LandOfTheRair VS fari-app

I got pretty far with a 20$ server: https://github.com/LandOfTheRair/LandOfTheRair/

You'll probably want to use a canvas for anything visual, but you can certainly do a lot with angular. My game renders a map, player, and monsters with phaser (canvas/webgl) and everything else is done with angular. Visual example

While they're not very popular, I have been making one. My end goal will be desktop apps with electron, or you can play in the browser if needed.

It's not open world, but I've been working on what I'd like one day to be an MMO.

https://rair.land (disclaimer: I'm making it) is an open source MMO.

You're welcome. If you're looking for more implementation ideas, I have it here. Basically, on version it'll do everything, generate a changelog and a current changelog (I use this to publish only the most recent set of changes in a github release), commit the changelog, and then a script to untag and retag the current version to include the changelog.

Nothing fancy, just a lot of overrides (and some more here). Just a bunch of small changes that eventually became somewhat cohesive. The easiest things you can change to affect material:

If all you need is a character sheet with some automation, Fari is great, has a varied collection of games and you can build one of your own with a drag & drop GUI. I think Role and OMM have some free options and you could build a character sheet with automation without coding in them.

I don't know if you're aware of Fari, it's an other open source vtt (Github link). Might be worth a look to see if there's something that could help you out with items on your roadmap, it also used to use PeerJs (not anymore).

Platform - Discord (voice), Fari.App (VTT).

Fari

Yes, I maintain the Fari Community Discord servers with around 1000 people in it to talk about the free VTT Fari App, the free resource website Fari Community, and all things TTRPG. I also have a blog/newsletter where I share insights about game design, and the latest news about my projects, which has more than 500 subs.

https://fari.app/ is pretty awesome to create character sheets, but I don't know how well it works on mobile.

I know you mentioned maps, but I also know that a lot of those indie games are based around Theatre of the Mind play, and if you're looking for a VTT that doesn't bother with a map, you've got a few options. I'd consider fari.app, which is an ultra-light web-based system that has chat, dice rolls, a simple whiteboard, character sheet builder, etc. A step up from that would be Role which is much fancier, and has built in video chat.

Fari is criminally underrated, and among its goodies there's a decent whiteboard. (Though you seem to be a power user in this regard, so it may fall short of your expectations.)

Wow, never heard about fari.app before. It's awesome! Thanks for sharing. I only wish it had some way of storing the data in a local format because it all disappears after a browser cache reset.
