Bag of Mapping
Bag of Mapping is a virtual tabletop for map-based roleplaying games. It offers tools for finding and uploading map images, sizing them to or adding a grid, obscuring them with fog of war, and using them to build adventures or encounters that players can explore just by sharing a link. While users can create unlimited maps and tokens for free, only paid subscribers can save maps to their account without bookmarking the URL and claim tokens whose details transfer from map to map. Subscription features also include searchable character sheets, dynamic fog of war, access to a compendium of freely available monsters and NPCs, 3D rolling dice, and the ability to import characters from D&D Beyond. While the subscription fee is low, it's worth noting that in order to gain the benefits of a subscription, mainly having a persistent character sheet from map to map and being able to organize maps into a campaign, the game master and all the players must be subscribed to Bag of Mapping. As of now, Bag of Mapping has support for the free content from Dungeons & Dragons 5e, Pathfinder, and Blades in the Dark, as well as a few customization options for playing with other systems.
