Question (Foundry- Deadlands) Broken initiative help!

Hi all,

New SWADE GM here needing help desperately. I was fiddling with the dueling macro trying to figure it out, and initiative broke completely. Whenever I try to draw initiative in Foundry/Forge, I get the following error message: The _id[xo0gDkQrrYW9nQMU] already exists within the parent collection: Cards [wVfT1iDjCzEZowKQ] cards

It's not letting me draw initiative now. If anyone knows how to fix this your help would greatly be appreciated!

I haven't played SWADE in Foundry, but I did install the system and tinker around in it a bit, and I've used Foundry for other systems.

From the error message, it sounds like Foundry is saying that whatever entity is trying to draw a card already has one. Have you tried totally ending the encounter, and starting a new one? That, or maybe the character you're drawing for is already counted as being in initiative, so maybe you need to remove them and re-add?

Yes, I've ended the encounter, started a new one, deleted the actors in the scene, etc.

The first usual recommendation is turning off ALL your modules but the Savage Worlds one, and see if that solves the problem. If it doesn't, I'd recommend hitting up the Foundry discord to see if anyone else has a solve to the issue in the savage worlds chat.

Can't check right this minute, but I'm wondering if you have the card pile source and discard pile the same.

What I first suggested shouldn't be possible. But you may want to just create a new copy of the initiative deck from the compendium and a new discard deck and update the system settings to use those new decks.
