World broken after a Foundry, system or module update? Get back in with Safe Configuration, find the culprit module, check compatibility, or roll back.
Foundry VTT v14's new features: core Levels, palette tool, region templates, placeables panel, detachable windows, grid tool, scene transitions and more.
