MERLIN is a 3D Virtual Tabletop that uses the UNREAL EDITOR as its creation engine, and offers FOUNDRY VTT compatibility as its game system layer.
Merlin’s current VTT features:
- Create asset packs and maps, and script events, in the Unreal Editor, then export them to Merlin.
- Run multiplayer games with GM and player roles.
- Pick up, move, create, and destroy characters, props and scenery.
- Take control of characters in 1st person, 3rd person and top-down perspective.
- Roll 3D dice.
- …and many more to come, as detailed in our Roadmap
Unreal Engine Integration
Instead of itself functioning as a map creation tool, Merlin offers compatibility with the wide variety of professional tools already used by Unreal developers.
It’s easy to take a map created in the Unreal Editor, and export it to Merlin to use in your games, or to sell as add-on content. In future, we will have a store where creators can easily sell their maps and other content.
Foundry VTT Compatibility
If you own a copy of Foundry, you can connect Merlin to a running Foundry server and use it as a 3D backdrop to a Foundry campaign.
This compatibility is currently quite limited, but we plan to expand it in future to full interoperability, and to offer the same thing with other popular 2D VTTs.
