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 table's unique URL.
• Tile-/grid-based, with snapping. Classic dungeon tiles and 200+ monster token included.
• Separate layers for tiles, overlays and tokens.
• Asset browser for your token/tiles. Individual libraries per game.
• Sticky notes and dice trays.
• Templates to setup tables and populate your library from.
• Transfer individual tables between servers. Or keep an offline backup.
• Privacy friendly. No user tracking. No 3rd-party scripts. Tables are deleted after some (configurable) time, usually 48h.
• File & folder-based. No database required.
• Easy to install and maintain.
• Open source software (AGPL-3.0). Server/API written in PHP, client in JavaScript.

Note: This is still an early/development version. A few rather major features are still missing, limiting it's current usefullness:

• While you can upload images/tiles/pieces via the web-UI, editing them is quite limited.
• No per-table passwords yet. Anyone who knows a table name can join. That is partly by design, but it would be nice to have that option.
• You can attach (text)labels to tokens, but no fancy state-icons, HP counters etc. - yet.

The good news is: You can still use FreeBeeGee today to play! Missing features will arrive sooner or later. There is a 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 community management tool.
• A campaign management tool.

There is also a FAQ explaining some of the technical decisions/limitations of this project.

Requirements

Server

• PHP 7.2+
• Apache with .htaccess / mod_rewrite support

Client

Any recent HTML5-capable browser should do. No IE, sorry. Mobile/touch device support is also a bit limited for now.

Installation

Download the latest release from https://github.com/ludus-leonis/FreeBeeGee/releases. Extract the *.tar.gz/*.zip into a folder on your web-server and you are (almost) ready to go - FreeBeeGee comes with reasonable, secure defaults.

Read the Setup & Config docs for details.
