Why BlitzVTT
Built to get out of your way.
No account
Open a tab, you're in
Nothing to sign up for, no email, no password. The campaign starts the moment you click.
No backend
Your group, your data
Sessions run peer-to-peer between your browsers. Your maps, tokens and chat stay on the devices at the table.
No install
Anywhere a browser runs
Laptop, desktop, tablet. No downloads, no plugins, no setup before the first session.
Features
Maps, tokens, packs, sessions, invite.
02 · Tokens
Characters and monsters
Tokens for PCs, NPCs and enemies. Players move their own; the Game Master can move anything.
- — Any image URL for the artwork, or plain colored tokens
- — Drag to move, snaps to grid
- — Movement distance in cells
- — Lock tokens so they don't get nudged
03 · Packs
Map and token packs
Load curated bundles of maps and tokens from a URL. Share a pack with your group, or build your own.
- — Paste a URL, the pack loads
- — Host your own on any static URL
- — Maps and tokens travel together
- — Mix packs across campaigns
04 · Session
Chat and a log
A shared chat for the group. Token moves and map changes show up as log entries.
- — Group chat
- — Auto-log for joins, map changes, token moves
- — Hover a move in the log to preview it on the map
- — Player list with online status
05 · Invite
Two ways to connect
No accounts, no rooms to manage. Pick whichever method fits your group.
Quick connect
An 8-character code
The Game Master shares a short code like ABCD-1234. Players paste it and join in seconds.
- — Uses a tiny pairing service to find each other
- — Connection itself stays peer-to-peer
- — Names remembered locally, reconnect is one click
Manual
Copy-paste handshake
Skip the pairing service entirely. Exchange a short block of text over chat, email, or carrier pigeon.
- — No third-party service involved
- — Same end-to-end encryption as quick connect
- — Fallback if quick connect fails
06 · Fog of war
Reveal the map as they go
Cover the map and uncover areas as the party explores. Players only see what their Game Master reveals.
07 · Dice roller
Roll for the table
Standard dice notation, rolls show up in chat for everyone, no separate app needed.
Good to know
A handful of things before you start.
Nothing to install
Runs in the browser. Open a tab, you're in.
Local storage
Campaigns, tokens and maps live in your browser. Clear your data and they're gone.
Encrypted in transit
Peer-to-peer traffic is encrypted by WebRTC. Nobody in between reads your session.
No tracking, no ads
No analytics, no marketing cookies, no pixels. The site doesn't watch you.
Low latency
Direct connection between browsers, no server hop. Moves and chat land instantly.
No ruleset assumptions
D&D, Pathfinder, Cthulhu, homebrew. It doesn't care which system you run.
Multiple campaigns
Keep as many as you want side by side.
Bring your own assets
Your maps and tokens, or shared packs by URL.
Browser requirements
A reasonably current Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Safari.
