Your First 3D Scene Is Free
Try 3D Free3D on Realm VTT
3D scenes include terrain with real elevation, line of sight, dynamic lighting, and physics dice, and they run on the same platform as Realm's character sheets and rules automation for D&D 5e (2024), Pathfinder 2e, Level Up: A5E, Cyberpunk RED, Call of Cthulhu, and Shadowdark. Any machine with a modern browser can join, and players never pay. Realm also has a complete Classic 2D mode with dynamic lighting, fog of war, and animated maps, and campaigns can mix 2D and 3D scenes freely.
What it costs
Every account includes one free 3D scene, and 2D is always free. Unlimited 3D scenes come with the paid tiers: $5.99 a month ($49.99 a year) with 5 GB of storage, or $9.99 a month ($99.99 a year) with 50 GB. Only the GM pays.
