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

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.
  • Keycloak — Handles authentication for Foundry VTT
