I’m here to share a new module I’ve been working on today called Narrator Portrait Spotlight.

It’s designed to showcase your NPCs in your scenes super easy and clutter-free.

Here’s what it does:

  • PCs on the Left, NPCs on the Right: The module automatically places Player Characters (defined as tokens with at least one user player owner) on the left side of the screen, while all other tokens (NPCs) show up on the right.
  • Handles Multiple Characters: If you have multiple PCs or NPCs, their portraits are slightly offset to prevent them from overlapping. T

Using the Module

The module includes a macro named “Toggle Portrait Spotlight” in the module compendium.

  • Drag the macro to your hotbar for easy access.
  • To Add a Portrait: Select the token (PC or NPC) and click the macro. The portrait will appear on the designated side.
  • To Remove a Portrait: Select the token again and click the macro. The portrait will fade out and be removed from the spotlight.

Why a Macro?

I opted for a macro instead of a complex UI because it’s quicker and more flexible. You can assign it to hotkeys and remap it as needed.

Current Status

The module is pretty solid with tall and narrow images, but I’m still ironing out the issues with wider portraits. Your feedback is welcome!

Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions or run into any issues!
