Susann

As a GM myself, I can say Louis operates at a level that genuinely inspires me. I have been plating with him for almost a year and outside of that I love "talking shop" with him. We brainstorm campaign ideas and story beats together and when we do his passion for involved character-driven stories always comes through. He thinks in arcs, in consequences, and in the kind of slow-burning revelations that make players talk about a session for weeks. A rare find on SPG.

Tompson is a great GM. There are so many things I enjoy about the sessions. He gives his NPCs depth and you can really tell how much he cares about the world he build around what the players do. He runs a great combat, the monsters are run very authentically and smoothly. There's no messing around, just moving the action along to keep the pace. He does a fantastically narrated recap that brings everyone on the same page before a session.

I had an amazing time playing as Markus just trying to keep Nashville safe from supernatural chaos while wearing a cool Hawaiian shirt! As someone coming in fresh into FATE system and also the Dresden files, I was very happy how patient Briggs was teaching everyone the mechanics. The Nashville setting is fun and atmospheric and the Briggs brought it to life in a rich and immersive way. By the end of the session I felt fully comfortable with FATE. I would 100% recommend him!

Owlbear Rodeo is my VTT of choice for Nimble RPG, and really for any system outside of D&D. It's simple and clean. Importing tokens and maps is straightforward and the free tier is surprisingly generous for what you get. The extensions add useful functionality without cluttering the core experience, it gives you access to simple character sheets, advanced fog of war, etc. Whether you're GMing or playing, I would highly recommend for any group that wants a lightweight, system-agnostic VTT.

I’ve run long-term campaigns, mini campaigns, and one-shots on D&D Beyond Maps as a GM, and played in one-shots as a player. It’s the best VTT for D&D, full stop. The integration with character sheets is seamless and you see everyone’s dice rolls live across the map. For GMs, the initiative and combat tracker make combat fast and easy. No bloat, no learning curve. New and experienced players will pick it up instantly. It does exactly what you need and nothing you don’t. 5/5 🌟 this is how a VTT should work.
