In their own words
D20PRO
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.
