WHAT IS DUNGEONS '85?

Dungeons '85 is a minimalist, open-source, system-agnostic Virtual Tabletop (VTT). It is designed to get out of your way and let you focus on the game, using your own assets.

DO I NEED TO UPLOAD MY MAPS TO YOUR SERVER?

No. We do not host your images. You load your maps and tokens directly from your local or cloud drive into the browser. Once you close the session, the connection is severed and information is deleted after 20 minutes.

WHICH TTRPG SYSTEMS DOES IT SUPPORT?

Dungeons '85 is system-agnostic. If you have the maps, tokens, and dice, you can play anything. It is optimized for old school playstyles that prioritize playability over automation.

HOW DOES THE TORCH TIMER WORK?

The Torch Timer is a tool for Shadowdark GMs to track one hour of real time (minus 0-300 seconds). It is a local-only timer, player do not see it. When used in alongside the Fog of War feature, it "Fogs" the entire map when the torch goes out.

CAN I PLAY ON MOBILE?

Dungeons '85 is designed for desktop play. While it will load on mobile, it is not optimized for small touchscreens.

WHERE IS MY DATA SAVED?

Nowhere. We do not store your game state, your player list, maps or tokens. Everything exists in the moment of your session.

CAN I SHARE .D85 FILES?

Yes. In fact we encourage you to share your dungeons and adventure outlines. Look for the .d85 creators guide coming soon.
