FoundryVTT - Forien's Quest Log

As of the latest FQL release 0.8.0 this repository is no longer the active source of the Foundry FQL package. For the time being this repository will remain available to serve previous versions of 0.7.x for the next couple of years.

I (TyphonJS / Michael) took over maintaining and fully building out the FQL you know and love from Foundry versions 0.8 to v12 in the 0.7.x release series culminating in the 0.8.0 release that was passed back to Forien. I took FQL from minimum viable product (MVP) to a rock solid questing solution. Please direct all future issues and questions to the main active repository for FQL. You may also opt to get in contact with Forien through:

The major 0.8.0 update to FQL:

• Actors can now be set as rewards allowing Item Piles and various game system loot functionality to be utilized in rewards distribution for currency and items.
• Custom rewards may use game system text enrichment where available to distribute XP. For example with the dnd5e system use [[/award 400xp]].
• Player Notes - players can now leave notes on quests in a separate section similar to GM Notes.
• Editors switched to ProseMirror.

Usage

A button to access the Quest Log is situated on the bottom of Journal Directory or in the left hand scene controls icon toolbar under notes / journal entries where two new icons (scroll and list) opens the Quest Log and Quest Tracker. There also are two macro compendiums available for FQL that provide ready to go macros to drop onto your hotbar that allow convenient access to FQL for players and several GM related options.

There is a series of useful in-depth video tutorials on YouTube that cover the 0.7 - 0.8 releases.

FQL is quite user-friendly with an intuitive UI, however you might want to check out the Wiki for more detailed usage including macros and Quest API details for external developers integrations.

About

FQL is being updated for stability across core Foundry updates. This stability and long term maintenance of such is the main feature of FQL presently. You can rest assured that the quest log experience you know and love will continue to be available now and into the future.

Moving forward FQL is transitioning back to ownership and maintenance by Forien who is active again with Foundry 3rd party development.

Translations

FQL uses Weblate to coordinate language translation from community translators. Through this interface you are able to provide language corrections and translations. I am more than willing to support even more language translations for FQL, so if your language isn't represented yet please visit the FQL Weblate Portal and get in contact.

Future plans (current ideas)

Rock solid stability through future releases of Foundry VTT and even more language / internationalization support. At this time a few quality of life features may be added in any given release as well.

If you think you have found a bug or usability issue with FQL itself please file an issue in the FQL Issue Tracker.
