Lights Out - Shadowdark theme for FoundryVTT

^{Let There Be Darkness...}

This module adds a darker and more fitting user interface theme for the Shadowdark system in the FoundryVTT platform. It simplifies the player view by providing character and party panels. These panels can be used for quick access to token hit points and other information.

^{Token art owned by The Arcane Library. Background art generated using Midjourney. No art assets are provided with this module.}
