I'm thinking of running a Mothership campaign in the near future, but my group typically plays over Zoom and not everyone has a device that can support a VTT, so all of our games tend to be "theater of the mind". No complaints, I've played this way for years.

If you've played Mothership, do you think it would be runnable without a TT/VTT, or is that pretty essential?

I haven't played it but in general to me the rules seem rather in the OSR direction, so I feel there's nothing in the rules that would necessitate a VTT.

Also, there's https://www.owlbear.rodeo/ it's browser based and if you can fit under 50M per image it's free. I would guess a device would sooner have problems with zoom than this. One of our players does use mobile with owlbear.
