A seat at your table

Aethera VTT showing a warm tavern map with five player-drawn character tokens and combat controls — Every adventure starts somewhere.

A tavern, a hidden passage, a gathering of the party. Put your map at the center, with tokens and encounter controls close at hand.

Aethera VTT showing a swamp crossing, party tokens, and the encounter turn order — A new scene. The same shared world.

Take the party into the wilderness. Keep maps, characters, and encounters together as the story moves from one location to the next.

Set the atmosphere

Still or animated maps. Walls, lighting, and fog that help you control what the party discovers.

Keep the encounter moving

Move tokens, measure distance, follow initiative, and track conditions without leaving the scene.

Make it a shared experience

Roll together in chat. Add playlists and sound zones, and connect your campaign to Aethera Voice.

The people behind the tokens

Keep the character
with the campaign.

Attributes, equipment, features, and biography belong together. Open a sheet when you need it, give a player their character, and bring them into the scene.

Sheets you can play from: Check abilities, make rolls, and keep character details within reach.
Gear with a home: Organize inventory and features alongside the character who uses them.
Clear ownership: Choose who can see or edit an actor, then place its token on the map.

Before you gather the party

A few things to know.

Does anyone need to install an app?

No. The tabletop runs in the browser. Players sign in with a free Aethera account and open your campaign invite.

Can I bring my own maps?

Yes. Use your own still or animated maps, then configure the scene's grid, walls, lighting, and fog. Check the map requirements for supported formats and upload guidance.

What does it cost to host or play?

Hosting starts on Free with full campaigns and invites. Plus adds storage and larger per-file uploads; Pro adds advanced configuration. Players and invitees never need a paid plan. Compare host plans.

Can I try it before I make a world?

Yes. Open the live demo to explore a tabletop without creating an account. When you're ready to host, create your own free world.
