Introducing the DeepDark Demiplane
The DeepDark Demiplane might sound like a lonesome pocket dimension devoid of light or hope, but for fans of DeepDark Designs and anyone using our modules, it's actually a rather nice and useful addition to your Foundry VTT module library. This free module is required for some of our other modules to be activated and serves several important functions, these include:
- Injecting universal formatting and presentation improvements to content provided by DeepDark Designs. Making these changes through the demiplane removes the need to include them in each individual module of ours.
- Providing universal/shared art assets once, rather than again and again in each module that utilises them. This allows us to avoid including redundant duplicate data which should help things run faster, smoother, and incur less wasted storage space on your server.
- Potential future benefits. For example, the demiplane might eventually provide Journal Entries, Actors, or other materials that are also universal across multiple modules; provide a single Initializer interface through which other modules of ours can be initialized, or allow us to share news and updates seamlessly within the game.
It should be noted that the style adjustments provided by the demiplane only affect journal entries included in our modules by default and can be disabled at your discretion. Handily, if you activate a module of ours that requires the demiplane, you will be notified with a prompt to install it when first installing that module and again when attempting to activate it. This prompt will even help you to install the demiplane directly, so you shouldn't need to do anything but click to do so when asked.
Basically, the demiplane is free, quick and easy to install, and actually useful. What's not to love?
Activating the DeepDark Demiplane
Making use of the DeepDark Demiplane is easy and can be done via either of the following approaches:
- Manual Installation. Simply find the demiplane via the Module Browser in the Foundry VTT application and install it. Then, activate it in any DND5e / 5th Edition Game World you wish to by using the Manage Modules tool under Game Settings in the options.
- Automated Installation. Simply install or activate any free or premium module by DeepDark Designs that requires the demiplane and you'll receive a prompt to get it which will handle pretty much everything for you.
Seeing the Demiplane in Action
If you want to check out the DeepDark Demiplane, you'll can see it used in our premium content module, Outclassed: Slayer.
