Virtual TTRPG

Campfire Write is organized into modules, each one offering a different type of story element you can create. From creating  characters being NPC or main, items that can be added to them, backstories or even world history. All of this, and more can all be easily linked plus tracked at all times in your account. This is a pretty sweet site set up that can be used for free or can have monthly subscriptions to additional pre-created or additional functions to make your campaign increasingly easy to play.

Foundry Virtual Tabletop is a super customizable web-based software that gives you access to almost everything you need to create and run a TTRPG game. You can easily import maps that you create as JPEGs and it’ll layer a usable grid over the top so players can move their characters around during combat or judge the time of travel over long distances. One of the best features is the ability to layer music on top of each other, so you can mix an atmospheric track with an actual musical track. Foundry also has an active community that imports rule systems and templates for many TTRPGs including D&D. There are also some crossover features with D&D Beyond! To be able to use Foundry, you will have to purchase it, which is a one-time payment of $50. The key best feature with Foundry, is that none of your players have to pay to use it.

NPC For Hire is a story driven aid for GMs that allows you to generate, build, and manage NPCs paired with beautiful hand drawn portraits. GMs will be able to spin up a story that is not only compelling, but will immerse players in a fantasy world with ease.

NPC For Hire includes 58 beautiful human portraits that you can use in your campaigns for free. Additional portraits (including other races) can be purchased to diversify the NPCs that your players come in contact with.

Role is another virtual platform that is similar like you have with Roll 20, and Foundry. But you create tables where you can go live or private that allows you to create simple Character sheets, and upload assets to your tables which makes things easy for a GM to manage. You can even live mic & webcam chat with your group that is within your table making it easier versus using a secondary program. Role is a web based platform that can be accessed either through desktop or your tablet for gameplay. Currently free, was backed through Kickstarter, and is still in early access. 

Roll20 is arguably the most popular virtual tabletop software out there, and for good reason: it’s relatively easy to use and it’s free (sort of). It is a web-based platform so you don’t have to download anything (even as the GM). It is also incredibly customizable and has built-in tools to easily run most TTRPGs. Roll20 has rulesets for all kinds of games, including DND, Pathfinder and Call of Cthulhu.

Roll 20 is free, but you can get additional content for your adventures in the marketplace. Plus you can also choose their subscription plan $5-$10 a month where you are able to get access to extra features like  larger upload storage and custom character sheets. Overall personally you can do a lot with just using the free features if it's your first time.
