The Ultimate Automated Animations Module Deep Dive - October 2025
Automated Animations and JB2A are some of the most popular modules for Foundry Virtual Tabletop for good reason. The pair make it an absolute breeze to create gorgeous special effects for any item, spell, or feature in Foundry (almost) no matter the system that you're playing in. All while being extremely approachable at a basic level with a surprising amount of depth available to you.
Today we take a deep dive into the world of Automated Animations and all it has to offer. We start off with the basics and build from there, culminating with a look at AA in other systems and one of the amazing "Preset Library" modules: D&D5e Animations which gives you a vast library of amazing animations wihtou having to lift a finger. Join us and let us know your thoughts!
