Hey everyone! We're excited to launch the Patreon for Realm VTT and invite you to support the future of virtual tabletops.
I started development on Realm a few years ago with the belief that VTTs could be better. I envisioned an online, ad-free experience with basic modern features like dynamic lighting and fog of war that aren't hidden behind a baseless paywall. Instant access to premium features and a smooth gameplay experience as soon as you log in on your browser, without the need to download a dozen modules or spend an entire session troubleshooting.
Some of the features included absolutely free are:
-
Integrated 3D dice rolling
-
Dynamic lighting that responds to token movement
-
Fog of war that reveals naturally as players explore
-
Immersive animations
-
Combat tracking
-
Custom ruleset editor (along with support for D&D 5e 2024 SRD)
-
Built-in token creator
-
Many more that I don't have room to list (lol)
Building Realm has been a labor of love. But the reality is - I'm just one guy, and up until this point I have built and self-funded the development of Realm from scratch. As you can imagine, building a platform to compete with the current corporate funded and VC-backed VTT landscape is not easy for one person.
Your Patreon support directly funds continued development. Every new feature, performance improvement, and bug fix is made possible by the community. Patrons get access to an exclusive Discord channel where you can connect with other supporters, or make priority feature requests and bug reports. Your feedback shapes what we build next and makes it possible to keep ads off of Realm.
