SLA Blueprint News (Foundry VTT module)
Generate SLA Industries BPN mission briefings inside Foundry. Each briefing creates a folder ("package") containing several separate journal entries:
- one character-sheet entry per NPC — a black-and-white "ident" portrait, who they are, their disposition, and why they matter (player handout).
- one card entry per OTEM item — a line-art icon and a description.
plus the two core documents:
… [Player](ownership Observer) — a player document with two pages:- Mission Brief — the official corporate dispatch.
- Field Dossier — a player handout: the cast (NPCs), OTEM (items & equipment), and key locations with a schematic site map.
… [GM](ownership None for players) — the GM document: the twist, the withheld fact, the true threat read, levers, dice state, and the GM-only secrets for every NPC / item / location, linked back to the player document.
The GM picks the operative SCL level and dials the credits and SCL increase rewards on sliders (pay scales up to ~2000c on standard work).
Styled in the SLA house look with bundled local fonts and procedural artwork generated per briefing (flat, non-photorealistic). NPC/monster generation is a separate concern — each briefing exposes an archetype seam for a companion module.
This module is the Foundry wrapper around an engine-agnostic core
(blueprint-news); the generation,
art, and render layers are vendored under module/vendor/ and contain no Foundry
calls.
Use
GM only. Open the generator from:
- the Journal sidebar header button (“Blueprint News”), or
- the Notes scene-controls toolbar, or
- the console / macro:
game.slaBlueprintNews.open()
Pick a colour band / scenario frame (or leave on Any to roll), watch the live preview, then Create Journal (writes the two pages) or Post to Chat. Every briefing is reproducible from its seed, which also drives the artwork.
To reveal a brief to players, show or grant them the journal entry as usual — they will only see the Mission Brief page, never the GM Dossier.
Install
On a server (recommended): Setup → Add-on Modules → Install Module → paste the manifest URL:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/slaguru666/sla-blueprint-news/main/module.json
By hand: copy this sla-blueprint-news/ folder into your server's
Data/modules/ directory and restart Foundry.
Compatibility
Foundry VTT v13–v14 (verified 14.361). System-agnostic — it writes plain journal entries and does not touch any system's actor/item schema.
