I have a heavily house rules PF campaign, and I want to be able to create my own character sheets, and possibly other sheets such as for settlements, kingdoms, army units, etc, and automate as much calculations as possible. I have a background in programming and am familiar with HTML and JavaScript.I've tried the following so far:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Roll20: This is what my group is currently using. The HTML and CSS are easy customize the look, and the auto-calc does 99% of what I need it to do and generally easy to figure out. Reason why we want to switch is Roll20's performance: poor map navigation and very limited layers, dynamic lighting is a huge resource hog, unstable voice-audio connection.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Foundry: Great: basically everything is customizable, and anything we could every want could be coded. Bad: I need to be a full-time professional JS dev to do what I need. Knowledge and experience I can get eventually, but I just don't have the time available to write hundreds of pages of JS code. And the code behind Foundry is way too complex for me. I tried modding the PF1 system that the community created, and I keep ending up breaking the whole thing.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Astral: I only just started looking at this one, but so far map performance is really smooth with my large world map, and custom sheet creation is easy: it's as close as WYSIWYG thus far, and creating stats and formulas is pretty straightforward. Downside: correct me if I'm wrong about this one, but there is no way to create a central sheet, right? I can make a template sheet and have my players copy it, but if I later make a change to the template, every sheet from before has to be individually and manually updated; this is a huge hassle I don't want to deal with.</li> </ul>I'd love to hear what other VTTs are out there that perform great especially with large maps and lighting, easy to customize and update, and any other fancy features. Thanks!</blockquote>
