I've been working on a vtt for DND5E for the past couple of years. You can text/video chat, create characters, maps and all of the essentials! Please take a look!

If you really like what I am doing, I have a twitter account and a patreon account. Thanks!



I just tried it out and it was really hard to get started. I couldn't figure out how to edit a game board and there was really little guidance around what to do, like a step 1, step 2, step 3. I had no idea what an "Encounter" sized board was, for example.

And the icon buttons were hard to use. I had to hover over them to see what they did and it wasn't easy. Maybe use a tooltip library for those (like tippy.js) or just have the text next to the icons — this would be much more usable.

Also, a quick getting started video overview would be awesome. I wasn't sure how to edit a board or see it in perspective.

I really like the general interface and feel of it thought. Felt old school and like it's own little world. I was also impressed that you have video and audio chat built in — really, really cool. I hope it gets easier to use, because I think I'd want to try it more!


Thanks for the feedback!


This looks great. I love the font! A 2 minute screencast overview video showing the interface would go a long way to making me want to sign up.

I do have two older videos if you are interested!


Yeah, I love these! Definitely made me want to give it a try! Maybe embed them both the home page somewhere?


Thank you! I will be working on an introductory video soon :)
