Are there FOSS alternatives to Roll20?

@dnd

I did a little googling and spotted Foundry Virtual Tabletop, but I haven't been able to explore many alternatives yet. Which ones are good?

@Shkshkshk @dnd Foundry is great, the feats are marvellous but the learning curve is steep in the beginning (loads of youtube videos explaining how to get ready if you are curious). Bright side is you only pay once and all the updates are included

It's also self-hosted, which is great. You're not beholden to yet another cloud service. The other players of your group just connect to your server with their web browsers, so no extra licensing required for them.

If you don't want to, or can't self-host, there is The Forge, which offers a hosted Foundry service, but I don't know what the costs are as I've never used it.

IIRC the forge is like $15/month or something, which makes sense since I pay around that for my server on AWS, and I turn it off when it's not in use.
