Would a more powerful computer like that be objectively "better" then for foundry? I have a m1 pro macbook pro, would it be better then to just "run" foundry from this? Or is it best to get some dedicated box and keep things seperate?

it can be, but whether the expenditure of cash is worth it is another matter

#

I'd start hosting on the macbook, see how that works for you, then if your players start clamoring for the game to be up 24/7 for them to poke at their sheets, maybe look into dedicated hosting

#

and even then, I'd also look at maybe a hosting partner account, unless janitoring your own server sounds like a hobby you want to get into

#

because if all you're going to slap on this is Foundry, a Ryzen is overkill, and for $400 you could buy almost 4 years of cloud hosting

I understand. I'm a pro Dm who runs 5 games a week, and right now what I'm getting out of Forge is becoming problematic. The amount of storage space is getting frustrating and expensive as the patreon assets add up. So if I gotta spend a few hundred bucks now and be done with it that's cool to me.

that's fair. do you plan on running multiple servers off this, or do you just run one?

Um, I do 5-6 unique games for different groups each week (so a tuesday night game, a friday afternoon, that sort of thing). Does that answer it?

#

Sorry for the delay, I didn't get a notification so I checked back in manually! I turned them on again for this server :)

by "different servers" I mean "do you want to have multiple games accessible at all times, or do you just want one at any given time"

#

since a single copy of Foundry can only have one world loaded
