The Future of Tabletop Gaming is Here

Written by Sean Schnell | Sep 1, 2025 11:45:04 PM

Let’s face it—most virtual tabletops out there are stuck in the past. Clunky interfaces, laggy gameplay, frustrating setups, and a serious lack of innovation have left gamers waiting for something better for far too long. That’s exactly why we created Realm VTT. We wanted to build a platform that actually works the way you want it to—smooth, modern, and focused on what really matters: the game.

Realm VTT is designed for Game Masters and players who are tired of wrestling with outdated tech and just want to jump into their campaigns and have fun. From an integrated, 3D Dice Roller right in the chat and character sheets to dynamic lighting and Fog of War that bring your maps to life, every feature is built to enhance immersion and keep things moving.

We support the latest D&D 5e rules—with free SRD content—and if you want to play something unique, you can fully customize your own ruleset. We're working hard to bring other licensed content to the platform. In the meantime, we are offering independent publishers the ability to bring their own content to the platform without taking a platform fee for a limited time.

Realm VTT includes everything you need to run a smooth campaign: journals, combat trackers, calendars, macros, and a chat system that keeps everyone connected. Whether you prefer hex or square grids, Realm VTT is built to be intuitive, powerful, and accessible.

We couldn’t be more excited to share Realm VTT with this incredible community. We are continuing to add features and refine the user experience each and every day. If you have comments, feedback, or suggestions, we would love to use it. Please use the Contact form to submit anything you might have. 

You can join us on Discord for all the latest updates, or post on the Forum using your Realm VTT account.
