Virtual tabletop software gives your group a shared space to run role-playing sessions and manage the materials around them. Compare campaign tools and rules compendiums against the systems and session routines you use; API access may matter if you want room to connect or customize tools. Player limits, video and audio, and mobile apps help you check how well a platform fits the way your group plays. Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds are the first entries, with Quest Portal and Alchemy RPG also near the top. Free-plan availability and paid starting prices round out the practical considerations when choosing what fits your campaign.
