Tome Gaming

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.

A guided adventure creation where you can simply describe your imagination and ask to get things done. Create your next Stories, Scenes, Maps, NPCs, and Pre-gens.

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.
