How it works

From one download to a table they remember.

Beneos is animated battlemaps, plus creatures designed to fight the way players expect, not just two swings and a breath weapon. 2.5D top-down and portrait art, several skins, and every D&D SRD creature in the backlog.

Animated
The short version

The whole thing in three steps.

Step 01

Choose your content

Buy the pack you want, or join a Patreon for everything. It lands in your Beneos Cloud library, ready to download.

Step 02

Run it in Foundry VTT

Play in Foundry VTT? The Beneos module drops a whole release into your world, walled, lit and automated, in one click.

Step 03

Or play wherever else you play

On any other VTT or at the table, our MP4 and WebM files import almost anywhere, ready for your own walls and sounds.

What you actually get

You're buying the experience, not just the asset.

We don't just hand you a map or a monster, we help you fold it into your story. Every release is the asset plus the tools to stage it well.

Animated
Battlemaps

Battlemaps and sceneries

We build whole locations, not single maps, cross-linked in Foundry into one explorable world. Each map has a calm Scenery for roleplay and a tactical Battlemap for the fight.

  • Whole locations, several connected maps per release
  • A Scenery backdrop and a tactical Battlemap for every room
  • Cross-linked into one explorable world in Foundry
  • Rendered handouts of the points of interest, in high resolution
  • Ten-minute ambient tracks, recorded or licensed, per scene
Handout A handout is a close-up rendered from the map. Keep it open to describe a place, or hand it to players when the spot matters.
Creatures

Creatures and monsters

Each one arrives as a working encounter, not a sprite. You drop it on the map and run it the same night.

  • 721 2.5D creature tokens, 411 of them SRD
  • A hand-built D&D 5e statblock, ready to import
  • Several skins, so a pack never looks like copies of one token
  • A tactical guide for running it well the first time
  • Automation in Foundry, like status icons that keep themselves up to date
  • A printable token and card for the table
Spells

Spells

New spells that stand on their own, not reskins, built to reward off-beat playstyles and carefully balanced. A GM can hand one out as loot.

  • 484 illustrated spells, 339 of them SRD
  • Brand-new spells, not reskins of the classics
  • Built to enable exotic, off-meta playstyles
  • Can be handed out as loot or a reward
  • Balanced by class, level, action type and components, with printable cards
Items

Items

A Beneos item is a mechanic, not a line on a sheet. Every one has an Origin, eighteen in all, matching Origins grant set bonuses, and many grow with a character from level 1 to 20.

  • 713 magic items, all gold-priced with our own balancing ruleset
  • 18 Origins, with set bonuses for matching attuned pieces
  • Item Radar: attuned players sense nearby Origin items
  • Tier upgrades, legacy gear that grows from level 1 to 20
  • Loot Generator in Foundry: random rewards after every fight
  • Shop Creator in Foundry: a guild, merchant, smith or alchemist on demand
However you play

Built for your table, whichever one it is.

Deepest integration
Foundry

On Foundry VTT, through Beneos Cloud

Through the Beneos module a whole release installs in one click, walled, lit and automated, with statblocks in tow. The shortest path from buying to playing.

All it takes is Foundry VTT and the free Beneos module.

Table

At the table, on a screen

No VTT, no software. Put the animated map on a TV or projector, run it in person, and drop the ambience track through your speakers.

All it takes is a laptop, a screen and the downloaded files.
Other VTTs

On Roll20 and other VTTs

Import the map into Roll20, Fantasy Grounds or any VTT. You trade one-click automation for total freedom, and the animated art comes with you.

All it takes is the downloaded files and your VTT's import.
On Foundry VTT, through Beneos Cloud

One click, and the scene is on the table.

In Foundry, a whole release installs in one click, walled, lit and automated. Scenes cross-link, the Autopilot runs each turn, and the Loot Generator and Shop Creator fill your world on demand.

At the table, on a screen

Lay a TV flat and play the file.

No VTT, no software. The animated map plays on a TV or projector, and a ten-minute ambience track sets the room before a word is spoken.

On Roll20 and other VTTs

Import the scene into your VTT.

Bring the map into Roll20, Fantasy Grounds or any VTT. You build the scene with your own walls and sounds, and every map, scenery, intro and ambience comes with you.

Getting it to your game

Two ways out of your library.

Everything you have access to sits in Your Library, whether you bought it in the shop or unlocked it on Patreon. From there, two paths to your game.

For Foundry VTT users

Install scenes directly into your world from the cloud, walled and lit, with no files to manage. One click and it is on the table.

For any other VTT

Download the files as a ZIP and use them anywhere, on a TV or in another VTT.

Shop buyers and patrons use the same library. A buyer sees what they own, a patron sees everything their tier unlocks.
Two ways to get it

One library. Two doors.

The shop and the Patreon are not rivals. They are two ways into the same content, sorted by one question: how often you play.

Patreon

Join on Patreon

For the GM who runs most weeks. A membership gets every new release, the full back catalogue and the Foundry integration, and is cheapest over time.

Shop

Buy in the shop

For the one map your Friday needs. Buy it once, own it for good, no subscription. It costs more per pack than the membership, and that is the point.

Buying once is the low-risk way in. Plenty of patrons started with a single pack.
