Get quick answers to common questions about using Alpha-5 with your Foundry VTT games
Everything You Need to Know
Here are answers to the most common questions our users ask about Alpha-5 and how it works with your Foundry VTT games.
Alpha-5 needs permission to send messages and create embeds in your Discord server. This lets the bot respond to your commands, share game updates, and display beautiful formatted messages about your Foundry worlds. Don't worry - Alpha-5 can't read your private messages or access anything outside of what you specifically allow it to do.
Alpha-5 uses your Foundry credentials to help manage your games automatically. Your GM password lets the bot add new players to your world when they join through Discord. Your server admin password allows Alpha-5 to switch between different worlds for you with simple Discord commands. This saves you time and makes managing your games much easier!
Alpha-5 is a cloud-based Discord bot, so there are no system requirements for your computer! All you need is:
A Discord server where you have administrator permissions
A running Foundry VTT server (self-hosted or cloud-hosted)
An active internet connection
The bot handles all the heavy lifting from our servers, so even if you're running Foundry on a modest machine, Alpha-5 will work perfectly!
Alpha-5 has been thoroughly tested with Foundry VTT version 12. While we expect it to work with most, if not all other versions, we haven't formally tested compatibility with earlier releases yet. Our team is committed to ensuring broad compatibility and will update our documentation as we confirm support for additional versions.
Alpha-5 has been extensively tested on self-hosted Foundry servers, but we expect it to work regardless of your hosting solution - whether that's The Forge, Molten Hosting, or any other provider. We're so confident that we're offering one month of free Alpha-5 service to the first person who can confirm or deny that Alpha-5 works with their specific hosting provider. Help us expand our compatibility documentation and get a month on us!
Your data security is our top priority! All sensitive information like passwords and server details are encrypted using industry-standard security measures. Alpha-5 only connects to your Foundry server when you specifically request an action, and we never store or access more data than necessary. Your game content, player information, and server details remain completely private and secure.
We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee for all new subscriptions. If you're not completely satisfied with Alpha-5 within your first week, just contact our support team and we'll process a full refund - no questions asked! After the 7-day period, you can cancel your subscription at any time, and you'll continue to have access until the end of your current billing period.
Ready to supercharge your Foundry experience? Head over to your server dashboard where you'll find your current plan details and available upgrades under the "Subscription and Features" section. Premium accounts unlock advanced automation, priority support, and exclusive features to make running your games even smoother.
We're sorry to see you go! You can easily delete your account and all associated data by visiting your profile page and clicking the account deletion button. This will permanently remove all your information from our systems - including server details, credentials, and usage history. Please note that this action cannot be undone, so make sure you're certain before proceeding.
Yes, but with an important limitation: each Discord server can only be linked to one Foundry world at a time. If you want to manage multiple Foundry servers, you'll need multiple Discord servers - one for each Foundry world. The good news is that you can purchase Alpha-5 for multiple Discord servers and manage them all from your unified dashboard. This setup works well for GMs who run different campaigns in separate Discord communities.
