Comment on VTT Virtual Tabletop

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.

Yes, but it is closed source and I heard of plug in to add games and so… I don’t want to have a table for few stats and items.
Still thank you for the idea.

Can you help us to understand why the plugins to add games is a problem for you?
Maybe I’m missing your meaning here, but it reads kind of like you’re expecting some kind of situation where a single VTT would somehow support every game system out of the box?

I would like to draw a table, add words and numbers, and that’s all. I don’t want to have to code anything. I am GM-ing Blades in the Dark, with Deep-cut, and some things we took from Fate and others. I want to be able to freely create anything, even in the middle of the session. We don’t need automation. I want simplicity.

You don’t have to code anything. You just look through the game system browser, pick what you want, and after a few seconds it’s installed.
Then screenshare over Discord while drawing things in MS Paint. It’s simple and it’s not automated.

So, it seems like the plugins don’t really affect you either way then? If you don’t want that added functionality, you’re good to just not use it, right?
