FAQ

Questions and answers

Accounts, cost, hardware, which games it fits, and what is not built yet.

What is Tabletop?

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?

Sign-up is free. The library is CC0 and the server is self-hostable, so a group can run its 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?

Not yet. Today one screen is the table; groups share it in person or over a screen share. A shared player view is the next planned feature.

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.

Can I use my own models?

Drop .glb files on the window; Draco and meshopt compression are handled. Any image can be a standee token.

Where are my scenes stored?

In your browser (IndexedDB), and you can export any scene as JSON. Accounts store only your email, name and sign-in details.

What hardware do I need?

A modern browser with WebGL 2. Integrated Intel graphics run the low tier fine; discrete GPUs get ambient occlusion, MSAA and 4K shadows.

Can an AI build maps for me?

Yes. The repository includes a scene-recipe format and guides written for AI assistants, so "a ruined temple in a swamp" can become an importable scene.
