Frequently Asked Questions
Is Central Nexus really free?
Yes! The VTT, social features, Chemistry Check matching, and community are 100% free forever. We offer optional Nexus Credits (NC) for premium marketplace content like 3D models and music.
What game systems does Central Nexus support?
Central Nexus supports D&D 5e, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, and any TTRPG system. Our VTT is system-agnostic, making it perfect for any tabletop RPG.
How is Chemistry Check different from regular LFG?
Chemistry Check goes beyond 'looking for players' by matching you based on playstyle compatibility, tone preferences, experience level, and availability. It's like a session zero built into the matchmaking process.
Do I need external tools for video chat?
Nope! Video and voice chat are built directly into Central Nexus. No need for Discord, Zoom, or any other external tools.
Can I use Central Nexus on mobile?
Yes, Central Nexus is fully responsive and works on tablets and phones. The full VTT experience is best on desktop, but you can browse the Tavern, chat, and manage your campaigns from any device.
How does proximity chat work?
Proximity chat adjusts player audio volume based on mini distance on the battle map. When your character moves close to another player's character, you can hear them. Move away, and they fade. It creates realistic spatial audio for immersive gameplay.
