Morning, everyone. I wanted to let everyone know about my experience with Fantasy Grounds and Syrinscape. I’ve been using Syrinscape with Fantasy Grounds for some time, but recently the integration (with a community built extension by Dulux-Oz) was substantailly enhanced with the new Fantasy Grounds upgrade.
Yesterday was my final session as a DM with my players for a module called Unknown Whom (very cool module btw). I created a bunch of Syrinscape sounds using Dulux-Oz’s extension to play whenever players took certain actions (mainly spells). So, when a wizard casts acid splash, the sound of an acid splash was automatically triggered based on the text in FG chat. I had many sounds set up to trigger.
I also had “miniboards” set up that I shared with players so they could trigger their own sounds. For example, I didn’t have many chatsound triggers for the fighter, but he could play his own sword swing, crit sounds, etc with the click of a button.
Finally, for some of the encounters, I set up some one-shot sounds that I could trigger. I had some mummy and zombie sound one-shots I triggered during those battles which was really cool.
The overall immersion was awesome and the players loved it! I streamed it on twitch and put it up on youtube as well so others could take a look at it if they want. Just look for Gwydione on twitch and/or youtube.
Just wanted to tell Ben thanks soooo much for all the work. It is so much fun running adventures and listening to players reactions when they start hearing sounds triggering based on their actions.
Thanks also to Dulux-Oz for all the tremendous work on his extensions for FG. It is phenomenal that the two programs work so well together now!
