QuestMaster

Virtual tabletop

D&D VTT in the browser

Run Dungeons & Dragons 5e on a virtual tabletop without setting up a host: map, fog, combat tracker and character sheets, all in one campaign. It is free to start, and the optional AI stays switched off until you add your own key.

Product and plan facts are from the homepage, pricing and getting started as of 2026-09-18.

At the table

Map

Upload a battle map, calibrate the grid, cover the rest in fog of war, and light only what the party can actually see.

Combat tracker

Hit points, conditions, concentration, death saves, initiative, movement and reach. It is built for 5e rather than being a generic HP box on a token.

Player view

Push whatever the table should see to a screen. Players do not install anything.
The live encounter tracker showing party and monster HP, conditions, concentration and death saves beside a battle map with token faces and the reachable-movement overlay, plus the fog-of-war player-monitor view.

That is the VTT part of the job. Worldbuilding, optional AI and the rest of the toolkit are all on the homepage if you want them, but none of it is required to run tonight’s fight.

5e rules in the same campaign

Character sheets, spells, monsters and items live right next to the map. The SRD reference at /lookup is public, so you can search it before you sign in.

QuestMaster is a web app for Game Masters running tabletop RPGs, with full Dungeons & Dragons 5e support. If your group only plays Pathfinder, this is not the tool for you; Foundry and Roll20 both cover a very wide range of systems (Roll20’s homepage on 2026-09-18 puts it at 1,200 and counting).

Free to start

From pricing, 2026-09-18

Apprentice $0

  • Free for as long as you like
  • 2 campaigns, one of them a ready-made sample
  • Up to 4 players
  • Bring your own AI key (Gemini, OpenAI or Anthropic) if you ever want AI
  • No credit card to start

Adept is $8.99 a month when you need more campaigns and players, full homebrew and shops, and Archmage is $16.99 a month. The full plan comparison is on /pricing; this page is just the way in.

Optional AI, off until you want it

A D&D VTT should still be a D&D VTT if you never go near a language model. QuestMaster’s AI is bring-your-own-key and entirely skippable, and you stay the DM either way.

When you do want drafts, the tutorial is /help/api-keys. The paid plans do not sell AI (billing explains what they do sell).

If what you wanted was an AI to run the session while you play, that is a different kind of product altogether (Friends & Fables at fables.gg, as of 2026-09-18). This page is for human DMs.

QuestMaster is the browser 5e table that also holds the rest of the campaign, with optional AI on your own key. What is coming next is on the roadmap, and the path from signing up to a first session is in getting started.

FAQ

What is a D&D VTT?
A virtual tabletop for Dungeons & Dragons: a shared map, tokens, usually fog of war, and a way to track combat and characters. QuestMaster is one that runs in the browser and is built around 5e.
Is this D&D VTT free?
Yes. The Apprentice plan is $0 for as long as you want it, with 2 campaigns and up to 4 players, and no credit card to sign up. Those numbers are from /pricing as of 2026-09-18.
Do I need to install anything or host a server?
No. Sign in at /login and it runs in the browser. That is the main practical difference from a self-hosted license like Foundry.
Does this work for D&D 5e?
Yes. 5e is the system the whole app is built around. The SRD reference at /lookup is public, so you can search it before you even sign in.
Is the AI required?
No. Every AI feature is optional and you are always the DM. You can add a key later through /help/api-keys, or never.
Where is the full product pitch?
On the QuestMaster homepage. This page is the quick way in for anyone who wants a D&D VTT; plans and the competitor comparison are on /pricing.
