Key features

• Browser-based 2D virtual tabletop for board- and role-playing games.
• Easy-to-use drag'n'drop interface. Keyboard hotkeys for power-users.
• Invite friends by sending them a room's unique URL. Room passwords optional.
• Multiple tables per room. Use them for different game setups or dungeon levels.
• Tile-/grid-based. Supports square and hex layouts, with snapping.
• Classic game boards, dungeon tiles and 200+ monster token included. Upload your own, too.
• Separate layers for tiles, sticker and token.
• Asset browser for your token/tiles. Individual libraries per room/game.
• Sticky notes and dice trays.
• Templates to setup tables and populate your library from.
• Download snapshots/savegames of your rooms, transfer them between servers or keep an offline backup.
• Privacy friendly. No user tracking. No 3rd-party scripts. Rooms are deleted after some (configurable) time, usually 48h.
• File & folder-based. No database required. Easy to install.
• Open source software (AGPL-3.0). Server/API written in PHP, client in JavaScript.

Note: This is an development version. A few features are still missing:

• Editing assets in the library is possible but limited.

The good news is: You can still use FreeBeeGee today to play! Those features will arrive sooner or later. There is a (rough) roadmap for details.

What FreeBeeGee is not

FreeBeeGee follows the KISS principle. It is not intended to be:

• Your group's text/voice/video chat solution.
• A game scripting engine or programming environment.
• An AI to play against.
• A 3D or physics engine with dazzling visual effects.
• A campaign/game management tool.
• A community management tool.

Requirements

Server

• PHP 7.4 / 8.0 / 8.1 / 8.2 / 8.3 with zip extension
• Apache with .htaccess / mod_rewrite support

-- or --

• Docker

Client

Any recent HTML5-capable browser should do. Mobile/touch device support is a bit limited for now, but should be good enough for spectators.

Installation

Read the Setup & Config docs for full install instructions and how to set your mandatory server password.
