Sophie’s Dice
SUPERB dice tool. The best I’ve ever used, and believe me, I’ve used a LOT. It might seem weird at first, especially if you’re coming from Tabletop Simulator, but believe me. Give it a chance and play around with the customization tools and you won’t be sorry.
Features like expressions (being able to automatically explode dice, exclude dice from a total based on context such as when rolling for D&D stats, and more are now essentials for me), automatic grouping and rotation of dice after the roll, and various ways to count dice have really made this my one and only dice roller.

I use Sophie’s Dice as a dice roller for my Tabletop Roleplaying game group. Absolutely love it. Plenty of options, beautiful design options. Most importantly, the dice roller is extremely fair.
Version 1.1
Love the new design options, particularly the Magic material type. They added a “realistic rolling” function that makes dice act more like their more physical counterparts. I’ll never use that feature (I’m all about that randomness), but I’m glad they give that option. They also make it clear when it’s being used, so you can’t be sneaky during game sessions.

Dire Wolf Game Room
I tried this app playing the solo version of Dune Imperium. The app itself is great and is identical to the Android version. However, the app window was limited to a postage card-sized window that could not be resized on my HP Spectre x360 Convertible Windows laptop. It was hard to see the card text unless the computer was brought very close. Once this issue is fixed I will heartily recommend the app.

Dynamic Dungeons Editor
For those who don’t know, this is a complete re-do of the old Dynamic Dungeon Editor which had a some what dated feel to it.
The new DDE is built with Unity and has a much better feel to it.
If you play table top role playing games on a TV, monitor, or projector setup with people physically in the room with you (not playing remotely) this is the best software currently out.
It has a small learning curve in my opinion, but honestly anyone can use the basic features: load a map (animated or static) and start playing Dungeons & Dragons or whatever RPG your heart desires.

I originally purchased Dynamic Dungeons through Patreon and it has been a game changer for our DnD games. The ability to use a quick change map, pre-build the campaign, download or create custom props and then reveal it all slowly with fog of war is just amazing. Add to that the options for particle effects, motion background and immersive environmental sounds and you have a classy set up for your DnD gaming sessions.
I do all my creation on my robust PC and then copy the campaign over to the laptop for the session itself. We set up a 40" LCD TV on a pool table with Plexiglass on top to set out miniatures on. The players move their minis and I control NPCs, fog of war and other features from my laptop for them to view on the screen.

Dudes on a Map: Virtual Grid Paper
I can’t say enough about how great this tool is for helping with running my game! It’s simple to pick up and start playing with, without having to study tutorial videos. Easily import your own maps in jpeg form, and you’re on your way to having a great time with friends. There are some ‘fancy’ features, like having 2 different types of fog (one standard and one for secret areas you don’t want to accidentally reveal), marking up areas of effect, initiative tracker, add in your own monster/NPC tokens, and a dice roller (with the option of using symbol dice for different game systems). While these are great, you don’t need to use them if you don’t want to. I tired of trying to learn how to use other systems, and my experience of using dudes has convinced me that I don’t need to while still having a great time with my friends.

Been playing since the earliest Alpha releases. Also, for respectful reasons of this review, I did not get it for free but I am close to the creator so, anyone reading this, perhaps you’ll feel that there’s bias BUT, I will happily preface it at the top here first.
Dudes On A Map, for me, can be described as the easiest non-tech proficient program for playing RPG’s online with your friends. While some may say “Scoff, there’s not nearly as many tools and all these bells and all those whistles.” I would reply to them “Good, I don’t want all that and, to be honest, I don’t want to take a small 101 course just to get my games running.”

Wildshape - Map Editor (free demo)
Definitely would recommend giving this map editor/VTT a try if you’re running campaigns with your friends either online or locally. It is best used with a second monitor to have as indicator for what your players see.
The tool sports the most visually impressive map editor I have come across, and whilst the VTT features definitely still need some work to be considered top of the line, they are certainly usable and enjoyable. I am a first time DM, and am very much looking forward to utilizing this tool for a long time to come if it is kept up in the same pace as it has so far.

Absolutely love it. The level of realism and natural beauty you can create with Wildshape is simply unmatched. To me, Wildshape is a simulation for those insanely detailed real world battle map models you see at your local geek shop, but it’s here, on your screen with loads of assets, and textures to bring it to life without ever touching a bottle of glue.
I own several map makers, such as dungeondraft and arkenforge. This is entirely a different product, and with that there is a learning curve. Expect to spend time getting used to creating in a 3D space as it’s not going to be simply drag and drop like other 2D applications (for obvious reasons). So yes, takes time to learn, but the pay off is huge.

Yag
I use this regularly to stream tabletop stuff on Twitch and it works GREAT. If you want something more immersive than the prevalent 2D platforms, YAG really has a lot to offer. Your players can go First Person, Third Person, or even top down if they want. Flexibility and the already multiple updates are just two of the perks offered by using YAG.
It does take some additional prep on the front end from your GM building out your maps, but once they are built you can save them. The good news is you can make massive changes with the very easy to use terrain tools. I personally think it’s a fair trade off for the level of immersion.

Odd||Even
Avoid this game like the plauge. Infact if you want this game, go get the plauge first. The game does not work on most of the machines that I’ve tried to run it on. The developer I believe has given up on this game, they haven’t been on steam for 99 days.
If the developer reads this, if you don’t plan on doing anything more with it, can you open source it and place it on github so at least I can attempt to get it to work. I’ve never even played a single game.
– Real player with 6.7 hrs in game
This is a puzzle game about numbers, the game has a tutorial which doesn’t really tell you what to do. The controls are counter-intuitive and gameplay mechanics are hard to grasp. What makes this game even more boring is full absence of music and sound effects of any kind.
Pros:
-Maybe it’s fun if you know how to play it?
Cons:
-Lack of tutorial
-No music
-Cheap graphics
-Technical problems
In short:
Not recommended.
