Not a mapmaker but Foundry VTT is a onetime purchase of 50USD (and a pretty flexible license at that) that is free to players.
You do have to self host (LAN is easy of course) or pay a hosting partner a monthly fee on top of the license cost.
We've done a bit of experimenting with Tailscale sharing and seemed to work okay (but does require a bit of technical skill). Tailscale funnels would probably also work and be easier for players. ngrok would be an option as well or a vps.
- drak0n1c 4y agoRunning Foundry on a $20-40/yr KVM VPS from LowEndBox seems to be the best balance between cost and convenience. Performance seems fine.
- vhodges 4y agook thanks. I have an under utilized box at Linode and think I could run it fairly inexpensively on Fly (since I would only run the server during prep and game time). There's a docker file out there so it should be pretty easy to bring up. Fly's current woes are giving me a bit of pause though.
- thenipper 4y agoYou could run it locally for prep and just put the data on fly for when you run it. It takes almost no cpu on the backend. I just throw it on a baby vps I use for random stuff
