Overview

GM Forge presents itself as a standalone Virtual Tabletop (VTT) solution, aiming to be an affordable and feature-rich alternative for Game Masters. A key selling point is its accessibility: when one person purchases GM Forge, their friends can join sessions directly through their web browser without needing to buy a copy themselves. This makes it incredibly easy to get a game going with a group. The developers have focused on providing the competitive features found in other VTTs while also introducing innovative ideas tailored for the average GM.
