# Foundry VTT — Virtual Tabletop for TTRPGs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Foundry Virtual Tabletop (VTT)** is a subscription-free virtual tabletop for playing tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and more. It provides maps, tokens, dice rolling, and real-time collaboration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Access
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Web UI:** <https://foundry.mynest.love>
|
||
|
|
- **Internal (home network):** <http://foundry-vtt.k3s.home.nest:30000>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Features
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Interactive maps with fog of war and dynamic lighting
|
||
|
|
- Token movement and combat tracking
|
||
|
|
- Dice rolling with chat integration
|
||
|
|
- Module and system support for multiple TTRPG rulesets
|
||
|
|
- Real-time collaboration — multiple players join the same session
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Getting Started
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Open <https://foundry.mynest.love> in your browser.
|
||
|
|
2. Click **Sign In** and choose **Sign in with The Nest**.
|
||
|
|
3. If this is your first time, you'll be prompted to create a world or join an existing one.
|
||
|
|
4. Share the session link with your players.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How It Works
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Foundry VTT runs as a single-instance server in The Nest. All players connect via WebSocket to the same game world. No separate client software is required — everything runs in the browser.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Tips
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Worlds:** Each "world" is a separate campaign. Create one per group or setting.
|
||
|
|
- **Modules:** Install modules for additional rulesets, maps, and tools. Admin-managed module library may be available.
|
||
|
|
- **Performance:** Foundry VTT is CPU-intensive. If you experience lag, try reducing map detail or closing other browser tabs.
|
||
|
|
- **Mobile players:** Players can join from phones or tablets via the web UI — no app required.
