How to use YaVTT¶

YaVTT is a Virtual Tabletop. It is a software that facilitates online TTRPG play. You can use YaVTT to play games such as Daggerfall, Blades in the Dark, D&D, or GURPS, online, with your friends.

YaVTT uses a self-hosted server which clients connect to. If you are a player, you should install the client and ask your master/admin the server to connect to. If you are the admin, make sure you follow the instructions to install the server first.

To create your first adventure, you need to install a game system. The system handles the sheets, automations, items and characters. YaVTT comes pre-installed with the YaRS system, but you can freely remove it and install anything else, or install other systems beside it. The Ultra-Minimal system provides a flexible base that can be used to play many TTRPGs as long as you do not need heavy automation. In the Module Plaza, you can search for systems, adventures, seed packets and UI themes.
