Current state of Diecast

Hey there, and thanks for checking out Diecast (formerly known as Forgeron)! This page should outline the features and systems currently supported in the app. The goal is to help you make an informed decision before trying the Alpha version out.

To find out the latest, please see the Changelog post. To join the Alpha release, please see this post.

If you'd like to stay up to date or provide feedback, please consider joining the Discord server.

This article was last updated May 28, 2026 for version 0.8.0 (Initiative).

Platforms

Currently, both iOS and Android support the same features to the same degree.

Foundry

Diecast is designed and tested on FoundryVTT version 13, always using the latest build. Earlier versions of Foundry may work as well, but are not officially supported. If you encounter issues on an older build, please report them in the Discord channel.

Hosting

Local and self-hosted work as expected. I have tested Molten Hosting and The Forge public games with no issues.

The Forge private games are not yet supported (as the login page prevents Diecast from talking to the Foundry game instance), but the team at The Forge is working on a solution.

Overall, if you can get to the Foundry join page with your mobile browser by just typing in the URL, you'll be able to connect just fine.

The one caveat is that because your phone most likely does not recognize self-signed certificates, you'll need to either disable SSL or get a certificate from a recognized certificate authority. You might also be able to set yourself up as a CA and get your phone to trust self-signed certificates.

Known issues

• Using "Bold" or "Display size" system-wide accessibility options on Android results in clipped text across the app (reported by Azrael)

• Very large worlds may crash the app on load on Android due to a memory overflow (reported by Azrael) ✅ Fixed (0.8.0)

• Exporting your world may not work on some Android devices ✅ Fixed (0.5.0)

• Server urls on Android cannot contain an underscore in the domain or subdomain

These features may not be implemented any time soon (if at all), mostly due to technical limitations or low value within Diecast.
