The fun one is host an OSCAR server and use AIM.

It’s super lightweight to host, simple to setup, and works with any open source client that used to work with AIM.

Qwen 3.6-35B-A3B (which OP mentioned) would work great as long as you have some system RAM to offload it.

I use Owlbear Rodeo. It doesn’t do character sheets (unless there is an extension that does), but I find the tabletop with tokens and fog easy to use.

I use Zola too. I chose it because it is like a simpler version of Hugo and it has a much easier templating engine (it’s similar to Jinja2).
