This might be more what you are looking for:
https://www.twiddla.com
I used this for a few years, actually, before moving over to roll20. It's easy and free.
Another option is:
https://www.rptools.net/toolbox/maptool/
I think players have to download this one, but I've heard from other folks it is not a huge deal.
Seriously, give twiddla a try first.

Re: Active Games for Basic Fantasy
Roll20 is fairly flexible. Some people use it ONLY for generating character sheets. You can also use it ONLY as a way to display a map; this is nice if you have an LCD gaming table and want to use "fog of war" visibility effects. If you don't want to use the built-in tracking system, you can just avoid tokens all together, or add them without linking them to character sheets.bigjawhite wrote: ↑Wed Oct 09, 2019 11:42 am I have no interest in entering hit points for PCs or monsters.

Re: Active Games for Basic Fantasy
You can do that so easily with Roll20 it's amazing. Without adding any automation. It's just about right by-default. The only settings you need to do is choose the Basic Fantasy Character Sheet that someone else programmed, even that is optional. And learn/look at the dice roller for the chat room there, by the way it's the same style of dice roller controls as a lot of online chat rooms use. Super simple, several different ways of doing it (by pressing buttons, or typing 1d20).bigjawhite wrote: ↑Wed Oct 09, 2019 11:42 am Thank you orobourus and teaman.
Programming was not the right word. Set-up is.

Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds my only options?
Whether you want to play in text chat, or face-to-face voice and camera style, the basic free Roll20 does this. Just make a free Roll20 account and click "Create New Game". You could be playing BFRPG in 5 minutes or a day from there.
