How to Set Up Eightfold Paper in FoundryVTT
⚠️ Note: FoundryVTT content is currently available only to Paper Wizard and Paper Hero patrons.
Follow these steps to unlock your content:
Step 1: Link Your Patreon Account
Go to foundryvtt.com and log in.
Visit your profile.
Scroll to the Unlinked Accounts section and click Patreon.
Once linked, check your ‘subscribed content’ — you should see Eightfold Paper listed.
Give it a minute or two to update.
Step 2: Install the Module Pack
Open the FoundryVTT Launcher.
Click the Add-on Modules tab.
Select Install Module and search for Eightfold Paper.
Install the modules you want.
Foundry may suggest two optional dependencies:
Tagger and Monk’s Active Tile Triggers
These are highly recommended for full functionality of our Dynamic Fold feature — though technically optional.
Step 3: Enable the Modules
Launch your game world in Foundry.
Go to Game Settings (⚙️ icon) → Manage Modules.
Enable the Eightfold Paper module(s).
Enable the recommended dependencies if prompted.
Hit Save Module Settings to refresh.
Step 4: Import the Maps
Open the Compendium Packs tab (📓 icon).
Find the Eightfold Paper Map Packs folder.
Either:
Right-click a pack and select Import All, or
Open the pack and drag individual maps into your Scenes tab.
Done! You're ready to explore.
