What is FoundryVTT?
Foundry Virtual Tabletop (FoundryVTT, Foundry, FVTT) is an application for hosting and playing TTRPGs remotely over the internet. All aspects of the game can be done within Foundry- creating characters, exploring maps, rolling dice, playing background music, and more. Additionally, much of the Foundry experience is automated, so very little math has to be done by the players. Kelek specifically runs on a dedicated server, so it is accessible even when the host is not online. It also has several modules to aid in automation and quality of life.
Hardware Requirements
Minimum Specifications
- Relatively modern computer running Windows 10 or 11, macOS Big Sur (or newer), or Linux operating systems, with support for 64-bit architecture.
- An integrated GPU to enable hardware acceleration.
- 8GB of RAM
- A monitor no smaller than 1366x768. At this minimum resolution many aspects of the UI will feel cramped.
- A modern web browser like Chrome, Firefox, Opera, or Edge with hardware acceleration enabled. (Safari is not a supported browser at this time).
Recommended Specifications
- Relatively modern computer running Windows 10 or 11, macOS Big Sur (or newer), or Linux operating systems with support for 64-bit architecture.
- A dedicated GPU which supports WebGL 2.0.
- 16GB of RAM
- A monitor with 1920x1080 or higher resolution.
- A mouse. You can use the software with a touchpad but the current software is designed for mouse and keyboard.
- Chrome or a Chromium-based browser provides an experience closest to the FVTT desktop application.
Coming soon.
