Party Resources is a module that allows you to manage party-wide, numeric values that persist between sessions.

• Add/Edit/Delete custom resources, with optional icon images
• Increment/decrement resource values
  • Hold CTRL (Windows) or CMD (MacOS) when clicking to jump by +/- 10
  • Hold SHIFT when clicking to jump by +/- 100
• Live updates for players when values change
• Sports a videogame-esque status bar to easily keep track of resources
• Sort your resources using drag/drop in the dashboard
• Track DM resources by hiding certain resources for players
• Track system-specific currency or items (only dnd5e for now)
• Optionally notify players through chat when a resource value changes
• Optionally limit resources to a given maximum
• Optionally hand over resource management to players
• Optionally use icon images as resource labels
• Change resource values in script macros through a public-facing API

• Tracking the quantity of ingame resources like building materials, ingredients, or army sizes
• Tracking custom quantified "meta" resources like sanity, desperation, or fame levels
• Tracking DM-specific mnemonics like poison counters, population totals, or player deaths 😈

1. Install Party Resources in FoundryVTT using the manifest URL:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/davelens/fvtt-party-resources/master/module.json

2. Enable the Party Resources module in the active game world.

If your desired translation is missing, you can help out through the Weblate page for Party Resources! In return you will receive my eternal gratitude, and quite possibly various riches in an eventual afterlife.

You need to enable it in the module's settings.

By default, any permission level can access it through the button at the top of the Actor directory. However, a DM has the option to hide this button.

No, the intent for this module was to have global numeric values everyone could keep an eye on. However, ardittristan/5eSheet-resourcesPlus would probably serve your players better by having custom resources assigned to their character sheet.

Because resources are an amalgam of settings scoped on world, to make them persist in the world for all players. Foundry requires explicit permission to allow players to adjust the values linked to these settings with a scope of world. Not doing so will result in error popups stating a player is not allowed to edit settings.

window.pr.status_bar.render()

window.pr.dashboard.redraw(true)

As an example, say you wanted to change a resource called Fate Counters that you gave a resource ID of fate when you created it.

To retrieve the value of the fate resource:

window.pr.api.get('fate')

To set the value of the fate resource to 5:

window.pr.api.set('fate', 5)

To increment the value of the fate resource by 2:

window.pr.api.increment('fate', 2)

To decrement the value of the fate resource by 1:

window.pr.api.decrement('fate', 1)

To set the value of the fate resource to 5, and notify players with a chat message. Note that this will only work if "Notify players of value changes" is checked in the resource settings:

window.pr.api.set('fate', 5, { notify: true })

The resource dashboard will then process the change in real time.

No, I don't have a Patreon going and don't get paid to write or maintain modules. I'm a software engineer by trade, and I've been writing web apps for 15 years. My main stack is both Ruby and Elixir, and I'm somewhat proficient in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Most of my work is backend-related so I'm not a frontend developer, and I'm sure it shows in the source code for those among you who are. I get by, though.

Sure: Pretzl#0001 - I'm in the official FoundryVTT Discord.
