Roll20 is the most widely used browser based virtual tabletop in the world, launched in 2012 following a successful Kickstarter campaign. Developed by Riley Miller, Nolan T. Jones, and Richard Zayas, it was designed to break down the barriers to tabletop gaming by requiring zero installation and offering a robust free to play tier. It remains the industry leader in total user base, hosting millions of games across nearly every imaginable tabletop system. Description Roll20 is the "everyman" of virtual tabletops, prioritizing accessibility and ease of use. Because it runs entirely in the cloud, players and Game Masters can start a session in seconds from any modern web browser. It features an integrated marketplace where users can purchase official rulebooks, adventures, and art packs that integrate directly into their campaigns. While it offers advanced features like dynamic lighting, its primary appeal is its massive community and the simplicity of its "pick up and play" nature. System Overview & Key Features No Installation Required Unlike many of its competitors, Roll20 requires no software downloads or server configuration. The Game Master simply creates a room on the website and shares a link. This makes it the ideal choice for groups with varying levels of technical expertise. Integrated Character Sheets Roll20 features thousands of community and official character sheets that handle the math for you. Clicking an attribute or a weapon on your sheet automatically sends the roll to the chat window, applying modifiers and calculating critical hits instantly. The Roll20 Marketplace The platform boasts the largest digital storefront in the industry. You can buy modules for D&D, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, and more, which come pre loaded with maps, tokens, and journals, drastically reducing a Game Master's preparation time. Dynamic Lighting and Layering Subscribers gain access to a powerful lighting system that restricts what players can see based on their character's line of sight. The Game Master can easily manage different layers for maps, tokens, and hidden notes that only they can see. Built in Video and Voice Roll20 includes its own integrated WebRTC video and voice chat system, allowing groups to see and hear each other without needing to run third party software like Discord alongside their game window. Jumpgate Technology Introduced in 2024 and 2025, the "Jumpgate" update overhauled the core engine to provide a much smoother, high performance experience. It improved frame rates, reduced loading times, and modernized the interface to compete with newer, hardware accelerated platforms.

TomeVTT is a browser-based virtual tabletop for running tabletop role-playing games online or at a physical table. Game masters build campaigns with maps, tokens, encounters, NPCs, items, and a storybook of adventures, and players join from a laptop, tablet, or phone.  Everything syncs in real time across devices, including a player-facing table view and a dice tray with physics-based 3D dice. It supports both D&D 5e editions and Pathfinder 2e, with the SRD rules built in, and an Obsidian plugin pushes your notes straight into a running campaign.  It runs as a hosted web app with free, Basic, and Premium plans, plus a desktop installer and a cosmetics store.

Aethera VTT is a browser-based virtual tabletop for game masters and groups playing tabletop role-playing games online. Hosts create campaigns, upload maps, place tokens, and invite players with a link. No separate tabletop application, browser plugin, or server setup is required. Scenes bring together still or animated maps, grids, walls, dynamic lighting, and fog of war. GMs can organize actors, items, and journals, keep notes private, and choose what players can see or control. During an encounter, the tabletop provides token movement, distance measurement, initiative, conditions, and shared dice rolls in chat. Audio playlists and sound zones add atmosphere, with Aethera Voice available for linked live voice. The tabletop is system-agnostic by design. Its system manifests define actor and item types, character-sheet templates, and roll formulas; systems and sheet modules are managed within the application. Hosting starts on a free plan with full campaigns and invitations, 2 GB of asset storage, and a 40 MB limit per file. Players join using their own free Aethera accounts and do not need a paid plan. Optional paid host plans provide more storage, larger uploads, and advanced configuration. A public demo can be explored without signing in. The product website includes a player quickstart, GM guides, map requirements, and plan details, so groups can try the workflow and check its limits before moving a campaign.

Pathfinder is a heroic fantasy roleplaying game system with a high amount of character customization and progression, published by Paizo in 2009. It was developed as a response to Wizards of the Coast transitioning the D&D genre to D&D 4th Edition, which was seen as a strong deviation from the math-heavy norm from 3.5E. Pathfinder was built using the Open Game License (OGL) to revise and expand upon the beloved 3.5 ruleset.  The system it directly evolved from is Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 Edition The second edition of the game was released in 2019 as Pathfinder 2nd Edition Description Pathfinder 1e is well known for its "crunch". It relies heavily on strict rules, mechanical variation and math. The system is perfect for players who prefer heavy character optimization and customization, focus on tactical combat encounters and a strong ruleset for almost any situation. Pathfinder is proud of it's complexity and very much focuses on it. Boasting a massive library of  spells, classes, and feats, allows the players to build very mechanically different and unique characters. It is also renowned for its "Adventure Paths": epic, six-part published campaigns that take characters from level 1 to roughly level 20. System Overview & Key Features The d20 System & Action Economy Like 3.5E, the core engine runs on a d20 roll plus modifiers. On every turn the characters have a set structure to perform their actions. Mechanically separated into Standard, Move and Swift actions. Archetypes & Deep Customization Instead of relying on complicated "Prestige Classes," Pathfinder 1e popularized "Archetypes." These allow players to swap out base class features for heavily themed alternatives right from level 1. This enables the players an extensive levels of customization when combining with the thousands of available feats to further personalise their unique character concept. Base Attack Bonus (BAB) Martial prowess is measured by a Base Attack Bonus. As this number grows, martial classes can eventually achieve "iterative attacks," allowing them to attack with their weapons multiple times per their turns, although penalties apply for repeated attempts. Combat Maneuver Mechanics (CMB/CMD) The system introduced two systems to simplify actions like tripping, grappling or disarming your opponents: Combat Maneuver Bonus and Combat Maneuver Defense. This created a single, reliable formula to use when performing maneuvers against an enemy. Skill Ranks Instead of a single "Proficiency Bonus" like in modern games, players are given a pool of Skill Points at every level (determined by their class and Intelligence score) to manually distribute across a massive list of skills, allowing for highly granular non-combat abilities. Lethality and "Crunch" As characters level up, the numbers grow exponentially. This means, that by reaching higher levels of encounters, characters and their opponents are dealing huge amounts of damage, alongside with various magical buffs and spells that could instantly kill a character. Planning and tracking situational modifiers and buffs becomes vital for survival.

Red is a generic role-playing game system designed to bring your creativity to life across a variety of settings and genres. With mechanics adapted from Wretched, Red is easy to pick up for those already familiar with our games, yet distinct in its approach, breaking free from the anti-heroic roots of its predecessor. Red invites you to explore a broader spectrum of characters—heroes, villains, or somewhere in between.  Unlike Wretched, it exists outside the Wretchedverse continuity, leaving the aesthetic and narrative choices in the hands of players and Game Masters to build their unique worlds. The system retains enough compatibility to integrate with existing OSR materials, while simplifying rules for faster, deadlier combat and more versatile character progression.
