Build the battle map in 3D. Play it online with your party.
Shape the ground, dig a river, raise the walls and set painted minis on the table. Then send your players a link: they join from their own browsers and see every move, measurement and roll as it happens.
This is TerrainTale's own renderer running in your browser, drawing a scene from a recipe of 29 steps: a knoll with a ruin, a brook, painted ground, a campfire and a goblin ambush. Drag to look around.
You are the DM here: the goblin scout in the ferns is hidden from players. Switch to the player's view to see what they see.
Build
From an empty table to a battle map in minutes
Everything lands on a 5-foot grid and stands on the ground you shape. No modelling, no image editing, nothing to install.
One drag, one house: the Room tool raises a village and the roofs follow.From an empty grid to a lit crypt, ready to play.
1
Shape the land
Raise hills, cut ridges and flatten a courtyard with the terrain brush. Walls, trees and minis stand on whatever ground you sculpt.
2
Add water
Paint a river, a pond or a stretch of coast. The water carves its own bed, and a river flows the way you drew it.
3
Paint the ground
Grass, mud, gravel and moss go on with a soft brush, free of the grid, and blend into each other the way real ground does.
4
Raise rooms and walls
Drag a rectangle with a room kit and get floor and walls with the corners right. Doorways, arches and windows drop into any wall.
5
Fill it
649 realistic models: photoscanned props, grown trees, furniture and painted minis for the party and the monsters. Premium adds your own .glb files.
Any saved scene becomes a live table. Your browser runs the game, your players join from theirs, and nobody installs anything.

Play mode
Runs the fight like a table does
Press Play and the editor disappears. What is left is the map, Move and Measure, the grid toggle, the top-down view and the initiative tracker. Drag a mini and the ruler counts the feet; Space adds a waypoint so a route around a pillar is charged fairly.
Movement accumulates per turn and shows next to the name
Diagonals your way: 5 ft, 5/10 ft, or true distance
Heights count, on any surface
Pings by double-click, a faint grid you can switch off
The whole table is in the free plan. Premium adds room in your library, up to 200 saved scenes instead of 1, and your own files on the table: imported 3D models and pictures as token portraits. Cancel any time; nothing is deleted.
A browser-based 3D virtual tabletop for D&D and similar games. You build a battle map from a realistic library, then run the fight on it with miniatures, a ruler in feet and an initiative tracker.
Do I need an account?
Yes. The app is available to signed-in users. Sign up with an email and password, a one-time email link, or Google, GitHub or Discord where the host has enabled them.
What does it cost?
The free plan has the whole table and keeps one saved scene in your library, built from the built-in library. Premium keeps up to 200 scenes and imports your own 3D models, for $6 a month or $48 a year; nothing else is gated, and cancelling never deletes a scene. Prices and the refund policy are on the pricing page. The server is also self-hostable, with no billing at all on your own copy.
Does it have rules automation?
No. It tracks HP, conditions, initiative and movement and measures distance, but does not roll attacks or resolve rules.
Does it support remote play?
Yes. Share a saved scene by link; players sign in, ask to join, and once let in they see the table live and can drag their own miniatures. There is no voice, video or chat built in, so pair it with a call; the DM can brush fog over rooms players have not reached.
Which systems does it fit?
Anything on a 5-foot square grid: D&D of every edition, Pathfinder, most OSR games. The diagonal rule is a setting.
Open the builder and start, no account needed. Sixteen starter scenes are on the welcome screen; sign up free when you want to save one or play it with your group.
