	~~What is Foundry~~ VTT and Forge?		== The Virtual Tabletop (VTT) ==
	Foundry VTT is the virtual tabletop where we play.		It will be our main avenue for playing the game. Luckily there are systems in place to help manage a lot of the maps, tokens, character sheets, rules interactions, and so forth. In order to make it all work together for us to play, I have set up some web-based VTTs for us.

			== The Foundry ==
			Foundry VTT is the virtual tabletop where we play. The Foundry VTT will be able to pull from the Forge's storage, so things won't get broken if I spill ice cream on my computer.

			Foundry has excellent integration with the Pathfinder system and will help keep track of applying effects and pulling up rule snippets. AND! AND! Foundry lets me do cool stuff I couldn't do in person - there's line-of-sight, lighting effects, background music, sound effect, weather effects, lots of possibilities for cool immersion-y stuff.<blockquote>Think of it as the dining room table we are all hunched over as acne-having teens, drinking mountain dew, and snickering over why the katana is the superior blade.</blockquote>

			== Connecting the two ==
			Once you have a Forge account, I can pass you an invitation link to the Foundry games I have set up. From there you'll be able to access the Foundry games from their URL, select your name, and away you go.<blockquote>Think of the invitation link as you ringing the doorbell and me showing you inside to the dining room where we'll play the game.</blockquote>

What is Foundry VTT and Forge?
Foundry VTT is the virtual tabletop where we play.
Think of it as the dining room table we are all hunched over as acne-having teens, drinking mountain dew, and snickering over why the katana is the superior blade.
The Forge is where the VTT is hosted.
Think of it as the dining room itself that we have taken over with all our painted minis, rulebooks, and empty pizza boxes.
In order to make all the peices work out, each person will need to create an account on The Forge that I can connect to. You’ll need to log into the Forge (be greeted at the front door), then I can invite you to the Foundry table (be ushered down the hallway to where the other cool people are).
