Roliando guides

Documentation for Roliando's tools: 33 guides on the system builder, the table and tactical map, the content library and the community.

My game isn't here: the universal sheet — A sheet that rolls in a minute for any game — from your PDF, from scratch or both — and grows from the sheet itself: pages, fields, rolls that read the sheet, free-form design and your PDF manual.
System Builder: first steps — What a system is, the three ways of working (wizard, expert and code), the shortest path to something playable, and a map of every tab.
Fields and formulas — The nine field types and their options, the whole formula engine (functions, text comparison) and how effects work.
Sheet layout — Tabs, grid and the full widget catalog. How things reflow on mobile, conditional visibility, sub-tabs and per-class layouts.
Rolls — The system die, resolution modes, criticals and fumbles (and why they flip), and each field's roll settings.
Combat — Vitals, fixed or opposed defense, absorption, actions with range and damage, type effectiveness, conditions and states.
Party sheets — Things that belong to the whole party (the ship, the boat, the lair): shared or one per character, who edits them, cross-references in formulas, and how to build them from the UI or in code.
Character creation and progression — The wizard steps and their four ways of generating values, grants, levels, perks with uses and sub-options, and skill trees.
Items, bestiary, economy and rules — The item catalog, creatures ready for the map, coins and inventory, optional rules per table and the system manual.
Code mode (Roll20 style) — Build your system by writing HTML, CSS and sheet workers like in Roll20: transpiler, isolated sandbox, roll buttons and round-tripping back to code.
Running a campaign — The campaign from the inside: its tabs (World, Rules, Map, Journal, Combat, Players, Table, Music, Chat, Settings), inviting and managing players, the GM Screen, the generators and session music.
GM Screen — Run the game from one screen: tabs, Ctrl K search with your system's compendium, the Notebook, drag to link, the Journal editor ([[links]], @mentions, callouts, code), the GM board and showing to the whole campaign.
Map editor — Dungeondraft-grade map authoring inside the VTT: the rail and the Draw, Build and Objects groups, the map Library, stamps and scatter, paths, roofs, layers, the 250 MB quota and Dungeondraft import.
Map Builder — Inkarnate-style world maps: landmass with automatic coasts, biome painting clipped to land, assets and scatter, textured rivers, ambience and lights, export and use in play or publish to the Workshop.
Combat at the table — The action bar (the D&D hotbar and the one for other systems), turn-based initiative, dropping and driving tokens, HP and conditions — the whole turn on the map.
Walls, vision and cover — Walls, doors and cover; dynamic vision and light; the difference between invisible (a barrier you can't see) and hidden (a secret that doesn't block); portals and travel zones; half and three-quarters cover.
Floors: multi-level maps — Build the whole building on one map: floors and each floor's plan, seeing the floor below through gaps, stairs, roofs with their occlusion modes, walls with height, and how combat works across floors.
3D dice — The dice tray, 3D rolls and their result, skins (themes and materials), sound, critical effects, and the Skin Studio to paint your own.
Table apps — Write a small page — a puzzle, a console, a vote — and present it to your players: the four templates, how to talk to the table, why the answer can't live in the code, resources, and what doesn't exist inside the box.
Puzzle Builder — Build a puzzle without writing code: rune locks, grids and lights-out, plates with a flashlight, tiles and slots, and per-player splits — everyone sees something different and has to talk.
Event zones — Make the map act on its own: paint a zone and tell it what happens when someone steps on it — traps, doors that open, damage per turn, puzzles that must be solved to pass, and what gets imported from Foundry regions.
Loot and chests — Campaign containers: fill them from the catalog, decide whether players take it or you hand it out, let them store things, open them by touching a chest on the map and make something happen when they do.
The world Map — Maps, places and maps inside maps: the same map in Map and in World, zooming from the Coast into Phandalin and the crypt, zones, scale and travel, and taking any map to combat.
Shops — Shops where characters buy and sell with their sheet: stock that runs out, the shopkeeper’s money, discounts and per-character haggling, and entering a shop from its map pin.
Broadcast for OBS — Your game live: four one-tap modes, one OBS link per element (dice, party, turns, chat…) with no sign-in, a layout editor, cameras, pauses with countdown, and nothing that only the GM sees.
Play-by-post — Discord-style text play: channels, off-role chat, speaking as your character, dice and notifications, and the GM's management tools (economy, NPCs, ambience).
My Library: the explorer — Your personal storage as a file explorer: the four areas, the game sections, folders, breadcrumbs, view and sorting, sharing, and how content gets in.
Modules and adventures — Compendium modules (how they merge into the game) and full adventures: the chapter viewer, the gallery, the Rooms view and how to bring one to the table.
Importing content — Bring Foundry worlds and scenes, JSON adventures, Dungeondraft packs and your roll tables — all into My Library, yours and organized.
Foundry VTT in Roliando — Bring your Foundry world (scenes with walls, lights and regions, characters and journals) and install its systems and modules to play them at the table with no server; versions v9 to v14.
Community — The Workshop (getting and publishing content), Find a Game, community chat and reminders, achievements, and your account and plans.
Providencia: rulebook — Roliando's own system: the d100 roll (roll under), attributes and shaping disciplines, difficulty, point-buy creation and blessings, multi-mastery, perks, experience and levels.
D&D 5e and 2024 on Roliando: what is automated — Guided creation with each edition's rules, a sheet that does the maths and combat rule by rule —saves, damage with resistances, concentration, reactions, creatures—, and what it does not do yet.
