That's fair. As homebrew content, it's in a gray area anyway, but avoiding that specific problem is an easy fix I can make in the next update.

Hi All, I just published a new major version of the ruleset that I use to run and teach a rules-light version of D&D 5e. I'm open to any questions and feedback. Thanks! PDFs here: https://frostyfreeze.itch.io/dnd-story-mode-5e What is D&D Story Mode? Simpler Rules. Story Mode...

Hi, this is Joe (not Joel, but that's ok :) ) Thanks for the comments! I've taught about 15 new players using the system, and so far it's working great. Though the spell list needs more work. I don't really like it either, honestly. My first couple versions left it out (keeping Athletics...

The latest update includes a few new community features: - Follower & Wait List system, to make finding games easier. - Chat log archives for each table, with editable Snippets. - A Player XP (PXP) system, gained by playing Fabletop sessions. - You can now upgrade to Advanced mode manually via...

I started working on it over a year ago. But design probably took as long as the actual programming. GMs with the Advanced setup can edit/create battlemats and re-color the existing miniatures on-the-fly. Custom miniatures aren't really supported right now because they need to follow a...

Thanks, Ben! Yes, it's been a solo effort from the beginning.

Update - v1.02 Beta Lots of things have been added in this update: - 100 new miniatures - Color panel for miniatures (21 colors) - 23 new battlemats - All battlemats are full-sized (30% larger) - In-game battlemat editor - New miniatures and battlemats suitable for a "Space Future"...

You might want to take a look at Fabletop, which is in open beta right now. It's all web-based so you don't need to deal with any technical stuff. Fabletop.com Right now, it's mostly suited to rules-lite roleplaying, but it was designed to be really easy to just pick up and play...

My comments might have sounded like I was anti-VTT. Obviously, as someone who just released a VTT, I'm not. =) I think roleplaying can be done online, and in a lot of cases, better than real life. I just disagree with the idea that the Stack-o-Books style of gaming will ever be a good fit for...

Since the topic has mostly turned to VTTs, I thought I would chime in, since I've considered all these issues while designing the Fabletop app. The biggest issue, IMO, is that the most popular systems are all designed for face-to-face play. Even with all the fancy new tech out there, the...

I've been working on a web-based virtual tabletop, and it's finally in open Beta. Fabletop has everything built-in, including a simple ruleset (d6 dice pools) for casual, freeform gaming. When you register, you get your own "table" page, where you can GM games any time. Fabletop.com I'd...

The size of the viewport is fixed, but the battlemat can be increased by about 30%. Rather than have a huge scrolling map, it's more of a scene-based approach, like you would use with limited table space in real life. Despite having "tabletop" in the name, it was actually designed so that the...

The main answer is that there are no published systems that are specifically designed for online play. No matter how hard we try to push the tabletop metaphor, computers and live play are very different beasts. So instead of being a "utility for moving your live game online", it's more of an...

Hi folks, I've been working on a 100% web-based VTT for the past few months, and wanted to share a preview video of it for some early feedback. YouTube - Tabletop Quest - Preview The Jist Unlike other VTTs, which are used to play published tabletop games, TQ uses a single built-in ruleset...

For anyone still tracking this, Tabletop Quest is still in active development. As usual, things always take longer than expected. =) I hope to have a playable Beta out pretty soon, though. Please sign up on the website if you're interested in checking it out early. Thanks!

Based on your example, it sounds a lot like Mousemate. =) YouTube - Mousemate _______________ Tabletop Quest - 100% Web-Based VTT
