About Gothic Virtual Tabletop
Gothic Virtual Tabletop is a virtual tabletop application that can be customized to support most TTRPG systems, including wargames.
When you select a token, a state-of-the-art Hotbar appears at the bottom of the screen. The Hotbar displays all the information a player or GM cares about in one compact space, making GM-ing large combats or managing multiple playable characters a breeze. Gone are the days of dozens of tabs worth of stat blocks cluttering your monitor!
Default Character Sheet values and macros, as well as compendium weapons, armour, spells, and tables are defined in .json files and stored independently on a per-campaign basis. Easily customize Gothic Virtual Tabletop to suit each and every one of your needs.
Define weapons, armour, abilities, spells, and rollable tables present in your system of choice and easily add them to a token at the press of a button.
Browse your campaign's music library and add queue up the perfect songs for the occasion!
Okay, there is one loading screen that appears when a player first connects to the server and downloads assets. After that, you're free to game in peace.

GREAT VTT its easy to use and quick to set up maps and tokens, just drag your map image in and scale the grid to it and tokens automatically scale to size. most make you pay for less functionality, in a free package that gives you everything you need to run a campaign only two notes i have are that the players should be able to just roll dice in the VTT and that names on tokens should scale with zoom, on some of my smaller maps the longer names just look too big when selected EDIT: the Dev and GOAT mr.wallaby added me on steam to ask for more details and he fixed the issue i had with name scaling and pushed an update out8 found this helpful
A excelltant and easy to use tool to create an tabletop game in any system, once you know how it works1 found this helpful
This is such an awesome VTT! I have wanted a tool exactly like this for a long time. Its easy to use and invite people to a campaign. My only real complaint is that it's not very intuitive for a new user to figure out how to roll dice. Doing it in the chat is very flexible, but adding a GUI button players could press to select common dice rolls (and the amount of them rolled) would be very helpful! I cant wait to homebrew some EZD6 campaigns!1 found this helpful
Gothic Virtual Tabletop is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this software. Instead of being a game, Gothic Virtual Tabletop is a software application that This is a poorly made failed attempt to fill the niche that better, professionally developed apps like Roll20 already do better. So yeah, it's no wonder this was a dismal failure... SteamDB shows this only had a peak user count of 11 users, and that only happened once. For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game. Tetris, for example, has a game loop where a random block appears, the gamer interacts with the block to position it, and then the game decides if that finishes a row or not, increases the players score if any rows were completed, then gives the gamer another block to position. Counter-Strike has a game loop where a player seeks another player, tests their skill against that player by shooting them or being shot, the computer rewards the player if they win, and then if the player survives, they repeat that loop. There's no loop here, no true interacti…
This VTT works. The interface takes a minute to come to grips with, but once you do, you'll discover that, behind the facade of simple UI elements is a flexible, powerful set of tools for running your online TTRPG of choice. Gothic is my VTT of choice, beating out several pieces of software I paid good money for. It is my go-to solution, I highly recommend it, all my players use it, and it tops my list of suggested solutions when I'm asked by other DMs how to handle virtual play. The only criticism I would offer (and it is possible that I just haven't figured out how to do what I want properly) is that the Fog of War feature is somewhat clunky. It seems I can only block out right angle quadrilaterals, which isn't ideal for every map.
Nice
