Tableward is a live companion tool for tabletop RPGs. Show your players the map, the monsters, and the moment — while you stay in control behind the screen.
No credit card. Free during beta. Cancel by closing the tab.
"Tabletop RPGs are about people sitting around a table — or a Discord call — telling a story together. We don't want to replace any of that. We want to take the boring parts off the DM's plate so the good stuff has more room to breathe."
Tableward isn't a map builder or a content factory. It's where the content you already have — maps, images, video — becomes playable. Add fog, drop tokens, place a few props, and run the scene. One-shot or full campaign, it's the notebook open in front of you while the dice are rolling.
Wherever you play, the job is the same: you stay focused on the game, and Tableward handles the admin so the session runs smooth and immersive.
You run the session from a laptop or tablet. A TV on the wall — or a projector onto the table — shows the live player view: the map, the tokens, the fog peeling back as the party walks into the room. You keep the DM panel; they get the spectacle.
Stand a spare monitor or tablet in the middle of the table and let it carry the context your players need — initiative order, party sheet, the villain's portrait, the current map. Your DM panel stays private; everything they should see stays in sync.
Share the player link with everyone. They open it in a browser — no account, no install. As you reveal map sections, place tokens, or zoom into a creature's portrait, they see it live.
Only what's live in the app today. The workbench section below covers what's still being shaped.
Real screenshots from a session in progress — click an image to enlarge, or use the arrows to browse.
Fog of war, initiative, conditions, second-screen preview — everything you reach for during a session, one click away.
The beta is free during this phase. AI features are limited per week so we can keep the lights on while we build. We'll be honest about what's stable and what's still being shaped.
Describe a monster, get a portrait. Goodbye, googling for art mid-session.
Drop a chest, a torch, a stone circle — conjured straight from a prompt.
A cinematic opener for your players. A written recap after the game.
A red flicker for fire. A thunderclap on cue. A music shift when combat starts.
Save a whole atmosphere — music, light, sound — and switch with one click.
Push initiative updates, session recaps, or turn reminders straight to your server's channel.
You shouldn't need a degree in software to run your first game. Tableward gives you a single place to keep your maps, your monsters, and your player view. The interface stays out of your way so you can stay in the story.
You've already got your prep workflow. We slot into it — bring your own maps, your own art, your own tokens. We just make the night smoother: live sync to the player screen, an initiative tracker that doesn't fight you, fog of war that actually feels good to use.
You don't need an account. Your DM sends a link, you click it, you see the map. Phone, tablet, TV — anywhere. Especially helpful if you're new to the hobby: the visuals make the world easier to picture, and combat much easier to follow.
Tableward is free while we're in beta. There are fair-use limits — generous enough for a weekly campaign, tight enough that no single user can run up our hosting bill. When we leave beta, we'll introduce a paid tier for heavy users and AI features.
