VTT (Virtual Tabletop)? (lemmy.8th.world)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by phase@lemmy.8th.world to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I am playing TTRPG remotely. For this, I was using far.app, a js app, which permit to link Game Master and Players in order to share Character sheets, dice roles, some index cards (set up as a "scene").

Would you know an open-source software that I could self-host to basically have a board with multiple users at once.

I've long since switched to foundry, but I used to use

It's not web based, but the clients are available for linux mac and windows,

decorum: a solemn request that questions use question marks.

why: differentiation - between "hey. look at what I made" posts and "anybody know how I can?" questions.

You probably already know, but FoundryVTT is pretty fantastic. The software/base VTT itself is not open source, but the rule systems and modules (QOL add-ons) mostly are. I self host my own server.
