## Description

Foundry Virtual Tabletop is a commercial virtual tabletop for running tabletop RPGs online. The host buys a perpetual license ($50) and runs the server as a desktop app on Windows, macOS, or Linux, or as a headless Node.js process. Players join free through any modern web browser without an account. Core features include 200+ game systems, dynamic lighting and fog of war, integrated audio/video chat via WebRTC, a JavaScript/HTML/CSS API for modules, and a built-in package browser. Default port is 30000; port forwarding is needed for internet play. Minimum specs: 8 GB RAM, 64-bit OS (Windows 10/11, macOS Sonoma+, modern Linux), integrated GPU. No mobile support, no dark mode, no official Docker image. License is a proprietary EULA; source code is closed. Updates come through the app after license validation.
