Forget the pencil and paper, or just put it aside for when you really need it. TaleSpire is getting closer and closer , a new virtual platform with which to enjoy your tabletop role-playing games in a unique way. Without a doubt, the dream of everyone who grew up surrounded by dragons and dungeons, paper tokens and multi-sided dice.
TaleSpire, create your own tabletop RPG
Many of us have grown up with tabletop role-playing games . A leisure option that even today continues to attract thousands and thousands of players around the world. And we are not surprised, because they are really fun, they make you have a great time with friends and because the limitations on them are only imposed by the players themselves and the master. But if you find the ideal group, you are guaranteed fun for years.
However, sometimes it is not easy for other reasons. You may have gone to live in another city or because of work issues it is no longer easy to find a space to play. For this reason and for other more current reasons that prevent them from meeting to play live, many have looked for alternatives to take their role-playing games to the online world. For example, with solutions like Roll20 . But if you haven’t found one that convinces you yet, pay attention to TaleSpire.
TaleSpire is not really anything new, we already learned of its existence in 2019 when they launched a Kickstarter campaign in search of funding. This was a great success and after several months of work its official launch should be closer than ever. But first, what is or what does this virtual gaming platform created by Bouncyrock really propose?
Well, after watching the video above it is possible that it has already been clear to you. TaleSpire is a kind of mix between games like Hero Quest and the Dungeons and Dragons books . It is a virtual platform that allows you to create your own boards and then be able to play them and enjoy your adventures with friends over the internet.
Of course, these boards are not something basic as a simple visual reference. The level of detail that can be achieved is downright spectacular . So much so that it is quite a show when you know the multiple possibilities offered by its editor. A tool that, to give you an idea of the possibilities it offers, allows you to create boards up to 30 km long and 10 km high .
When creating these boards the process is as simple as if in real life you started to take all kinds of elements out of a box and put them in a model, on a perfectly set board. Although here it is much better because of the possibilities it offers when creating even different types of atmospheric situations. Not counting on the expansion sets that its developers work on and those that could arrive once the gaming community gets underway.
TaleSpire, launch
As we have said, the game achieved financing in 2019 and on Steam 2020 is indicated as the launch year . Taking into account that there are only four months until the end of the year (what a year) the truth is that it should not take much longer.
However, the game can be accessed with early access, although it warns that it may or may not be seen to change in the final version. One way or another, whether you are going to play it now or later, it is worth keeping track of it if you are in love with board games and more particularly role-playing games. Just looking at the images and the development diary published on the official website makes you want to create your bard, dwarf or wizard and go out and explore those fantasy worlds that you love so much.
