With support for D&D, 3D&T, GURPS, Pathfinder and others, the tool has a large community where you can find rooms with your favorite systems.
The Foundry VTT platform is one of the most complete on the market today, taking players into great immersion in their adventures. However, the platform launched in 2019 is paid, with no free version like the others, priced at US$ 50 for lifetime subscription. With great features and easy gameplay, the system generates an online table where the game master will host the game, sharing the access link with players.
Astral
With an incredible visual design, perhaps the best among all platforms, Astral provides an amazing experience to players due to its numerous features. Furthermore, the application supports various systems such as Call of Cthulhu, Vampire The Masquerade, Pathfinder, Fantasy Age, Forbidden Lands, among others. However, the platform doesn't have a license for Dungeons & Dragons, which is its weak point.
One of the most complete on the market, Fantasy Grounds is one of the most used applications worldwide, since it supports many games. The platform supports D&D Classic, D&D, Pathfinder, Vampire and other systems. Besides that, we find great resources here with thousands of images, maps, character sheets and other supplies for your favorite RPG. However, its free version is only a demo, where you don't have access to all features.
