Foundry VTT Minimap · detailed
You don't pay for features — you pay for the comfort of having them inside Foundry VTT. Everything added here will also be offered free on the web.
Native Foundry VTT window with your interactive map, markers and zones, synced with arcaneatlas.org.
The server filters hidden markers and DM notes based on each player's role. Nothing secret reaches the client.
Only the GM subscribes. Their players run the same macro and inherit access while the subscription is active.

Why paid
Almost every tool on Arcane Atlas is — and will stay — free. We build them so anyone can use them, no strings attached. This one is the exception: streaming your maps live inside Foundry VTT means signed URLs, extra bandwidth and constant server work per session. If it went viral for free, the hosting bill would sink the whole project.
That's why this specific tool costs 5 €/month: it covers the real cost of running it so the rest of the site can stay free, ad-free, and without selling your data. It's not a paywall on Arcane Atlas — it's a way to keep the free tools alive.
Frequently asked questions
Why exactly €5?
It's the minimum Patreon lets us work with reasonably after their fees. The idea is that it stays cheap and symbolic, not a luxury product.
Will the price go up?
No plans. If it ever had to change, we'd announce it in advance on Discord and honor the price for existing subscribers.
What if I can't pay?
The web is 100% self-sufficient. You have maps, markers, factions, player view and shared links, all free. You only miss the comfort of opening it inside Foundry.
Do my players have to pay?
No. Only the GM pays. Players run the same macro and see a filtered version of the map (no secret markers or DM notes).
What happens to my maps if I cancel?
Nothing. Your maps, markers and factions stay intact on the free web. You just stop being able to open them as a floating minimap inside Foundry VTT.
How is access revoked if I cancel on Patreon?
When we receive Patreon's cancellation notice we invalidate your Foundry tokens instantly: any new minimap opening is blocked. Windows already open stop working at their next session renewal (up to 24 h, to minimize cloud usage during play).
