ogre.tools is a virtual tabletop designed to help you run your Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition games. It runs in your browser and stores your data locally - no sign-ups required! It's currently in alpha which means there's probably bugs.

Keyboard & Mouse Shortcuts

• S, R, 1, 2, 3, and 4 change your drawing modes.
• P while the player window is active will pause updates.

Player Window

The player window is a pop-out view that is designed to be shared over video sharing apps like Discord or Zoom. Any updates to the scene on the original window will be synced to the player window. Hidden tokens and parts of the scene that haven't been revealed by light won't be visible on this window.

The DM can pause the player window by clicking the pause button or pressing P. Any changes you make on your window won't be reflected in the player window until syncing is resumed. This is a good time to setup a surprise attack by vicious goblins! Resume action by clicking play or pressing P again.

Disclaimer

ogre.tools was designed as a light-weight alternative to some of the heavier virtual tabletops on the market. It is intended to be quickly setup and torn down. Although your data should live as long as you use the same computer and browser, please consider it to be volatile until I implement support for exporting it to a file.

It is heavily inspired by Owlbear Rodeo which I recommend trying!
