Just to clear up, this is related to a virtual space for Card Games, not for RPG. For RPG, I've the Freebeegee.
Please read the blog for more information.

I know that this isn't perfect the right spot, but it's adjacent enough for me to thing its relevant. I've used multiple tools for playing D&D (and GURPS) online, and for some reason the simplest tools attract me more than the more robust ones.

So would you think that a tool similar to this one would have your interest? If a friend of yours would invite you to play some Card Game over a tool that is focused in the table, not on the rules, would this be ok? Is my line of thought "okish" in this?

Thanks for all the feedback.

Edited (21/jun): I notice that lot of people didn't read the blog and suggested a VTT. So I updated the original text.

There's a range of virtual tabletop software or SaaS out there. The two things that have kept my group from adopting any of them are: 1. Zoom is free and has been "good enough" for us so far, and 2. tech learning curve to create and load maps and encounter data into a virtual tt solution.

I'm the most tech-savvy of my group but I am not the gamemaster so I don't have leverage to push for adoption of a VTT. I agree about simplicity - we'd be fine with basically a video conference client (with screenshare whiteboard overlay ofc) and just a virtual dice-roller added.

That’s pretty much my point. freebeegee is this sweet spot for me. A table where you throw a lot of miniatures, some die e let it be. No fancy things just a barebones table. But it does not support card games. Reason why I’m making few prototypes for this thing.
