Fantasy Grounds to Discord (Grognard Bot)
Hey Everyone,
As we are all "sheltering in place" I found I needed something to do with my time, I spent a few days throwing this together. I'm just gauging interest for now, if this is something GM's want for their groups I'll polish it up a bit and post it here...
This came about because my players feel I roll "too well" and I wanted to show them the actual die roll statistics per session... We play via Discord so it made sense to have the results post to discord.
What I have is a Discord bot that "watches" your fantasy grounds campaign and then gives your player's live feedback during the session, and at the end of the session he reports on all the die rolls and gives out some gold stars...
Currently I've only tested it with Pathfinder 2E, but it should work with any CoreRPG ruleset.
This does require not only an FG Extension, but also a companion app that communicates with the Bot server.
UPDATE: July 21st 2020: I have uploaded the source AS IS to GitHub https://github.com/Cupcakus/FGBot. If you would like to help collaborate on this project, please DM me and I'll add you to my Discord where we can discuss.Last edited by Cupcakus; July 21st, 2020 at 19:38.

You know, their is the Chatlog.html that can be used for a similar purpose. I was always wanting Doug to get around to formalizing his Campaign Statistics. Maybe it would be easier to do something like being able to load a chatlog.html in a discord bot and have it generate such reports? Wouldn't require an extension and could be use retro-actively

That was my original plan, unfortunately the chat log doesn't have the specific die rolls, only the totals, so it's not useful for a running dice tally.
I also needed hooks for "killed" creatures... because of regen you can't just wait for the chat log to show "dying" or "destroyed", they might spring back to life. Instead it waits for me (The GM) to remove the dead creature from the combat tracker before awarding the kill to a player.
