Somno's Safety Tools

A standalone, system-agnostic Foundry VTT v14 module for table safety tools.

Version

• Module Version: 0.5.0
• Minimum Foundry Version: 14
• Verified Foundry Version: 14

What it does

• Installs four world macros into a Somno's Safety Tools macro folder with preassigned ownership.
• Creates a world journal named Somno's Safety Tools: How to Use.
• Opens that journal on startup for GMs and players by default.
• Adds a per-user module setting named Show Startup Journal so the GM and each player can disable the startup journal for themselves.

Macros

Player macros:

• Safety Card: ALL STOP
• Safety Card: HAZARD PLAY
• Safety Card: INVOLVE ME

GM macro:

• Safety Card: Resume Play [GM]

Behavior

When a player activates one of the three player macros:

1. The GM receives a centered alert that says which player called which card.
2. Every non-GM player receives the selected card image in a centered popup.
3. The game is paused by the GM client.

When the GM activates Safety Card: Resume Play [GM]:

1. Everyone receives the Resume Play card popup.
2. The Resume Play card is posted to chat.
3. The game is unpaused.

Startup Journal

The module creates a journal named Somno's Safety Tools: How to Use that explains:

• What each safety card does.
• How players drag macros to their hotbars.
• What happens when a safety card is clicked.
• How the GM resumes play.
• How each user can disable the journal popup in module settings.

To disable the startup journal:

1. Open Configure Settings.
2. Go to Module Settings.
3. Find Somno's Safety Tools.
4. Disable Show Startup Journal.

This is a client-side setting, so it only affects the user who changes it.

Install

1. Open Foundry VTT Application and Sign In as admin.
2. Click Add-on Modules
3. Click Install Module

Notes

• The player macros ask the GM client to pause the game because normal players usually cannot pause worlds directly.
