D20PRO vs Rolisteam

D20PRO is a multiplayer virtual tabletop for role-playing games, with automated play tools and controls that leave the Game Master able to approve or delay actions, adjust rules, and create scripts. It supports D&D 5E, 3.5 and 4th Edition, Pathfinder, and Starfinder, and can be extended to other systems. Combat automation covers attacks, damage, ongoing effects, initiative, movement, saving throws, checks, and area effects. Maps support fog of war, hidden areas, distance and line-of-sight measurement, map libraries, and drawing from images. Game Masters can share private notes and files as handouts. It supports online sessions and in-person play without internet, and imports information from Hero Lab and PC Gen. A free Guest License lets a player join when the host has an open guest seat. The Player License is $10 as a one-time purchase; the GM License is $42 as a one-time purchase. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Rolisteam is a virtual table for tabletop role-playing sessions, available on Linux, macOS, Windows, and self-hosted setups. Its chat provides global, direct, and extra channels, with dice commands and clickable links. Mind maps connect notes with nodes, images, packages, and tags. Users can create interactive, multi-page character sheets on PDF backgrounds, adding fields, buttons, formulas, or JavaScript. Three independent audio players handle ambient music, effects, and background tracks, but they play referenced files or URLs rather than streaming audio. The PDF viewer can crop page content to the clipboard for sharing or placement on maps and mind maps. DiceParser uses the same commands in Rolisteam and its Discord bot. Three-dimensional dice are a technical preview supporting d4 through d100 denominations. Rolisteam is free and open source under GNU GPL v2.0. Roliserver can host multiple games on one computer.
