TaleSpire

TaleSpire is an online tabletop for playing pen-and-paper RPGs together. Players and GMs build and explore worlds on square grids, using digital boards that combine handcrafted-looking terrain and miniatures with tools for running adventures. It is not tied to a particular game or ruleset, and supports both one-shots and longer campaigns.

Play as a hero or GM

As a player, you can take on multiple heroes and creatures, manage their stats, use emotes and roll dice directly on the board. You can also interact with the environment, depending on what the GM allows.

As a GM, you build maps, set up camera shots and control soundscapes. Building and play can happen together: you or multiple GMs can switch to building mode during an adventure and change the world without interrupting play. Boards persist online and synchronize in real time, so you can also add preparations as you play.

Tools for adventures

The game includes dice, rulers, area markers and emotes, as well as special modes for turn-based combat and cinematic sequences. You can destroy a wall to reveal a passage or add other changes to the board during play.

Board assets

The library includes 280 miniatures, 2,100 tiles and props, and 60 unique audio tracks. Boards can be shared with friends or with the wider community through sites such as TalesBazaar and TalesTavern. You can copy board sections, called slabs, as text and paste that text back into TaleSpire to bring a slab into the game.
