Rolisteam
What Rolisteam is
Rolisteam is a virtual table for tabletop role-playing game sessions. Its chat has global, direct and additional channels, dice commands and clickable links. Mind maps help organize notes through connected nodes, images, packages and tags. Users can create interactive, multi-page character sheets on PDF backgrounds, with fields, buttons, formulas or JavaScript.
The software includes three independent audio players for uses such as ambient music and sound effects, but it does not stream audio files; players need access to playlist files or URLs. Its PDF viewer can crop page content to the clipboard for sharing or placing on a game map or mind map. DiceParser commands work in Rolisteam and its Discord bot. A 3D dice feature is marked as a technical preview and supports d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20 and d100. Rolisteam is free and open source under GNU GPL v2.0, with Windows, macOS and Linux downloads. The Ubuntu package is listed only for Ubuntu 26.04 Resolute Raccoon. Roliserver is designed to host multiple games on one computer.
