Tired of forgetting things when the players take a Long Rest? Use this extension for the 5E ruleset to get automatic reminders.

Create a Story entry named LRR. This Story entry will be displayed to the GM when a Long Rest is taken. You can jot down reminders for when PCs take a Long Rest and be shown them automatically when you trigger a Rest. Great for things like consume rations, roll for charges on items, make saving throws for curses, track how many days have elapsed on tasks, and more. You can also include chat entries to send to the chat window, like any normal story entry.

Use /LRRshortrest and /LRRlongrest commands to pin the Rest functions to the hotkey bar. Type the commands into the chat, and then drag it to the hotkey bar for the quick access.

Find this on the Forge at https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/427/view

V0.1 Initial release to Forge. Updated for most recent ruleset updates.

This project is based on the work of Three of Swords for Long Rest Reminder, who has disclaimed rights to his code.

Hello there
It looks like this extension broke with the new update, I think either because the Long Rest is now Overnight Rest.
Aaand, this is very likely not being maintained any more, since it was last updated ages ago with minimal comment from anyone...
I guess tomorrow I can see if I can fix it myself. And/or get help from other developers to fix it, I've only ever added a custom damage type to FG.

Ah, thank you!
It looks like it's now registering the long rests, but it's not finding the LRR story entry, even though this campaign has an entry called LRR that worked before.

Fixed that. It was only looking for advanced story entries. Now it will check both. It will pull up simple entries first.

Yep, it works perfectly now, thanks!
This is one of those tiny extensions that has made my life so much easier, I've really appreciated it.
