Great news for fans of Alpha Cephei and virtual tabletop enthusiasts! Alpha Cephei now enjoys full support on Foundry Virtual Tabletop (VTT) through the Twodsix system module. This integration marks a significant milestone, making the game more accessible and enjoyable in a digital format.

Twodsix: Your Gateway to Alpha Cephei in Foundry VTT

Twodsix is not just any system module; it’s a free, open-source framework designed to support various Cepheus Engine-compatible rulesets, including Traveller and now, Alpha Cephei. With Twodsix, players can fully immerse themselves in the Alpha Cephei universe with features tailored specifically to the game’s mechanics.

Features and Customizations

The Twodsix now has compendia loaded with all the items, skills, and NPCs from the Alpha Cephei core ruleset, and this is hugely convenient. One of the standout features of Twodsix is its drag-and-drop functionality, which allows players to easily place NPCs into scenes or equipping characters with gear found in the core rulebook. Everything is intuitive and enhances the gaming experience. And it’s a sight to behold!

Apart from that, Twodsix goes a step further by integrating special customizations unique to Alpha Cephei. Stuff like our specific Initiative rolling method, encumbrance system and weapon modes work seamlessly with Twodsix in Foundry VTT.
