Templates

Templates are premade GM screens. Templates are complete layouts with screens, tiles, extensions, and backgrounds that other GMs can load and start using immediately. A template might contain screens for each scene in an adventure, or a ready-to-go encounter setup with initiative trackers, maps, and character sheets already arranged. The goal is less prep time and more time playing.

Creating a template

You can create a template by creating a definition in the plugin manifest.json file.

Templates are declared under the presets key. The manifest name predates the rename and is kept for compatibility — a preset in the manifest and on disk is a template in the app.

Example:

{
  // [...]
  "presets": [
    { "$ref": "presets/my-preset/manifest.json" }
  ]
}

Template definition

Similar to an extension, a template is defined by its own manifest.json file.

Reference

Please reference https://overseer.studio/schemas/preset/manifest.json for a complete definition of the file.

Export session as template

There is no way to export sessions as templates, yet. This feature is on the roadmap.
