   The best homebrew option

   While many of us have become pampered by DND Beyond's rulebook integration, Beyond Tabletop brings us back to our basics. By removing the integrated rulebooks they allow for every feature to be homebrewed and managed how you and your DM desire. In my findings it is the best tool out there as far as capturing the feel of pen and paper while also giving the versatility and ease of access of the internet.

   👍 Pros:    Homebrew|Customization|Quick response time from developers|Free

   👎 Cons:    No integrated rulebook

• Roll20 Sheet for Trinity Continuum?

  The closest I've found to a useable Trinity sheet is on astraltabletop.com where they have the quickstarts pre-configured. The sheets there are pretty primitive and irksome to use, though. Source: over 2 years ago

• Want a break from your Main Campaign ? PRISON BREAK INSANITY is a Free 5th level Adventure Full of clockwork monsters, chase sequences and an intense dungeon crawl

  I'd recommend putting it up on Astral as well. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Looking at new virtual tabletop to migrate away from roll20, any recommendations?

  Check out Astral Tabletop https://astraltabletop.com. It's like a much more modern Roll20 in active development. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Which form of online playing do you prefer, and why?

  Astral Tabletop https://astraltabletop.com currently has my attention. A free account is somewhat limited, and I can imagine you may need to only have uploaded whatever assets you need for the next session due to space limitations, but it's easier to use and way more pretty than anything else I've tried.
