In their own words
Mythic Table
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.
