Gold Manager D&D 5e | CtrlAltDefeat
Foundry VTT Module for D&D5e, v14
I am releasing my Foundry VTT module Gold Manager D&D 5e, a player- and GM-friendly gold management system that removes friction, cuts down on bookkeeping, and keeps games moving.
It's built for my own long-running campaigns and works at any D&D5e table that wants currency handled from one clean UI instead of the character sheet.
What This Module Does
Gold Manager means you don't have to keep opening character sheets just to manage currency. Everything happens in one centralized UI, which opens with Shift+G or the included compendium macro.
Core Features
- Add, remove, or set gold instantly
- Transfer gold directly between players
- Split gold automatically across the entire party
- Exchange currency types (PP ⇄ GP ⇄ SP ⇄ CP)
- Built-in calculator for fast math
- Undo button to revert mistakes safely
- Clear chat cards for every payout
Party Targeting System
At the top of the UI you choose how gold is applied:
- All: affect the entire party
- Selected: affect currently selected tokens
- Single: choose a specific character from a dropdown
Use Split Amount with "All" to divide gold evenly across every party member.
Currency Exchange
- Convert GP to PP, SP, or CP, and back
- Any remainder that doesn't convert cleanly is returned in the next lowest denomination
- No currency is created or destroyed. Value is just redistributed correctly.
Built-in Calculator
Click the calculator icon for a full keypad. Use it to split loot, work out service costs, or do conversions without leaving the UI.
Ledger System (GM Tool)
Every transaction is logged automatically, and the ledger is visible to the GM only.
- Time-stamped, with player name included
- Color-coded per player (supports up to 10 players)
- Tracks adds, removes, transfers, exchanges, and undo actions
- Lets you audit gold use, settle disputes, and review purchases or loot after a session
Player vs GM Access
- GM View: full control, ledger access, targeting, and permissions
- Player View: a streamlined UI focused on their own gold and transfers
