I'm looking for the right VTT setup for an upcoming game with a homebrew system, and was hoping someone here could save me some time trying and discarding possibilities.
What I need:
- Runs on Windows and works with whatever tablet.
- Can draw on map with a pen. Doesn't have to be Wacom (could be Tegra or ipad or whatever), but hand drawing with the mouse just takes too long and looks terrible. I'm willing to buy a reasonably-priced tablet to make this work.
- Can use custom dice. This system uses zero-based d10 pools, so I'd need to be able to either define a die with custom face values, or subtract 1 from each die rolled. Also needs to be able to handle exploding dice (explodes on 9 -> roll again and add).
- Hex grid.
It'd be nice if there were a free solution, but I haven't found anything that does all that yet, free or otherwise.
What does the hive suggest?

Those are pretty specific requirements, and really there's not a lot of VTT's out there that don't do anything more than "the standard", as far as I'm aware.
It's usually a matter of seeing what's out there and adapting your needs to the VTT, rather than the other way around.
I don't think I've even seen a VTT that runs on a tablet at all, and that's probably your priority 1 requirement?
Doesn't have to be running on an ipad or android tablet necessarily. If there's one that can use a drawing tablet (Wacom or otherwise) for input, that would be sufficient. I'm just reluctant to plunk down a couple hundred bucks on something I don't *know* will work. I was hoping someone else had already found one that does and could recommend it.
