Since there's been some talk around places for things that make tabletop over the internet possible, I figured I'd let you guys know that TaleSpire has been released to Early Access. No sale for this one, but it's currently $24.99US for those who want to pick it up. Here's the stuff on it:


With Talespire, the beauty and physicality of tabletop gaming meet the endless possibilities of a digital world. Here you can collaboratively build your worlds without compromising the handcrafted aesthetic of using traditional miniatures.

As a player, you can take on the mantle of multiple heroes and creatures, manage your stats, and express yourself using the growing emote system. Perform dice rolls directly on the board and interact with your environment — at least, as far as your GM will let you!

As a GM, you can dazzle and thrill your friends by building expansive maps, setting up shots, and controlling immersive soundscapes to bring all your delightful and devious designs to life.​

I have to say that it's very pretty compared to a lot of the competition it has. Although, there's no ruleset implimentations for it so there's what some people might see as a con versus RollD20 or Fantasy Grounds.

I'd love to play a single-player CRPG with such aesthetics. Unfortunately it seems there are almost none.
Wartile had great visuals but they made the stupid decision of having it real-time.

Looks great, but will entirely depend on people's ability to put out worthwile modules for it. Cautiously wishlisted.

Meh. I'm fine with owlbearrodeo for maps when I have to play online. and nothing is better than play in person without this kind of gimmicks.

This one has been in development for a long time, I almost thought it turned vaporware or got canned altogether.
Glad it's still alive, even though I don't play tabletop much.

That's what I would do if I were making it. Get people to buy the full version by making it generic fantasy, then add DLC for people who want to play a Superhero, Sci-Fi or Modern PnP.

I liked it until the construction part started but then I thought "maybe I can ignore all this" then I read further and realized it was an online game that you have to play with people, disgusting. (Still can't be worse than roll20)

You tried that The Warlock of Firetop Mountain game?

No. I had completely forgotten about that game. Thanks for reminding me.
I remember that it was the "miniature" aesthetics that caught my attention (added to the fact that I was a "Fighting Fantasy" fan when I was a kid). I'm going to try it.
