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.
irmadlad showed me www.cauldron-vtt.net

Oh don’t be blaming me damnit. LOL
Sorryyyyyy
Wow, cauldron is looking great! I saw it a long ways back (like pre-1.0) and promptly forgot about it (thanks ADHD).
Wasn’t even thinking about vtt and going to have to stand up an instance before thanksgiving!
Thank you but it isn’t self-host-able.
If you want you can self host it according to there gitlab link.
Not really a install guide include it seems
I’ve long since switched to foundry, but I used to use
www.rptools.net/toolbox/maptool/
It’s not web based, but the clients are available for linux mac and windows,
decorum: request that questions use question marks.
why: differentiation - between “hey. look at what I made” posts and “anybody know how I can?” questions.
Are you referring to this? boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/344554/decorum
I think they wanted you to end the post title with a question mark
I use Owlbear Rodeo. It doesn’t do character sheets (unless there is an extension that does), but I find the tabletop with tokens and fog easy to use.
Yes. The backend service they rely on has changed its API and they said that they have no plan at all to follow. I discovered them only after they left peerJs (an alternative, which is interoperable and open source).
I know the developer got disenchanted with the project and is focusing on his games. Didn’t know there were technical issues. Is it easy to self host?
From the looks of things, your best options are either Linwood Setonix, Dungeon Revealer, PlanarAlly, QuestPortal, Alchemy, Cauldron, SpellCanvas, Arkenforge, and MapTool. That’s all I could find as of right now. Maybe it’s pottible with Mythic Table, but don’t really know too much about it.
Me personally, I really liked using maptool. www.rptools.net/toolbox/maptool/
Its got a bit of a learning curve and doesnt look great, but it gets the job done and is Foss.
Is it actually Foss? I assumed it was, but recently I was checking and couldn’t find anything about licenses and stuff on the webpage.
Yup, they say its free and open source, and here is the link to their github:

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?
