MapTool RPTools

MapTool is a Virtual Tabletop (VTT) designed to enhance roleplaying games by providing a digital environment for map creation, gameplay, and remote collaboration. It replaces traditional tools like pens, paper, battle mats, and dice with a flexible, open-source platform that supports both online and face-to-face gaming.

Key Features:

• Powerful Map Creation: Create detailed maps with advanced topology tools to limit player visibility, simulate fog of war, and control how the map is revealed during gameplay.
• Dynamic Lighting & Vision: Implement dynamic lighting effects and vision mechanics to add immersion, such as darkness, glowing lights, and restricted line-of-sight based on token positions.
• Scripting Language: Use MapTool’s scripting language to automate game mechanics, create custom interactions, or share user-generated content with the community.
• Game System Agnostic: While supporting specific game systems through optional frameworks, MapTool remains versatile for any tabletop RPG.
• Macro Facility: Automate repetitive tasks and enhance gameplay with macros, which can be shared or adapted from the community.
• Integrated Server Functionality: Host games locally or connect players worldwide via an internet connection without relying on external servers or subscriptions.

Audience & Benefit: Ideal for Game Masters (GMs) and players who seek a flexible, customizable VTT to streamline gameplay, save time, and enhance creativity. MapTool enables immersive storytelling, dynamic encounters, and seamless collaboration, whether your group is gathered in person or spread across the globe.

MapTool can be installed via winget, ensuring easy setup for users. With its open-source nature and active community support, MapTool remains a reliable and ever-evolving tool for tabletop RPG enthusiasts.
