The latest Alpha
Keep your table moving with 0.3.1 Alpha.

Give objects something to do
Open object menus and choose from 14 editable behavior models. Ask players for dice rolls, open journals and update quest status through native scene interactions.
Bring game edits back to the project

A few things about your new table.
Which RPG systems can I use?
Gravewright is a universal VTT. Use a compatible system extension for dedicated sheets and automations, or map PDF sheets for your group’s game. Available rules support depends on the system you install.
Is Gravewright free?
Yes. Gravewright is free and open source. You host your installation and keep control of your campaign files. Third-party modules have their own licenses and terms.
How do players join?
Players join a shared server through their browser. The Runner starts locally on Windows, Linux or macOS; use the hosting guide to make your installation available to your group.
Can I use the interface in Portuguese or Spanish?
Install Translator from the Marketplace and activate its languages. Each user can choose English, Brazilian Portuguese or Spanish; Marketplace categories, tags and tag searches follow that choice. Documents and text written by your group keep their original language.
Where are my campaigns stored?
Your campaigns stay on your host. The default portable installation stores the database and uploaded media in the application folder; you can configure other locations. Stop the Runner and back up the database, media, configuration and installed extensions before an upgrade.
Is 0.3.1 available to download?
Yes. Gravewright 0.3.1 Alpha is available now. The ZIP includes installers for Windows, Linux and macOS. Systems and modules are installed separately. Keep backups of important campaigns and read the release notes before upgrading.
What can I build with Map Builder?
Paint maps, organize layers and add walls, doors, objects, lights and effects. Use object menus, choose from 14 editable behavior models or connect your own Smart Object nodes. Generate a GM-only scene, bring compatible scene edits back into the project and update its linked scene. Activating it for players is a separate action.
Can I import a map I already have?
Yes. Import a finished image as a Builder background, then add your own objects and behaviors. Import Universal VTT files as separate native scenes with their grid, walls, doors and lights. UVTT cannot reconstruct editable Builder layers; export uses the current native scene, not an unpublished project draft.
Can I play with DnD 5e SRD?
DnD 5e SRD 0.1.2 is available as one package from Systems. It includes dedicated sheets, combat automation and partial licensed SRD collections for the 2014 and 2024 profiles. Check its installation guide for host requirements; the guide currently documents VTT 0.2.3. Other D&D books and official artwork are not included.
How do I install the Savage Worlds compatibility package?
Get version 0.1.2 from Systems and select it for your table, following the package’s installation guide and host requirements. That guide currently documents VTT 0.2.3. Sheets, item templates, assets and automation belong to the same system package; no separate rules module is required.
Can I add my own systems and modules?
Yes. Gravewright supports custom systems and modules with documented APIs. Install extensions from creators you trust; browser modules run inside the table page.
