I'll look into Foundry. Not sure what the specs are that I would need in order to host.
How would I set up a dice bot for matrix? Would I need to self host or is there an existing server I could create a space in?
The foundry specs are so low you can probably use a toaster for the hosting. The client (web browser) uses graphics for the tabletop so the requirements are a bit higher, but still every device currently available will be able to run it I'm pretty sure.
The main difficult requirement is the networking, whereever you host it will need an open port for people to connect to. I don't know how hard that will be for you.
Don't know much about the Matrix stuff, I've just seen it before.
Finally! A use for my 486!
Ok, gotcha! Thanks for the info!
Just going to chime in with some help, in case you need it. If you end up deciding for Foundry and find you need a public ip or something, look up zgrok (tailscale and tunnelmole are also options, but they're not as good). It is probably the friendliest tunneling service I've found, and easy to set up as well. Doesn't really have a GUI but it worked.
