fari-app VS blades-in-the-dark-srd-content

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.

I already found the basic rules from the website as markdown files which are really helpful.

Certainly looks that way. Luckily, the SRD can also be found in other places.

In the meantime, if you're looking for something in the SRD the full text of it can be found here as a simple text file: https://github.com/amazingrando/blades-in-the-dark-srd-content/blob/main/Blades-in-the-Dark-SRD.md

I don't have any recommendations but I do want to point you to the Blades SRD in Markdown format, just in case you weren't aware of it. https://github.com/amazingrando/blades-in-the-dark-srd-content.
