MD 230 Cyber Sisyphus w/ Andrew Clayton (Foundry Virtual Tabletop)

Mad Dungeon

This week’s guest is Andrew Clayton and we talk about his Foundry Virtual Tabletop and how it started with his own curiosity and playing online with his friends. We discuss Foundry’s place in the TTRPG community, its low barrier to entry for basic functions and how it’s great for technical folks who love to tinker. Andrew also answers several questions from friend of the show Jeremy Deram of People Them With Monsters.

This room is covered in a thick fog. You can’t see more than a foot in front of you. The floor goes uphill and has the pattern of a circuit-board maze of perpendicular lines that the Cyber Sisyphus, a boulder-size orb that glows neon blue, is to be navigated to a concave nest at the top. Each dead end has a floating proximity mine that explodes when the orb gets too close, knocking you back to the starting position. Hiding in the fog is Jack the Hacker, giving instructions on how the room works and mocking your failures.
There are two levers on opposite walls. One moves the orb north/south, and the other east/west. There are two pairs of cyber goggles. One that allows you to see the north/south walls and the other the east/west walls. When the orb moves, it leaves a glowing force field behind it so you can’t backtrack or cross where you’re already gone.
Reward: A combustiboard. This floating hoverboard can jump 20 feet, leaving an explosion that deals blast damage.
