Are there FOSS alternatives to Roll20?
I did a little googling and spotted Foundry Virtual Tabletop, but I haven’t been able to explore many alternatives yet. Which ones are good?
The old version of Owlbear Rodeo is open source now https://github.com/owlbear-rodeo/owlbear-rodeo-legacy but no longer supported.
@Shkshkshk @dnd Foundry is good, i like it and use it, but it’s not FOSS at all.
it’s not FOSS at all.
Foundry’s core is not, but other parts of it are FOSS.
For example: https://github.com/foundryvtt/dnd5e
PlanarAlly has been fantastic for my group so far!
@Shkshkshk @dnd Foundry is great, the feats are marvellous but the learning curve is steep in the beginning (loads of youtube videos explaining how to get ready if you are curious). Bright side is you only pay once and all the updates are included
It’s also self-hosted, which is great. You’re not beholden to yet another cloud service. The other players of your group just connect to your server with their web browsers, so no extra licensing required for them.
If you don’t want to, or can’t self-host, there is The Forge, which offers a hosted Foundry service, but I don’t know what the costs are as I’ve never used it.
@Shkshkshk@dice.camp @dnd@lemmy.world cauldron vtt is good
