What it is

GameScape is a shared, real-time online map for tabletop role-playing games. It gives a group a digital surface for marking maps and moving tokens, similar to grid paper with physical pieces. The service runs on the web and supports Android and iOS. It is designed as a second screen and supports mobile, touch, and stylus input. Players can open a map from its URL without an account, while the map creator or game master needs an account with a verified email address. Each account includes a demo map and hand-drawn tutorial. Token trails report total movement rounded to the nearest five feet. Image uploads can provide a background layer. GameScape concentrates on mapping and drawing rather than character sheets or dice rollers. Player drawing tools have been described as a possible future feature. The Free plan costs nothing, and the current feature set is intended to remain free.
