Personally I’m running Foundry and have been meaning to spin up Owlbear 1.0 now that it’s self hostable - but I feel like there’s more i could be doing. Is anyone aware of a self hostable character sheet/character builder? I suppose i could go next cloud for storing folders and files but I don’t think anyone would use it - what self hosted services are you using at your tables?
I wrote my own VTT. Does that count?
Foundry does it all including a character wizard for 5e
$50 for a perpetual license seems pretty damn reasonable.
Yeah, buying software one time and owning it forever. What an awesome idea, I really hope it catches on.
Yeah, Foundry and Dungeondraft are everything I need.
I run A Nextcloud instance for my group containing character sheets, maps, supplements, and PDFs of every RPG book I’ve been able to get my grubby little mitts on.
Do you do pdf editing in nextcloud?
I don’t, but it’s not a bad idea. Never thought about it.
Oh man, I wish I could get my grubby little hands on those books
Sorry bruh, I only accept people I know in meatspace. While some of the books came from ahoy-matey means, more of them came from legitimate sources and may have digital watermarks. It’s one thing to share a book with other players at my table, another entirely to publish it online for any rando.
Not really the topic, but why do you want to run owlbear alongside foundry? It seems like a slimmer alternative rather than something to use in conjunction.
To actually answer the title post I just run foundryvtt and I have a bunch of RPG manuals backed up in Nextcloud so I guess that too
Two reasons: Foundry has been feeling more and more bloated and still doesn’t work well on tablets or mobile, while Owlbear does; and Foundry doesn’t like to play nicely with cloudflare tunnels, and owlbear does from what I understand.
Do you run Foundry in Docker? Where does Foundry not play nice?
I’ve run Foundry + CloudFlared in Docker with 0 issues for some time.
Not hosted in the traditional sense but Obsidian.md makes a near perfect companion if you don’t want to put all of your content in Foundry. Check out Obsidian TTRPG Tutorials https://obsidianttrpgtutorials.com/
Oh huge fan of obsidian my ttrpg graph has like 10k notes. If it was FOSS and natively self hostable it would be perfect.
