T-TRPG A "Tablet"-Top Virtual Table Top Game Engine!

Miah's Virtual "Tablet"-top RPG Engine

Welcome, and thank you for checking this out! First and foremost, this project is a massive learning experience for me. I am DEFINITELY breaking things as I build, but if you want to be part of this journey with me, I am absolutely thrilled to have you here.

Before we dive in, I want to be completely transparent about a few things:

This is a passion project. It is built out of pure love for gaming and creativity.

I am an aspiring game developer. I have been a database developer and IT professional for decades, but I have never tried to build or ship games, nor have I worked at a gaming company. I have always wanted to build my own games, and since becoming disabled, I decided to pour my available spare time and energy into making this dream a reality.

I am building for
>>> casual accessibility <<<
and pure FUN! FUN! FUN! the elements that modern gaming seems to have lost.

I tried getting into traditional D&D and tabletop gaming, but I couldn't bring myself to commit the massive amount of time required to learn the rulebooks. My brain can only hold so much information and its full of investing and development information, I simply do not have the CAPACITY to add hundreds of rules and information I dont NEED into my skull... I also struggled with the concept of people saying DND IS GREAT!!! "You can do whatever you imagine!" — Causally leaving out the... only if the DM agrees, and... the rules allow it, and... the players agree, and... the alignments work... and... dice rolls... I think you get the point.

My goal is to have my OWN take on the tabletop model molding it into something highly palatable for the masses, not just hardcore players, I want my grandma to play with my neices and nephews, I want my cousin to play with their kids, I want your uncle to hang out with me and NOT feel overwhelmed by tons of rules and etiquette and this and that... just a fun geek out session using imagination and LOOSE rules. I am coining it "T-TRPG" (Tablet-Top Role-Playing Game). Since I am building this with phones to be used as controllers and tablets and stylus pens as character sheets in mind, I want to integrate console controllers as well so the gamer gamers can play too. Most importantly, I want this to be a 100% web-based experience:

- NOT an app you have to install that harvests your private information.
- NOT software polluted with adult content, intrusive DRM, or licensing lockouts.
- NOT a subscription service or a platform forcing you to re-buy things you already own.

This will be 100% free-to-play for anyone. BUILT MY WAY... I know free-to-play games have a stigma for attracting trolls, but I have systems in mind to keep that to a minimum. I hope you will be on board with a game that anyone, anywhere, on any screen can play—alone or with friends and ALWAYS making new friends along the way.

The Ultimate Goal

This project has one core focus: building a Virtual "Tablet"-Top (VTT) Engine where absolutely anyone can easily write a story, then build a world around it, and let others play in it. Import a map, draw some borders add some components and let er rip! Then ping your buddies on PC, on phones, on tablets, on consoles — ALL to join in! I don't care what screen you are on, I want you to be able to play! I want to capture the thrill and magic of role-playing with dice and make it accessible to everyone: kids, veteran TTRPG players, and curious newcomers alike.

How You Can Help

I am about six months into this project, and I feel like I have made some great progress. However, I need more help. Not with coding—I need players and builders! I need reasonable suggestions, comments, and feedback. If you just want to troll or complain, this isn't the place for you. But if you are interested in providing constructive feedback to help grow this into something great, or if you just want to stay in the loop, I am happy to share what I am doing. Use the form below to reach out and let me know a little about yourself.

What I need right now:

Map-Making GMs: Creators who want to use the engine to build and design worlds.

Playtesters: Players willing to jump in and break my single-player maps so I can improve them.

NOTE: I have temporarily removed open registration. Please request a login below for either a Playtester account (where you will explore the maps that Map-Making GMs build) or a Map-Making GM account (which gives you access to the GM tools). I will respond directly and meet with you first. I am not looking for people who are too busy or just want a free game; this is a bug hunt, a cleanup, and preparation for launch. There is no set release date—it will launch when it is ready. I want to build a strong community first, and then give this away.
