Mythic Bastionland for Foundry VTT

An unofficial Foundry VTT system for Mythic Bastionland, Chris McDowall's game of Knights, Myths and the Realms they wander, made with his permission. It takes the bookkeeping off the table: Knights chosen from the book and rolled from their sheets, Attacks and Gambits on chat cards, a Realm map you roll or draw, the Company's travels with what the players were told, Myths and Omens, the Phases, Seasons and Ages, Domains and their Courts, and a Timeline of the whole campaign.

No book text or art ships with the system. Point it at your own PDF of the book and it fills itself in: see Bringing In Your Rulebook.

This wiki covers what the system does and how to use it, including a lot that's easy to miss. If you only read one page, read Hidden Tricks.

Ten things most people miss

1. Press B to open the rulebook inside Foundry, and click any page number such as "(p16)" to jump there.
2. Hover a bold rule word on a card or sheet, such as Exposed or VIG, to see what it means.
3. Drag an NPC onto your Knight's sheet to make it your steed, or another Knight to name them your successor.
4. Hover a hex chip on a chat card to ring that hex on the map; click it to take your own view there.
5. Double-click open ground on the Realm to open that hex in Places. Double-click the Company's Token for the hex it stands in.
6. Right-click the footprints button beside the sidebar to choose how visited hexes are marked.
7. Click the time bar at the top of the screen (Referee) for Next Phase, Weeks Pass, Months Pass, A Year Passes and End the Session.
8. Press C (Referee) to open the Referee Toolkit, and 6 for the Spark Tables.
9. Shift-click Apply Damage on an Attack card to open the Take Damage window instead of taking the card's Damage as it stands.
10. Your Settings tab (last on your own Knight's rail) has colour schemes, text size, typeface and no-italics, for your screen only.
