AboveVTT

We've been long time users after using FOundry and finding the networking clunky as all get out unless you pay for a server - so prepare for the bias of someone who wishes Foundry was as awesome as it can be (I still want it to be, really! It's a dream in theory :D ) First and foremost, this thing is truly free - no paygates or premium features - you get it all and it works straight away. No network settings oh and prep time is incredibly fast compared to Foundry One of the best things for someone who has run 5 campaigns on it is that I can get a player up to speed in 15 minutes. Tops! (Hell, I've been able to get someone up to the basics in 5!) When you DM you don't want something that ADDS to your workload. The best reason to grab it? Picture this: Imagine someone say out of the blue, let's play DnD tonight and you have nothing prepped... Within 10 minutes you can have say 3 scenes ready to go from the FREE templates - oh they are all free. There's no paygate here, my awesome fellow DMS, they are ALL free. Want to use a map from an artist you bought a map from on Patreon? Easy peasy. Upload it to Dropbox and click then dropbox from the dropdown tfor the scene map - 60 seconds later you have a map. And yes, you can do that with spooky sounds and mood music but the Discord music bots are better for music ;) Oh and no more "your modules need to be updated" followed by a module creator who hasn't/won't update the Foundry module, which means you're staring at the screen thinking 'well damn, here goes another theatre of the mind session'. The downside is it's only for DnD but they advertise just that so it does what's on the package ;) Yes I became a fanboi - if foundry fixes itself I'll swap for big campaigns but nothing beats AboveVTT for the quick stuff and Foundry has a long way to go (without paying for a server) Hope that tale of AboveVTT helps just one DM :)

Absolutely fantastic VTT. Lightweight and user friendly!
