Tiers Update - Foundry VTT Content (Patreon)
Content
Hey everyone!
The Foundry VTT modules have now moved to the $10+ tiers. To be clear this only affects the Foundry VTT modules and not the regular JPGs or PDFs.
You can still get all the variations as JPGs and printable PDFs at the $5 tier. That won't be changing. If you don't use Foundry VTT this post isn't relevant to you. :)
We announced this decision back in August here and that explains the rationale behind the decision. We pushed back the switch over date several times along with announcements just to make sure everyone had time to download the Foundry links they wanted. If you saved our Foundry module links those are still usable!
The tl;dr is: creating and updating 113+ map packs and 2500+ variations is a lot of work and to continue offering that as a service we needed to hire someone specifically to do that job (hello Ryan!) and the increase in tier price is to cover that.
Ryan has already done a fantastic job of making quality of life changes to the Foundry content that you all asked for in our community feedback posts:
- The map packs have all been renamed so they're more consistent and easy to use within Foundry.
- Walls and lighting improvements across most of our packs.
- Faster release times. We're now aiming to get a Foundry module released within a day or two of a map release instead of a week or two like it was before.
- We now provide both the zip and the json for all the maps as we had many requests about providing the zips.
- The biggest update of all: our entire map library is now on the Moulinette Cloud. This gives you a visual way to search within Foundry for the specific map you want and makes it super quick and easy to import as a scene. (check the video above and these screenshots)
Moulinette Cloud
For those Foundry users who haven't heard of Moulinette:
Moulinette consists of several modules developed for Foundry Virtual Tabletop (FVTT) which facilitate assets management and help GMs create their scenes and campaigns. Assets available on Moulinette Cloud can easily be browsed, searched and downloaded without the need to install, update and host any module.

Accessing Foundry VTT Modules
From now on if you'd like to access our Foundry modules (with or without using Moulinette) you'll need to sign up for our $10 Campaign Connoisseur tier. A link to that is HERE.
At the $10 tier you also get access to all of our Animated Battlemaps which we release for free each month. Those also have Foundry modules too!
We're sorry if anyone is disappointed at the tier update but the additional work of Foundry was becoming untenable and we think this is both the best way of continuing to offer that content and make it better for everyone who wants to use it.
