Arcane Circle
Arcane Circle is a web platform for finding, joining, organizing and running tabletop roleplaying games.
What Arcane Circle is
Arcane Circle is a web platform for finding, joining, organizing and running tabletop roleplaying games. Players can filter game listings by schedule and join one-shots, limited series or ongoing campaigns across major TTRPG systems. Game masters can manage bookings, schedules and payments, plan sessions, manage players and build a reputation through reviews. Creating a game generates a campaign wiki, while templates help game masters relist games. The web-native virtual tabletop combines dice, maps, fog of war and theater-of-the-mind play in one window. Its wiki links characters, factions, places and lore. Character sheets provide guided builders for supported systems and freeform sheets for others; character art can be turned into a VTT token. Tools required for a session depend on the game master, and listings identify any required software, which may include Roll20, video calls or Discord. Game masters set prices shown on listings, with players charged at the start of each session. Stripe processes payments, and Arcane Circle says it does not see or store players’ credit card details. The service starts at $2.99/mo; users must be at least 18 or the legal age of majority where they live.
