Foundry Virtual Tabletop D&D Beyond Miro Shmeppy Owlbear Rodeo
  1. A self-hosted, modern, and developer-friendly roleplaying platform.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    A lot of people are recommending Foundry VTT, but it has a steeper, more technical learning curve than Roll20. However, If you want something with an easer learning curve. I suggest Owlbear Rodeo, which is basically just a simple battle map tool. Or PlayRole which is still in early access, but is shaping up to be a less map focused VTT.

  2. Official online toolset for Dungeons & Dragons tabletop gaming
    AboveVTT for D&D, absolutely, if you already have material on dndbeyond.com -- it's always seemed a common-sense solution to utilize the existing digital WotC collection, and AboveVTT does so brilliantly.

  3. 3
    Scalable, secure, cross-device and enterprise-ready team collaboration tool for distributed teams. Join 2M+ users & 8000+ teams from around the world.
    I use Zoom (paid probably should shift) and miro.com (free) as the virtual tabletop, you can upload a map and images the players can move round everyone can see everyone else's pointer so they can gesture and you can keep multiple maps by zooming into different areas.

  4. Your wet erase mat. Online.
    We use Shmeppy https://shmeppy.com/ and Discord as our solution. It is system neutral and we've used it with a few different games, including "mostly systemless" oneshots.

  5. Owlbear Rodeo is an attempt to make a web app to run tabletop encounters without the complicated setup process needed for other VTTs.
