiando a Owlbear Rodeo para mi próxima campaña de Shadowdark. Busco una experiencia más sencilla y fluida, y me entusiasma especialmente usar las funciones de niebla de guerra para explorar mazmorras sin tener que pagar por Roll20.

Como soy nuevo en el ecosistema de OBR, me encantaría recibir recomendaciones sobre extensiones imprescindibles para Shadowdark. En concreto, busco:

  1. Extensiones específicas para Shadowdark: He visto extensiones como Shadow Crawler y Shadow Sheet, pero me gustaría saber cuáles les parecen más estables o útiles para controlar las antorchas y las rondas de exploración.
  2. Lanzador de dados: Necesito una extensión de dados que facilite y haga más intuitiva la adición de modificadores (como +2, -1, etc.) para mis jugadores.
  3. Utilidad general: ¿Alguna joya oculta para OBR que ayude con la investigación, la imaginación o el seguimiento de condiciones/HP?

Además, ¿dónde sueles buscar nuevas extensiones aparte de la tienda oficial?

¡Gracias de antemano por la ayuda! Tengo muchas ganas de dejar atrás la incomodidad de mi antiguo VTT.

Dynamic Fog Extension: Can I add a door icon that the players can see?

I have a night time map and there are a couple of locked doors to get into the building, but they are kind of hard to make out with the fog in place. Is there a way that the door icon can be made visible to the players just to indicate that there is a door there?

Thanks for the help!

Deleted all of my scenes - can I recover?

I did a boo-boo. I opened up an old room I've never really used and deleted all of my scenes, assuming that it was a test version of my other room. I didn't realize that the scenes were shared, nor did I read the perfectly clear warning.

Is there a way to get my scenes back after deleting them?

Character Sheets

I love OR and have loved using it for our campaign, we all use Aurora for creating characters as my friend had access to a TON of add-ons for races and classes etc and we extract as a PDF

Was wondering what people use for their character sheets and if there is an easy way to have them on screen so my players dont constantly need to tab out to their PDF

Monster stats

Sorry I'm really new to this, I've been running and using OBR because it's lightweight and does everything I need.

I have a screen behind the DM screen and a screen on the table for my players.

Currently I'm flicking to a one note with all my monsters stats. Was wondering if there's an add on so I can have that information on the OBR page so I'm not switching between tabs.

Can I integrate D&D 5e sheets with the owlbear vtt

As the title said is there an effective way to integrate d&d 5e character sheets with owlbear rodeo.

My current setup includes using dicecloud for character sheets, owlbear for maps and discord for communication.

Also any other ways to improve this setup?

In some scenes, after dragging a map image onto the canvas, it cannot be selected for moving or deleting. It's like it sticks to the canvas. What am I doing wrong that I cannot select it? I can still select tokens and move them. Thanks!

So, I'm already loving Forge and the updates it's made upon Clash. I'm wondering, though, if it's possible to edit what is seen in the main panel. I use a different extension for things like status effects, and I don't need to see the different actions since I have a GM screen in a different page. Can I pick and choose what is visible in that main panel?

Hi everyone,

I have a game coming up tomorrow where I’m expecting to run a puzzle that I’ve been planning for my party. It is a puzzle where the party has to cross a chasm by moving floating platforms using a series of buttons located around the room.

Puzzle logic aside, I’m trying to think of the best way to make this work in Rodeo. I initially thought of just building multiple different versions of the map, but there would be far too many permutations of the platform positions for that to be worth the trouble.

With that in mind, is there a way for me to place a platform object on the VTT? It would just be a 30x15 rectangle that I would just need to slide places as the players press buttons to adjust the map. Any thoughts would very much be appreciated!

So I’ve been loving Owlbear recently, learning how to use the app and checking out all the extensions. Amazing job.

I started out with Dynamic Fog 2.0 and I love the ease of use. However I really like having my players able to see the door icons and interact with them. So I switched over to Smoke and Spectre because it has that feature.

Dynamic Fog has a really nice way to quickly trim the fog inside each object you create on the fly, fully revealing a room or hiding it.

I can’t seem to find this same feature or something similar in Smoke and Spectre.

For example: when a player enters a well lit friendly tavern from outside that was previously obstructed by its walls / door I don’t want them to have to walk around the whole tavern to reveal the fog from that room, I want to just flick a switch and reveal it for them.

I realize I could populate every room with lit torches / other lit “character” pseudo objects but I’m wondering if I’m just missing something maybe before I go adding light sources everywhere?

About the Owlbear deck

I want to run some TTRPGs that use a full deck of cards instead of dice, like Castle Falkenstein and FAITH 2.0. One of their main features is that both the players and the GM have hands of cards, no one can see each other’s hands (like in poker), and there’s also quick drawing and discarding of cards. Which bots and settings should I use to make this work?
