roll20-character-sheets VS fari-app

There are other options: https://roll20.net/

I've used roll20.net up until now. They have a find group feature and a virtual table top with character sheets and dice roller included, so everything you need to play virtually is all on the one site.

We use Roll20 to play remote.

1 Year Roll20 Pro Subscription ($109 value!) – use it yourself or give it to your GM!

There are plenty of D&D software programs out there that are free and paid versions. Many of them with the ability to have friends join and interact with the table. As basic as Tabletop Simulator to Fantasy Grounds (both on steam that I have experience with, not an endorsement). roll20.net being a popular browser based version.

i have made a character on roll20.net that maybe border line iffy/OP, so i may have to make one that's not. my free time can be a bit unusual at times(it's 12:24AM as i write this)so someone who has similar free times as i do(if your interested let me know and we can talk times), basicly I've been listening to a DnD podcast and i think it sounds fun and i want to try it out edit: I'm in PST timezone in saskachewan so i don't have daylight savings time

I've done it. They have a GitLab project were you can submit sheets. I submitted one for Alternity's 2018 remake because no-one else had done it.

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.
