Sometimes imagination plays a primary role. Last night our #starwars #ttrpg crew blasted open the airlock of a mining ship that was landed on an asteroid while being attacked by heavy mining droids. Sure, it might be purple boxes on a grey backdrop, but we were all well aware of the stakes!

The crew moves into the airlock of a mining ship docked on a mineral rich asteroid.

October is off to a real strong start at Sqyre ⚔️. Session management continues to add features in supporting specificity for GMs and players for their #ttrpg sessions, and several bugs have been addressed.

All in service of the perfect adventure with #FoundryVTT

October 7th, 2025
- New Session Management Capabilities!

- Added ability for GM to adjust the per-seat cost for a player in a paid game
- Players can now see the per-session cost for paid games
- Added invite link to Manage Game menu in paid private games
- Added invite link CTA in Manage Players modal
- Changing a game from paid to free wasn't working (change didn't save)

October 5th, 2025
- New Sqyre users can now join running games (if GM is in the game) without restart
- Added support for Stable Build - Foundry v13.350
- Added support for Prototype Testing Build - Foundry v14.349
- Changing Sqyre username was changing the player name for every game that user was in
- Invited users were being asked to provide CC on public, FREE game
- Wasn't properly handling wildcards for the User Data source
- Issue where some players were charged twice for the single seat cost of paid game

"How're those maggots, Michael?"

@lauguz.bsky.social - This sounds like a fun premise!

And in case you missed it, we added a username customization prompt when making a new account: bsky.app/profile/sqyr...

Sqyre @sqyre.app · 14d

We do like the fun, auto-created names for new Sqyre users. But making your own is pretty great too! While it has always been an option in-app, we thought giving a little prompt at sign-up might spark some creativity as you get ready for your next #ttrpg adventure.

@lauguz.bsky.social needed a way to give their players a high-level overview of who & what is on a planet in our Star Wars #ttrpg game. Check out how in the latest blog post: www.sqyre.app/blog/planet-...

The Sqyre crew is off on a new adventure! This time we're diving into the #StarWars #ttrpg from West End Games! And whoo boy it didn't take long for us to get into a pickle. One session in and fresh off smuggling tanks of bacta, we're now facing the consequence of having back stabbed a crime boss!

Huge session management update this past weekend! We heard from several GMs on ways to improve managing #ttrpg game sessions with #FoundryVTT and much of this is the result of that feedback. Just another example of how this community helps us all focus on what we want most: the adventure ⚔️.

August 26th, 2025
Manage Sessions
- GMs can now add and remove scheduled game sessions (public/paid only, to start)
- Players (and the GM) will get email reminders in advance of game day
- Next scheduled session displays on the game detail page
- Players can skip the upcoming session (more to come for players)
- Games still auto-schedule sessions based on day/time
- GMs can see the booking status of each player (pending, skipped, paid, etc)
Updates & Fixes
- Upgraded asset infrastructure to prepare for a performance boost
- Sqyre Module request handler was refactored for Foundry's heavier actions
- Go to Foundry button logging in as game owner for players with GM role
- Trailing slashes in Foundry User Data upload were returning stale directory listings
- Some uploads to a modules storage folder were failing

Not my most liked #artwork of the year, but still one I'm proud of that I just finished!

Here is the #Zargon from #5e. I love how I got the glow from beneath so the acid glows up!

These files work with @sqyre.app, @dungeonalchemist.com and @forgevtt.bsky.social
