In their own words
Let's Role
Let’s Role is an online virtual tabletop for playing role-playing games, with tools for players, game masters and people building game systems. Listed systems include Dungeons & Dragons, Vampire, Call of Cthulhu, Pathfinder, Cyberpunk Red and Shadowrun. Play tools include dice, journals, maps, music, a sound board, emotional safety tools, a PDF library and a media manager. Maps can use dynamic lighting, video backgrounds and phased layouts, and synchronized music can play songs available on YouTube. Game-system creators can assemble systems with interface components and use JavaScript for advanced functions. The Android and iOS apps sync with the desktop version and support real-time dice rolls connected to tables. Browser access requires an up-to-date version of Google Chrome or Firefox. The free Basic plan includes all features and 125MB of storage, with ads in the mobile app. Paid plans provide more storage and remove mobile ads; listed capacities are 500MB, 6GB and 15GB. The site directs users to its Help Center and Discord community for assistance.
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.
