RPG Virtual Tabletop
|
Welcome to RPG Virtual Tabletop, the place to find out
all you need to know about playing Pen and Paper RPGs
in an online virtual environment.
The Virtual Tabletop software discussed in these pages
are not RPGs in themselves - however, they allow RPGs to
be played between friends, located all over the globe.
The VT packages tend to have the following features:
Maps and Images
Maps and or images can be shared
by the GM and players, tokens can
be moved around the map and "fog
of war" may be available.
Chat Window
Where the roleplaying takes place.
Usually differentiates between Player
chat, OOC chat and emotes.
Dice
This can be as complex as rolling solid-looking dice on the
Virtual Tabletop or as simple as entering text into the chat
window.
There are numerous VTs described on this site: some
concentrate on specific rules systems, others are
completely "ruleset agnostic". Most focus on maps and
tactical combat, to varying degrees. The commercial VTs
usually offer some form of demo, so you can try before you
buy! You will also find links to free maps, tokens and
adventures to help your way into the world of Virtual
Tabletop play.
