Rolisteam
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.
