Mythic Table vs Rolisteam

Mythic Table is an online virtual tabletop for tabletop role-playing games. It can be used through the maker’s hosted service or self-hosted, and the project is described as open source. Hosted access costs nothing, with all features available without subscriptions or paywalls. Listed map capabilities include square, hex, and gridless layouts, panning, zooming, layers, animation, line of sight, dynamic lighting, and multiple maps. Game tools cover character and monster data, inventory, modifiers, handouts, chat, dice rolling, activity tracking, and combat tools. Auto Resolution can approve actions and update game state while allowing game-master review, undo, redo, and editing. A customizable nested action menu supports uploaded icons, counters, progress bars, cooldown timers, and reusable tagged actions. Content organization, search, import, export, editing, moving, and copying are described, with some features planned. The FAQ calls the project a work in progress with missing features. Self-hosting is possible, although setup is not currently simple. Localization is important to the team but not fully implemented.

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.
