About

Simple VTT is a lightweight, self-hosted virtual tabletop for tabletop roleplaying games. It lets a game master prepare maps ahead of a session and share them with players, who join remotely from their browser — no installation needed, whether on desktop or tablet.

The app imports Universal VTT (.uvtt) map files, including their walls, doors, windows and multiple floors, so maps prepared in other tools can be used directly. A “props” extension also allows scenery such as trees and furniture to be placed from UVTT bundles.

What is here?

  • Map preparation for the game master
  • Browser-based access for connected players
  • Universal VTT (.uvtt) import: walls, doors, windows, floors
  • Props extension for scenery placement
  • Self-hosted deployment with Docker and Apache (HTTPS / WebSockets)

Work in progress

Simple VTT is under active development. Source code and documentation live on GitHub: radixhomework/simple-vtt.
