Foundry VTT module to support phased maps

Easy Phasey allows you to quickly setup phased maps in Foundry - maps that change over the course of the battle. Why not just use different scenes? Because switching scenes requires you to then reset a bunch of other things like tokens, fog of war, etc. This module handles all that for you.

You just create a folder with the scenes you want to use for the phases, and then use the module to setup the order. You can then move through the scenes (forward and back) with the click of a button. Easy Phasey.

Why phased maps? If you're reading this you probably already know, but there are a variety of use cases for phased maps:

• Battles that change over time to put pressure on the characters (rising water, lava changing patterns, walls closing in)
• Transition a map between times of day, weather, etc.
• Easily time when and where new actors should appear
• Probably others I can't think of at the moment

Current features

Feature requests?

• Select any folder of scenes to use for the phases
• Choose the order the phases should appear, and mark scenes to skip
• Track the chosen phases/order as well as the current phase you're in for each folder (i.e. you can have multiple phased scenes in various parts of their progression at once)
• Choose to ignore stray tokens in the phases as you progress or to merge them in --- this lets you use phases to automatically add additional actors when they come up

Issues?

If you believe you found a bug or would like to post a feature request, head over to the module's Github repo and open a new issue.

Languages

English, French, and German currently supported. Let me know if you want others. PRs also welcome for either new languages or fixes to bad translations in the current ones.

Support

I'm happy to do this for free, as I primarily work on things I like to use myself. But if you'd like to buy me a root beer, I love knowing that people are using my projects and like them enough to make the effort. It's really appreciated!
