Just stumbled across this on Steam. It's like Tabletop Simulator but still in its infancy. It's currently 50% off (only 7.49US) so I grabbed it to see what it is like. If nothing else maybe the competition will be a good thing for TTS.

I have since alpha, it has been developing fairly good.
The philosophy is different from TTS though as instead of rooms, we setup tables ( is odd to explain but that's how it works ).
Regarding module building and workshop it is outside steam, which makes it an obvious second choice BUT the way they are built are like we have our shelves and game boxes. When we build a "box" it contains an entire game, ready to go.

Have to return to it after the last updates ( since last september '21 ) but I liked it for non miniature games.

Unless they move to steam workshop it will never become as interesting as TTS.

The other nice thing is that it supports up to 16 players at a time. I also need to spend more time exploring it.
