Welcome to RPG Virtual Tabletop, the VTT wiki, the place to find out all you need to know about playing Pen&Paper/Tabletop RPGs in an online virtual environment. If you want to help keep this updated, see To do-list for more on how to get started.
The Virtual Tabletop(VTT) software discussed in these pages are not RPGs in themselves - however, they allow RPGs to be played between friends, located all over the globe.
VTT packages tend to have the following features:
Maps and Images
Maps and or images can be shared by the GM and players, tokens can be moved around the map and "fog of war" may be available.
Dice
This can be as complex as rolling solid-looking dice on the Virtual Tabletop or as simple as entering text into the chat window.
There are numerous VTs described on this site: some concentrate on specific rules systems, others are completely "ruleset agnostic". Most focus on maps and tactical combat, to varying degrees. The commercial VTs usually offer some form of demo, so you can try before you buy! You will also find links to free maps, tokens and adventures to help your way into the world of Virtual Tabletop play.
Chat Window
Where the roleplaying takes place. Usually differentiates between Player chat, OOC chat and emotes.
