🕑 Added 2025-10-29 18:23:20 +0000 UTCFA Nexus is the new all-in-one content hub for Forgotten Adventures inside Foundry VTT - building on everything from our previous module FA‑Token‑Browser, but taking it further in scope, performance and flexibility.

catalog of Forgotten Adventures content—no manual setup required.

Responsive placement: Click-to-place with sticky mode, multi-select randomization, rotation/scale controls, grid snapping and more tuned for both tokens and assets.

Will the Nexus Module be getting an option to restrict the players from using it?
John Gallego
So far this has been an amazing module. I use it to edit and use all my tiles now :) One small request: Could we have a setting that would hide the nexus button from players?

Please keep Dungeon Draft support. Nexus and Dungeon Draft together make for such amazing map options though layer and tiles. The additio nof Nexus alongside Dungeon Draft support is the greatest thing ever. I used to have to serach endlessly to find the tiles and assets to add for key effects and they never had shadows, now the they easy to find and have shadows. You can paint too. This is awesome. Love it. A big thank you to the FA team!!!

Additional Side-Note: My server is shared between a handful of GMs (Following Foundry EULA), and I'd like to not have to use a client-side cookie for Patreon OAuth/client side caching. While I understand the existence of the client side stuff for things like The Forge, I would greatly appreciate an opt-in option to get all that stuff to the server side along with the ability to download the assets to the server like JB2A. Our current GM has not-so-great internet and having to map 158K assets could cause some hiccups. Basically, for my use case, getting as much as possible to be local to my server machine would be a HUGE improvement in usability. Incredible module either way!

O.O this is incredible! Awesome work. I'm a long time subscriber and this is a huge step forward in making an easier workflow for mapmaking. I will definitely give this a try.

Adding in a permissions setting to prevent players from adding in assets would be appreciated. Aside from that, I'm so excited to see what comes to this!
