TaleSpire
TaleSpire is an online tabletop for playing pen-and-paper role-playing games with friends. Game Masters and players can construct and revise campaign boards as a session unfolds, with updates synchronized in real time. The core game does not prescribe a ruleset; it is designed for games played on a square grid with standard seven-set RPG dice. Tools include dice, rulers, area markers and emotes, as well as modes for turn-based combat and cinematic sequences. Up to 16 players can be online in a campaign, and multiple players can receive Game Master privileges to build together. Players can browse and upload slabs through in-game mod.io, and share creations through TalesBazaar and TalesTavern. Symbiotes can interact with the game through an API. The free Guest Edition lets users join a campaign when a one-time seat is available, even if its owner is offline; guests cannot create campaigns or buy seats. The full game costs $24.99, paid once, with no subscription for the base game or server access. Official support covers Windows and Apple Silicon macOS; Linux works under Proton 7 and later but is not fully supported.
