Requesting Feedback: System Compendium Folders https://github.com/foundryvtt/dnd5e/pull/2345
Looking to hear yalls thoughts on implementing Compendium folders for the system, this is the structure that I laid out, but curious to hear anyone's opinions on any changes (maybe just have folders for the document types? (Items, Actors, etc?) Also, keep in mind that these folders would only apply to newly created worlds and therefore will not impact your current folder structure, or lack thereof

**DnD5e SRD Content** #cd2c1e
    rules
    tables
    heroes
    **Character Features** #b72c1f
        classes
        subclasses
        classfeatures
        backgrounds
        races
    **Items & Spells** #941919 
        items
        spells
        tradegoods
    **Monsters** #7d160c
        monsters
        monsterfeatures

tables being in items and spells is kinda weird to me, but no idea where else theyd go

raw bobcat
#

They're mostly tables of items, so...

north saddle
#

oh right

raw bobcat
#

Also Items and Spells —> Items & Spells

hollow apex
#

If we are committing to having spells with the items, and not with the Character stuff, yeah I agree with unsol

covert spoke
#

hmm, the & is on-brand for the system, makes sense

tulip jungle
#

Items n Spells tho

Well it does include one, sooooo

#

It's a folder about Characters

north saddle
#

feels more like a folder about character features tho, only one pact is focused on the characters themselves

hollow apex
#

This is why I named mine "PC Stuff", but that doesn't seem very professional 😄

north saddle
#

subclass, class, feat, etc

flat rock
#

Characters
... Progression
... Advancement
... Leveling

tulip jungle
#

Oh yea we talked about pulling them out of that folder too

flat rock
#

"Droppables" but plz no

hollow apex
#

Heh, the way you presented it in text is how id like to see it. Instead rules would be at the bottom.

tulip jungle
#

Stay focused brother 😆

raw bobcat
#

Maybe this is a dumb hill to die on but I'm hard against the starter heroes pack being in a folder called Character Features

hollow apex
#

Currently moved out with rules and tables

tulip jungle
#

yea, but it's one Actor comp in a folder with 5 other Item comps, so it's the outlier, also yea I moved it to the top level, for now

#

Could also go the Monster and Monster features Route and do Characters and Character Features

#

oh shit I see your point haha, but thats only 2 compendiums

hollow apex
#

I still prefer "Characters" even with Starter Heroes moved out.

raw bobcat
#

I'm cool with heroes being in the root

raw bobcat
hollow apex
#

Yeah

raw bobcat
#

(but yeah there's more symmetry with Monsters if it's Characters)

tulip jungle
#

What about colors, cascading or just by level?

raw bobcat
#

I like cascading for the differentiation.

hollow apex
#

Yeah, agreed. Looks fine as depicted there IMO.

Watch out for colours that might make it difficult to read

tulip jungle
#

Do you think any of these colors are difficult to read?

tepid linden
#

Nope
