Hi all,

Sharing Dice Roost, a free browser-based virtual tabletop for running tabletop RPG sessions online. No installs, just open a link and play.

A few things that make it a bit different: • AI-voiced NPCs: give an NPC a personality and let it actually talk back to your players during a scene, instead of you improvising every voice • Shared map with tokens, dice roller, character sheets, and session chat, all in one place • Built to be lightweight, easy to get a new group into with no learning curve

Still actively growing it and happy to answer any questions.

    Okay, in the spirit of constructive criticism, here are some of my biggest problems with other VTTs:

    • I don’t like the Quest Portal uses AI.
    • I wish Foundry had better anti AI clauses for their community marketplace.
    • I think Roll 20 haven’t lived up to the (better) anti AI position they stated for their interim policy.

    I’m not making a joke.

    If you gutted the AI features from this project, I would very happily approach a “free as in beer” platform that has a special focus on bilingual accessibility. It’s clear though that this platform is fundamentally integrated with AI. Therefore, I don’t think it can ever address my biggest issues with other VTT platforms.

      I appreciate your constructive criticism, but as you admitted, the AI ​​features, while not mandatory (campaigns can be played entirely without them), are part of the site’s experience and are one of its defining features, so this experiment most likely isn’t for you. Thanks for sharing your opinion. :)
