Vagabond - Pulp Fantasy Roleplaying Game

This is an non-official adaptation for Foundry VTT of Indestructoboy's (Taron Pounds) RPG system, Vagabond.

Check the awesome books here: Vagabond - Land of the Blind.

You need the book (digital or paperback) to have access to the compendia containing the content.

Features

New feature: Item FX — Per-Item Animations:

Weapons, alchemicals, and relics can now have their own Sequencer animations configured directly on the item sheet. Set different files and sounds for hits and misses, choose between melee (impact at target) and ranged (beam to target) styles. For weapons the animation type is derived automatically from the weapon skill. Requires the Sequencer module.

New feature: Focused Spells:

Spellcasters now have a Focus track visible in the Spells panel. The Mana icon in Combat encounter also highlights if any spell is marked as Focused.

New feature: Sequencer Animations Panel (YouTube video below):

New feature: Full Homebrew:

Always wanted a system to call it yours? now you have it. With the new homebrew panel you have the freedom to edit almost everything in the system from names to formulas, dice rolls and limits. And after that export and import other homebrews to play in your tables.

Remember that when you change a key you effectively break the use of that particular element in the system, so if ypu want to change more than labels go for it, but go full: create new items, classes, perks, ancestries and so on, after you have set your system. Save it, name it, share it!

You can always reset to the default table, so mod to your heart content.

New feature: Party Sheet and Vehicles (YouTube video below):

GMs can check main data of the party in a easy way, including a mini dashboard that you can position anywhere (compact mode). And beyond that this sheet can be used for a party vehicle!

From simple rides to complex airships, it allows the creation of multiple parts where you can place crew members and request rolls. Each part has its own individual HP, Armor, and Damage. All vehicles also have a Cargo section where you can place any number of Container items. With this, you can have huge transporters with high capacity and smaller stashes for your smugglers, all in the same vehicle. The parts system gives you freedom to choose the level of complexity you want at your table.

New feature: Level Up menu

New Character Sheets Styles: Light and Dark Themes

It does not affect Foundry appearance, only in game dialogs and theme.

Combat Encounters

Dedicated combat encounters with per factions separation: Heroes, NPCs, Neutrals and Secrets (set these in Token >> Appearance >> Token Disposition), with settings to add custom initiative for going in order or through "popcorn initiative" where the table decides the order at will.

Clocks & Countdown Dice

Track tension and time directly on the canvas without needing external modules.

• Progress Clocks: Create clocks with 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 segments. Position them anywhere to track long-term goals or impending doom.
• Countdown Dice: Create the countdice and never forget to roll when the time comes!

Downtime Manager

• Crafting & Studying: Track progress on crafting projects or gain "Studied Dice" for future rolls.

Awesome Freeform Spellcasting

Magic in Vagabond is flexible and unique. The system includes a dynamic Mana Calculator:

• Fast and Magical: Adjust Damage Dice, Delivery methods (Cone, Line, Aura, etc.), and Range extensions on the fly.
• Auto-Calculation: The sheet automatically calculates the total Mana cost based on your modifications, ensuring you never miscalculate the price of power.
• Templates: target anything and click in the delivery range in the shat card to automatically draw a measure template in the canvas.
