Welcome to The Virtual DM. My tiny corner of the interwebs dedicated to helping you run the very best Dungeons & Dragons 5e (D&D 5e) campaign using the Fantasy Grounds Unity virtual tabletop (VTT). I am absolutely positive that any Virtual Dungeon Masters (DM), from newbies to veterans, will find something of value here.
Now you may be thinking, “What the heck is a Virtual DM anyway?” Well, I am glad you asked. A Virtual DM is a DM that runs their favourite tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) sessions online using a virtual tabletop (VTT) along with audio/video tools such as Discord or Zoom. I think it is a fantastic way to play D&D 5e with people from all over the world, and if you are still reading, you likely agree with me or are at least interested in learning more.
Have a look around. Hopefully, you will find something of interest. Something that will help you on your journey to become a better Virtual DM.
If I can help, connect with me using the information provided in the Sending Stones. I would love to hear from you.
