Here's a couple paid things you can do.
- Your purchases of Official Necrotic Gnome Foundry VTT premium content support VTT Red's weekly open source maintainence activities on the Old-School Essentials codebase. This includes releasing bug fixes, new open source features, and labor-intensive code reviews, an often overlooked job in open source. Follow the Necrotic Gnome blog or subscribe to their newsletter for more news about upcoming Foundry VTT releases.
- If you'd like to support some of the contributors of this game system, we keep a list of tipping/patronage links in the THANKS.md file.
- Third-party releases may support one or more of our open source contributors. Find out more on our website.
Troubleshooting and Requesting User Support
It's always appreciated when users submit an issue for all kinds of user questions, comments, and concerns. For those who prefer support via public chat, we recommend asking in:
- The #dnd-other channel in the official Foundry VTT Discord server
- The #ose-virtual-tabletop channel in the official Necrotic Gnome Discord server
- There is a Discord server for United Fantasy Toolkit, the code that powers OSE. You can find it on this repo's New Issue page. Please do not ask about premium content in this Discord server, as most of our contributor community cannot help you. Please use the support channels listed for those products instead.
- There are unofficial Foundry VTT user communities for many other languages if you'd prefer to discuss Foundry VTT in another language. Keep in mind that it's unlikely you'll find answers to your questions about a less popular game system like Old-School Essentials, but they are good for asking questions about Foundry VTT in general.
- The /r/FoundryVTT community on Reddit may also have answers to your Foundry VTT questions, but it is another general Foundry VTT user community that may not have many users with specific knowledge about OSE. Be sure to write
[OSE]in your post subject and selectFVTT Questionfrom the "Flair" menu.
We do not offer user support for the free game system via email. Sorry for the inconvenience.
