I’m in a group with a few tinkerers, myself included. If we actually play something out of the box rules as written, VTTs are pretty decent. I’d I want to do something that isn’t, it tends to be a slog.

I picked up foundry and have a subscription on foundry server now, as I was recommended a module that allows some halfway decent”make your own”, but as far as I can tell, it hasn’t been updated to V14 so I can’t use it.

I wish that VTTs in general had better support for things like “change the name of this stat” or “add a button that lets me roll a 2d20 effect die” and the like, but I guess that ain’t where the demand or the money are. And I haven’t done any reasonable amount of coding since like python 2.7.

Is there a VTT that has anything close to that kind of non-code editing? Based on my very limited experience in the software world, I would think that it isn’t necessarily a technical challenge but would be a fair amount of labor if you didn’t build it that way from the start.

Otherwise, since I have way too much free time, what book should I start reading so I can learn to do it myself? You should see how good I am already at putting things in parentheses and brackets.

I have recently very much got into Solo RPG and Dungeon crawls, namely 2D6 dungeon, Ker Nethalas and Salvage and Sorcery, and I would like a way to take these solo games with me more easily! So my first thought was some sort of VTT!

So could you guys point me in the right direction?

I would like it to be free ideally or cheap as I'm not even sure if this will be a permanent part of my playing! So Foundry is kinda off the table as I think $50 is extreme!

I would like either pre written stuff for Ker Nethalas baked in or an easy way to make my own stuff, ideally character sheets, dice roller, maybe even table references, combat trackers etc ( I am not a coder so simple to use and modify is preferable)

Also being able to use it mobile would be ideal, on a tablet not necessarily a phone but I will primarily be using a tablet and pen and paper!

I know it sounds like a lot hence why I am asking for guidance, I know I am unlikely to get everything I want but somewhere to start would be great! Thank you

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on after getting frustrated with the card experience in Foundry. I wanted to play a game called Perfect Draw, but none of the existing card modules for Foundry could handle it, so I built my own: Blob’s Card Engine.

It’s a full program for playing cards right inside Foundry. You can play poker, Go Fish, Tarot, Texas Hold’em, and more. It’s also a card builder engine, so you can design and play pretty much any card game you can think of.

Current game support:

• Pathfinder
• D&D
• Perfect Draw
• His Majesty the Worm
• Lancer (a card combat helper for beginners learning the game)

I’ve spent several months building and polishing this, and I’ll keep adding support for more games. If there’s one you want, let me know and I’ll add it to the list.

It’s on sale right now for $9.99.
