Kalymba

This game system supports and enhances the play experience of Kalymba in Foundry VTT.

Kalymba is an epic action-adventure tabletop RPG inspired by the cultures and mythologies of the African continent. Although it does not claim to faithfully portray historical ad social realities of its inspiration source, this fantastic scenario brings to the game table the essence of the African worldview, proposing to explore themes that are still not well developed in the contemporary RPG scene, while promoting a new African-inspired approach at traditional fantasy games as a whole. Furthermore, this book offers a dynamic and intuitive rules system, great for beginners, but robust enough for experienced players, and for running long-lasting campaigns.

Development

Prerequisites

In order to build this system, recent versions of node and yarn are required. Most likely, using npm also works, but only yarn is officially supported. We recommend using the latest lts version of node. If you use nvm to manage your node versions, you can simply run

nvm install

in the project's root directory.

You also need to install the project's dependencies. To do so, run

yarn install

Building

You can build the project by running

yarn build

Alternatively, you can run

yarn build:watch

to watch for changes and automatically build as necessary.

Linking the built project to Foundry VTT

In order to provide a fluent development experience, it is recommended to link the built system to your local Foundry VTT installation's data folder. In order to do so, first add a file called foundryconfig.json to the project root with the following content:

{
  "dataPath": "/absolute/path/to/your/FoundryVTT"
}

(if you are using Windows, make sure to use \ as a path separator instead of /)

Then run

yarn link-project

On Windows, creating symlinks requires administrator privileges, so unfortunately you need to run the above command in an administrator terminal for it to work.

Creating a release

The workflow works basically the same as the workflow of the League Basic JS Module Template, please follow the instructions given there.
