Personally I’m running Foundry and have been meaning to spin up Owlbear 1.0 now that it’s self hostable - but I feel like there’s more i could be doing. Is anyone aware of a self hostable character sheet/character builder? I suppose i could go next cloud for storing folders and files but I don’t think anyone would use it - what self hosted services are you using at your tables?
PlanarAlly is a pretty cool self-hosted VTT.
Not really the topic, but why do you want to run owlbear alongside foundry? It seems like a slimmer alternative rather than something to use in conjunction.
To actually answer the title post I just run foundryvtt and I have a bunch of RPG manuals backed up in Nextcloud so I guess that too
Two reasons: Foundry has been feeling more and more bloated and still doesn’t work well on tablets or mobile, while Owlbear does; and Foundry doesn’t like to play nicely with closest tunnels, and owlbear does from what I understand.
Came across this last night - github.com/Handyfon/simplemobile
That’s fair. I can’t say it feels more bloated to me, but the tablet/mobile issue is definitely a big one if relevant for your players.
Do you run Foundry in Docker? Where does Foundry not play nice?
I’ve run Foundry + CloudFlared in Docker with 0 issues for some time.
A Nextcloud containing PDFs of every RPG book I’ve been able to get my grubby little hook on.
Yarr.
Oh man, I wish I could get my grubby little hands on those books
Sorry bruh, only accept people I know in meatspace. While some of the books came from ahoy-matey means, more of them came from legitimate sources and may have digital watermarks. It’s one thing to share a book with other players at my table, another entirely to publish it online for any rando.
Do you do pdf editing in nextcloud?
I don’t, but it’s not a bad idea. Never thought about it.
I have Foundry through Docker, but that’s pretty much the extent of the self host. Everything else comes through D&D Beyond. I’d love to get away from wizards, but it’s pretty damn slick.
5e.tools has a plugin for Foundry that lets you pull basically everything from every source into Foundry.
Thank you, I will look into this!
Not hosted in the tradition sense but Obsidian.md makes a near perfect companion if you don’t want to put all of your content in Foundry. Check out Obsidian TTRPG Tutorials obsidianttrpgtutorials.com
Oh huge fan of obsidian my ttrpg graph has life 10k notes. If it was FOSS and natively self hostable it would be perfect.

I mostly play Vampire, Mage, Paranoia or Monster of the week, so I don’t need a full VTT, just some dice rolling and some sheet/NPC management that can integrate well with something like Discord. So I wrote my own, which then turned into a snowball of adding features, making it more generic, etc… It’s still an ongoing project, but with Foundry and others out there I don’t think anyone outside me will useine so I’ve put a lid on that and only fiddle with it when I need something for a game I’m playing.
