System-Shaped
It already knows what a clock is. Or a stress track, or a faction turn. You never teach the tool the rules — they're the foundation it's built on.
We build one virtual tabletop per system, from scratch. Stars Without Number gets sectors and faction turns. Old School Fantasy gets a torch that actually burns down. Derelict gets stress, panic checks, and characters who die easy. Nothing here is a plugin — and nobody at the table pays.
Free forever · No card · GMs and players alike

It already knows what a clock is. Or a stress track, or a faction turn. You never teach the tool the rules — they're the foundation it's built on.
No mod packs. No spreadsheet cosplaying as a game. One craftsman, one system, one purpose-built table at a time.
Players never pay and never sign up. They click a link, type a name, and they're at the table. You bring the world; we bring the seats.

ShawnsVTTs
Stress and panic checks, hull breaches, and characters who die easy.
Coming-soon systems ship as full bespoke tools — never as plugins. New systems land when they're ready, not on a marketing schedule.
Choose the VTT built for the game you're actually running. Sign in and you're running — no card, ever.
Drop in your sector, your crew, your clocks. The tool already speaks the system, so there's nothing to configure.
Players click, type a name, and sit down. No accounts, no downloads, no per-seat fee. Ever.
The whole tool, free forever. No card, no expiry.
Chip in what a coffee costs. Keeps the lights on.
Covers a slice of the server bill and buys build time.
Funds the next virtual tabletop outright.
The tiers above apply to Stars Without Number, Old School Fantasy, GrimDelve, and Derelict. The Cyberpunk Red VTT has no caps and no tiers — it is free and unlimited for every GM and every player, permanently.
All amounts in USD · Billed via Patreon · Cancel any time, no fees · The free tier never expires
Nobody pays. Players never pay and never create accounts — they click the game link, type their name, and they're at the table — and the GM's account is free too. This is not a freemium tease; it's how ShawnsVTTs works, forever.
Generic VTTs are toolboxes. You spend your prep hours teaching them your system, then patching the parts that don't fit. We start from the rules instead. A clock is a clock. A faction turn resolves on the map. Nothing to configure.
Tell us. The roadmap is driven by what people are actually running, and supporters get a vote on the order. GrimDelve, Cyberpunk Red, and Derelict are queued now.
Yes. Free and Adventurer cover one system at a time and you can swap it whenever you like. Game Master covers two at once. World Builder covers everything on the shelf, including whatever launches next.
It's yours. Export your sector, crew, clocks, and notes as JSON at any time, including after you cancel. No hostage-taking.
