In their own words
Alchemy RPG
Alchemy RPG is a virtual tabletop for running story-driven tabletop roleplaying games. Its scenes bring game mechanics together with music, animated environments, and overlays to support cinematic play. The Free Unlimited plan costs nothing and includes unlimited games, characters, universes, voice and video chat, and asset uploads, plus every game system and a homebrew system builder. Alchemy identifies gamemasters, players, and creators as its audience. Desktop apps are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux; the requirements are Windows 10 or later, macOS Monterey 12.0 or later, or Linux such as Ubuntu 22.04 or newer. A stable internet connection is required. The web app runs in browsers on computers, tablets, and mobile devices, though tablet and mobile use is not yet optimized. D&D Beyond character import is available to Alchemy Unlimited subscribers. Marketplace purchases are intended for download and use both within and outside Alchemy.
