Getting started

RPG Desk is a virtual tabletop for RPGs. The group meets in a room: they talk in the chat or by voice, roll dice (in 3D, for everyone to see), keep the characters’ sheets and explore the adventure’s map. It runs in the browser, with nothing to install, on a phone too.

A RPG Desk room: the library on the left, the chat in the middle with narration and a roll, and the participants on the right, with the characters' health and energy bars.
A session in progress: library, chat and participants.
