    VTT Use Data by Game Played - ???

    Probably not fully, since it's essentially a self-installed piece of software that doesn't run out of any one centralized service. The best they could probably do is look at the subset of Foundry users who host through The Forge - assuming that service has the capability to gather that usage...

    Foundry VTT Author Chimes in on OGL 1.1

    It sounds like you're assuming the Foundry (etc) folks just tried to sneak their way into D&D support without trying to obtain official support. I'm not privy to any discussions that may or may not have happened between WOTC and Foundry, but I strongly suspect the opposite to be the case - that...

    D&D General Are you jumping ship? What will you be switching to?

    My 3-ish-year 5e campaign wrapped up in early December and I was leaning toward a switch to PF2e anyway for the next one (based in part on the strength of its Foundry VTT system and the level of support offered by Paizo for it). But in the meantime I'm doing a lot of dabbling - I want to run...

    D&D (2024) Looking for VTT (Foundry or Roll20) campaigns for my next (5e) campaign

    I'm in a similar situation - I've just finished up a 5e campaign of close to 3 years, all in Foundry, but in my case in a homebrew setting with bits and pieces grafted in from all over the place... and yeah, I'm tired of all the work involved even though I want to start a new campaign. Instead...

    WotC Guessing as to WotC's VTT plans

    I'm a Foundry user (have run 4 different systems and written two) who finds himself disappointed when invited to a game that's hosted on Roll20 because it just feels really antiquated, but having had a number of conversations with people who have done the research and still not made the jump...

    Lord of the Rings: The Long Defeat

    I'd rather see some fleshing-out of the tales from the First Age. The stories of Turin, or Beren & Luthien, for example, could be turned into amazing films in the right hands.

    D&D (2024) I am highly skeptical of the Unreal VTT

    Foundry is self-hosted (or hosted through a 3rd party like The Forge) and doesn't collect info on how it's being used, so there's no repository of usage information for it. I suppose the folks at The Forge could extract some usage data and make it public but I don't think they've done so, and...

    Foundry VTT system for DM Scotty's EZD6 available

    After building a big, crunchy system for Foundry I decided to try something on the other end of the spectrum - Scotty McFarland's rules-light EZD6. In case anyone wants to run this game in a virtual tabletop. EZD6 | Foundry Virtual Tabletop

    [VTT] What size screen do you use?

    I've been a dual-monitor addict for years :). My main screen is 32", with a 24" monitor next to it. Usually I run the main VTT window on the big monitor and pop out whatever character sheets, journal entries, etc. I want to keep open (which can be quite a lot when I'm GMing) onto the second...

    V&V3: Mighty Protectors system for Foundry VTT

    Last night I released version 1.0, which among numerous other tweaks and enhancements now includes support for vehicle sheets!

    Recommend a Virtual Tabletop (VTT), 2022 Edition

    Foundry is the best fit I've found for the things I want to do. At the time I started looking for a VTT to run my own campaigns & one-shots with, I'd been playing several regular games (5e and Mighty Protectors) on R20 and working on a revamp of the available character sheet for MP.... but I...

    Payn's Ponderings^ Sci-Fi VTT Maps

    On my blog I maintain several lists of resources for superhero-themed gaming (because that's what got me started back into the hobby a few years ago) which have more or less evolved into "stuff that's not all fantasy all the time because fantasy resources are easy to find" and have a lot of SF...

    D&D General ARcana -- Augmented TTRPG Platform from Actor Joe Manganiello

    I play mostly by VTT these days but when I do get around a table with non-virtual people, I'm very much pencil-and-paper (and maps and terrain and minis for scenes that lend themselves to them)... having a bunch of devices at the table seems cumbersome and immersion-breaking. I get annoyed when...

    I'm writing an indie diceless TTRPG, want to check it out?

    I think that's sort of how Cavemaster works, except the resources are a small handful of rocks or shells or whatever other small objects are available. (I own a copy but haven't taken time to wrap my head around the dice-less mechanic enough actually try the game out.)

    3D Tools Reviews

    Beta keys went out this week for the Dragon Map Maker kickstarter. I've only had a few minutes to play with it but in its initial state I couldn't even follow along with the demo video to figure out how to use it even at the fairly basic level of drawing out separate rooms. (There was an...

    D&D General Your opinions & suggestions on VTT's

    There are lots of VTTs with their own pros and cons but the only one I'm aware of that can be coerced into doing something similar to what TTS does is Foundry, and that's via a user-developed 3d plugin. It looks like there's still a fair amount of work involved in getting a scene up and...

    V&V3: Mighty Protectors system for Foundry VTT

    Most of the games I run these days are online via Foundry and I wanted to play Mighty Protectors there too, so I built a system for it: Mighty Protectors for FVTT Project page is here: Villains and Vigilantes 3 - Mighty Protectors | Foundry Virtual Tabletop With some examples and...

    Funny character names

    In my Mighty Protectors campaign I'm incapable of taking NPCs entirely seriously, which has resulted in heroes and villains like: Captain Generica - Used to operate under a different name but got sued into oblivion by a comic company. Now in order to make ends meet, his battle cry is the URL...

    Science Fiction: Greatest TV Shows Part III

    1. Babylon 5 2. Galactica reboot (though I wasn't fond of the way it ended) 3+ - a hodge-podge of other stuff whose order would probably vary depending on my mood and which one I'd watched most recently. ST:TNG and DS9 are in there somewhere but not the rest of the Treks (though I don't share...

    Looking for some alternate VTTs

    You're going to have trouble on any system if you're trying to build a home-brew-ish character sheet with a lot of automation but limited coding. I'm most familiar with Foundry and myself and a friend have both been looking into ways to use it for Mighty Protectors. He's had some luck...
