May Grab Bag | Borough Requests, VTT Updates, Freebies!
🕑 Added 2024-05-25 16:30:39 +0000 UTCHi all! We have a bunch of updates for you all today, plus a few freebies. Instead of dropping all this piecemeal, we figured we'd put it all in one place!
Borough Request Poll
We'll be launching a borough request poll next week to determine which setting we'll create after the one we're presently designing (which we will unveil soon!). We need your help to populate the poll with possible options. Please give us suggestions for potential borough themes either in the comments here or in the #inspo-and-requests channel of the Discord! Make sure that your suggestions are at least succinct enough to fit into one of our polls (that is: no sprawling descriptions of some hyper-specific idea from your campaign world). A couple words will suffice!
Alchemy Module Access
Patrons at the Chief Courier tier can now gain free access to any of our content that is available on the Alchemy virtual tabletop platform! Please head to the Chief Courier Master Post to grab links for all of the existing modules. Right now, you can grab Ancora Bay, Vyndurvoht, Crabwell, Thestwick, and Muc-Mhara, but we're also working on getting more settings available soon.
Please let us know how this feature works. It's something we've wanted to offer for a while, but we really need to make sure that's it all functions smoothly. Notify us regarding any issues you encounter!
Foundry Updates
The Foundry modules for Thestwick and Crabwell have been updated. Now, they both should be fully compatible with the Levels module, and the Crabwell module has the winter and destruction map variants and music integrated. Please head to the Chief Courier Master Post to grab the relevant links (note that the URLs have been updated).
Secondly, we've decided to temporarily remove "Moulinette access" from the list of guaranteed benefits for Chief Courier tier patrons. We would like to get all of our modules integrated with Moulinette, but—long story short—that's not currently possible without creating brand new versions of all of our modules. We hope to do that, but it is not currently something we can devote all of our attention to. If this is a dealbreaker for any of you, please feel free to contact us. We're so sorry for this ongoing issue!
Soncraft Borough Bound Beta
Our buddy Sean runs the fabulous Discord-based RPG music service Soncraft. With Soncraft, tabletop gamers can get access to all of the music they need for their games directly in Discord, and all of the copyright mumbo jumbo is taken care of, plus the musicians actually receive royalties for the streams.
Sean is currently working on releasing a version of his app that works with local files, and he is looking for Borough Bound users to test this out. If you 1. have a bunch of Borough Bound mp3s downloaded, 2. use Discord for your tabletop gaming, and 3. have a game or two scheduled over the next month, please send us an email at contact@boroughbound.com. We'll get you into this beta!
Skellies
RPG guru Griff AKA The Griffon's Saddlebag has just released the playtest for his rules-light skeleton-centric tabletop game Skellies! We've attached the playtest here. This one is extremely fun and simple to learn, and Griff is looking for some feedback! We would love it if you gave the game a look, and we would be extra thrilled if you could send Griff feedback via the link in the PDF.
New Borough Bound Albums
For those of you who prefer to listen to our music via streaming services, we've released three new albums in the past couple months! Black Magic, Immaculate Vibes, and Elseridge Academy are now available wherever you listen to music. Between Borough Bound and Music d20, our composer Will has now released over 17 hours of RPG music available on streaming services.

Awesome, thank you! 😊
Borough Bound
Yes, that is something we plan to do.

Regarding moulinette support; I understand not wanting to go back and update existing modules, but is it possible to have new content available on moulinette or at least definitive edition maps? Does it require something weird against your existing modules? I almost only use it for maps and sometimes tiles, but I do use it a lot if that's any consideration for future releases.
Borough Bound
Our goal is to get this sorted quickly, but we just don't have the manpower to redo every Foundry module we've made for the past 2 years for Moulinette-specific releases. We will do that when we can, but we feel it would be disingenuous to promise Moulinette support when the reality is that that is not technically something we are currently offering for all of our content.

I'm at Chief Courier tier and I'm very much not happy about pulling away from Moulinette. This is how I tie together my Patreon and Foundry, and it is the easiest way to prep as a DM. Having the module available for download is 90% of the work! Why not do the extra 10% and have it in Moulinette??

Poll Suggestion: Small Islands

Steampunk / machine setting? Similar to Tom Cartos City of Bharzul

Our mp3s are available to patrons at the General Messenger tier and up! You can grab tracks via the individual release zips.

Is there anywhere to download the music for use in roll20, or do we need to buy those from bandcamp separately?
