Before the game

Prep a one-shot for people you just met.

New table, new faces, one evening. Tableward gets everyone to the same starting line before the first roll.

Send one link: players pick a date, then claim a ready-made hero or make their own.

Plan the session in one go: title, opening scene, artwork and the maps you'll need.

An intro the whole table hears together — a cinematic opener on the big screen.

Your notes, the party and the world, in one journal that's ready when you sit down.

During the game

You keep the screen behind the screen. They get the spectacle.

Run everything from your laptop or tablet. The table screen shows only what you publish — the map, the fog peeling back, the villain's portrait, whose turn it is.

Most tables

A screen laid flat

Lay a TV or monitor flat and put your minis right on the map. The turn order faces every side.

Maps

Not a map maker. A way to get the most from your maps.

Bring the maps you already love — bought, drawn, downloaded. Tableward makes them play.

Restyle a map to match your campaign — painterly, ink, gothic, storybook. It's saved as a new map; the original stays.

Animate it: water ripples, torches flicker, smoke drifts — the rest of the map stays sharp.

Video maps: drop in an animated map or a looping scene and it plays on the TV.

Line up the grid, crop and rotate in the browser. Fog of war reveals rooms as the party walks in.

One scene, five campaign styles. Every map, portrait and intro image follows the style you pick.

Battle mode

Fights that move fast and stay readable.

Roll initiative for everyone, track HP and conditions on the tokens, and let the TV show whose turn it is — so new players never lose the thread.

Group enemies — three scavengers, one row — and damage them together.

Tap a token for a keypad: damage, heal, and conditions like poisoned, prone or concentrating — shown on the token for everyone.

Spotlight a monster on the TV when it steps out of the dark.

After the game Closed beta

Put a phone on the table. Get the story back.

Tableward records the evening, splits it into scenes and writes the recap — the people you met, the places you went, the loot, the clues nobody followed up.

One tap adds a name or a clue to your journal. Nothing lands there without you.

Fix the transcript by chatting: "it's Grimnir, not Grimner" fixes every line.

Next time, the recap becomes the intro your players hear at the start.

Questions

What DMs ask us.

Is this a map maker or a VTT?

Neither, really. Tableward is for showing your world at the table. Bring your own maps and make them play — restyle, animate, add fog, tokens and drawings.

What do I need at the table?

A laptop or tablet for you, and a TV or any screen the players can see. Wi-Fi for both.

Do my players need an account?

No. They open a link — to see the map, or to claim a hero.

Which games does it work with?

Anything with maps, tokens and turns: D&D 5e, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, your homebrew.

Is the recording private?

It stays in your session. You decide what goes into the journal.

Your next table is waiting.

Set up your first session tonight. It's free during the beta.
