Tidy 5e Sheets

What are Tidy 5e Sheets?

Alternate D&D 5e sheet layouts for Foundry Virtual Tabletop, focused on a clean UI, usability, flexibility, and extensibility.

Completely rewritten from the ground up, based on the original Tidy5e Sheet module by sdenec and 4535992, and the excellent foundation laid by the 5e system module.

Installation

We recommend installing this module through Foundry, the Forge Bazaar, or a similar interface for official Foundry packages.

Or, you can still install Tidy manually via the module.json URL:

1. Inside the initial Foundry Configuration and Setup screen, open the Add-on Modules tab.
2. Press the Install Module button.
3. In the Manifest URL field, paste in a manifest URL. The "Latest Stable" URL is: https://github.com/kgar/foundry-vtt-tidy-5e-sheets/releases/latest/download/module.json
   • See the foundry package page for Last Versions for different dnd5e system versions.
4. Press Install and wait for installation to complete.

Quick start

1. Enable the module in your game in the Game Settings sidebar tab, pressing the Manage Modules button and activating Tidy 5e Sheets. This activates the module, but you still need to switch sheets to Tidy verions.
2. Change individual sheets to Tidy using the three-dot Toggle Controls menu at the top of each sheet and choosing Configure sheet.
3. Globally change all sheets from the Game Settings sidebar tab, choosing Configure Settings. Here you can change Core → Configure Default Sheets, or Tidy 5e Sheets → Set Tidy as Default Sheet.

 

Tidy 5e Sheets UI

⚙️ The new Tidy 5e Sheets overhaul, codenamed Quadrone, is complete. ⚙️ To make these sheets your own, change to the new Tidy 5e Sheet options in the Sheet Configuration pages.

Reporting Issues and Requesting Features

If you are experiencing a bug or have an idea for a new feature, submit a github issue or begin a discussion in the community discord.

API-Extensible Sheets

The Tidy 5e Sheets API is here to allow for extending the sheets in a variety of supported ways. Because this module uses alternate web technology from the normal Foundry sheets, integrating by API is essential for other modules and for those making world scripts.

Need API Functions for Something? Let's Talk

If you need API support for a feature or customization that you have in mind, submit a github issue or begin a discussion in the community discord.

Module Compatibility

If a module is not compatible with Tidy 5e Sheets, submit a github issue, and the author will work with other module authors to establish compatibility.

Compatibility Modules

Some modules call for a supplemental "Compatibility Module" to bridge the gap between Tidy and the module in question. Usually, these are premium modules where innate compatibility cannot be established. If you are using a module from this table, we recommend installing the linked "Compatibility Module" to ensure you get the best experience with Tidy 5e Sheets for that particular module.

Tidy 5e Sheets Manifesto

• Tidy 5e Sheets are meant to be nice sheets that make it easy to do D&D in style.
• Tidy 5e Sheets are intended to remain compatible with the current version of the D&D 5e system, including mirroring its Foundry compatibility settings. When there's a system update that has breaking changes, Tidy 5e Sheets will move all current efforts forward to the new D&D 5e version and adjust its minimum system version accordingly.
• This module cannot and should not try to bootstrap all sheet-augmenting modules within its own source code. Modules come and go.
• This module should not become a Kitchen Sink module. Requests that go out of scope cannot be fulfilled.
• This is a community effort. The Maintainer(s) strive to keep an open dialogue with interested users / devs while continuing maintenance and adding features.
