Thanks for collecting this info!
I recently purchased Shadowdark PDF and Print. I will likely pick up the FGU conversion once I feel ready to run.

I'm not sure if anyone else wants/needs custom decals anymore, but here's something I'm pretty happy with.

I'd have uploaded a smaller webp file, but I guess that's an invalid file type on the forums.

Want to say thank you to all the folks who helped get SD on Fantasy Grounds. We have been playing it for a few one shots and it has been great.

Only question is I can't find info on the Torch management tool, if there is a explainer somewhere please link.

This video was made before I moved the button to the sidebar. Other than that works the same. it is linked to the CT so anytime you advance rounds it will update the timer. You can also of course manually check times

I thought I noticed that lights were running our in less than hour of real time. I don't think it is supposed to do that RAW. Can you provide an option to make it so the timer does not run down based on combat rounds? I can see where some GMs may want in-game time to effect the timer.

It runs on realtime. The combat tracker is a trigger to check real world time. If your not using the ct then as the gm you can check torch times with a button click. You cant have an actual clock in FG and you have to have something to trigger checking time on your pc
