World of Darkness VTT: The Loom online virtual tabletop
Looking for a World of Darkness VTT that already knows your character sheets? The Loom is Darkness Weaver's free browser-based virtual tabletop for Vampire, Hunter, Mage, Werewolf, and other supported lines. Build a character in the hub, open a private Loom, invite players with a join code, and keep dice plus session actions in one shared table view.
Use The Loom when your group wants live online chronicles without rebuilding sheets in a generic VTT.
Lore and chronicle tone
Why World of Darkness tables need a focused VTT
Online Storyteller chronicles need more than a blank map. Players bring Hunger, Renown, Paradox, and other line-specific pressures that live on their sheets. A World of Darkness virtual tabletop should keep those sheets close to the dice, give the Storyteller private notes and NPC reveals, and let guests observe without hijacking a seat.
From Session Zero to live scenes
Most groups finish characters before the first scene. Darkness Weaver covers creation and PDF export; The Loom continues that workflow into play. The Storyteller opens a Loom for the chronicle, players link saves they already trust, and observers can follow politics or combat without rolling.
Rules and creation flow
Join codes and private Looms
Each Loom stays private by default. The Storyteller shares a join code so only invited players enter the live room. That keeps chronicle tables out of open lobbies while still making remote play easy.
Linked sheets, logged dice, and observer mode
Players attach Darkness Weaver characters and roll from those sheets. The session log records dice and table actions for later reference. Observer mode lets spectators follow without linking a character or spending a player seat.
Storyteller stage tools
Storytellers can place stage media, manage maps, run timers, keep private notes, and reveal NPC sheets when the scene calls for it. The goal is one ST screen for the live chronicle rather than juggling unrelated modules.

Sign in, create a Loom for your table, and copy the join code for players.
- 3

Storyteller and player tips
Session Zero with The Loom
Finish concepts and sheets in Darkness Weaver first, export PDFs if anyone needs printouts, then open a Loom for the first live night. Confirm join codes, linked seats, and whether guests will use observer mode before dice hit the table.
Voice, Discord, and hybrid setups
Many tables keep Discord or another voice channel beside The Loom. You do not need Roll20 or Foundry for the core sheet and dice loop; use The Loom for the table and your preferred voice app for conversation.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best free World of Darkness VTT on Darkness Weaver?
The Loom is Darkness Weaver's free virtual tabletop for World of Darkness and Chronicles of Darkness chronicles. It focuses on join codes, linked sheets, logged dice, observers, and Storyteller tools.
Is The Loom the same as Roll20 or Foundry?
No. Roll20 and Foundry are general-purpose VTTs. The Loom is built around Darkness Weaver character saves and Storyteller chronicle play in the browser.
Can I run Vampire: The Masquerade online with The Loom?
Yes. Build Kindred in the Vampire hub, open a Loom, and link those sheets for live dice and session play.
Does The Loom support Chronicles of Darkness too?
Yes. Supported CoD lines such as Princess: The Hopeful can come to the table through the same Loom workflow when their sheets exist in Darkness Weaver.
Do players need to import characters into another tool?
Usually not. Players join with Darkness Weaver saves already on their account. Manual pools and observer mode cover seats without a linked sheet.
Are live Looms indexed by search engines?
No. Live room URLs stay private and noindex. Only the public The Loom landing and this guide are meant for search.
Is The Loom free?
Yes. Sign in to create or join a Loom. Character creation, PDF export, and The Loom are free to use in the browser.
Where do I start?
Open The Loom from the Darkness Weaver hub, or finish a character in a splat creator first and then create a table with a join code.
