Troubleshooting and Requesting User Support

It's always appreciated when users submit an issue for all kinds of user questions, comments, and concerns. For those who prefer support via public chat, we recommend asking in:

• The #dnd-other channel in the official Foundry VTT Discord server
• The #ose-virtual-tabletop channel in the official Necrotic Gnome Discord server
• There are unofficial Foundry VTT user communities for many other languages if you'd prefer to discuss Foundry VTT in another language. Keep in mind that it's unlikely you'll find answers to your questions about a less popular game system like Old-School Essentials, but they are good for asking questions about Foundry VTT in general.
• The /r/FoundryVTT community on Reddit may also have answers to your Foundry VTT questions, but it is another general Foundry VTT user community that may not have many users with specific knowledge about OSE. Be sure to write [OSE] in your post subject and select FVTT Question from the "Flair" menu.

We do not offer user support for the free game system via email. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Any feedback is deeply appreciated. Please browse the open issues and if there's not a matching one already, open a new one.
