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.
