Realistic 3D tabletop, no download
TaleSpire proved that players love a 3D board. Tabletop takes the same premise into a web page with a realistic rather than stylised look: scanned materials, photogrammetry props and a lighting model tuned for a miniature table.

Your own miniatures
Hero Forge, Meshy and Sketchfab exports drop straight onto the table. The library adds rigged KayKit characters and a large set of scanned props, all CC0.
Fast to build
A room in one drag, a tavern from a template, a forest from a scatter op. You are dressing the scene within a minute of opening it.
Where TaleSpire is still the better pick
A remote party in one shared board, a polished stylised look, and a large community of shared builds. Tabletop is single-screen today.
Questions
