What Shard Tabletop is

Shard Tabletop is a web-based virtual tabletop and character sheet for fifth edition roleplaying games. Players can create characters, join campaigns, play, and track progress in one integrated tool on any device. Gamemasters can build campaigns and adventures, invite players, and run games online or in person. Campaigns keep character details, the map and fog state, encounter state, non-player characters, and a campaign log together. The tabletop includes shared maps and a combat tracker for turns and initiative. Creators can make adventures, monsters, classes, races, and other supported material, organize it into books, and package it for sharing or sale. Users can import DOCX files made in Microsoft Word or Google Docs. Extensions add languages, skills, character options, and restrictions to customize character sheets. The marketplace includes subscriptions and first-party content, along with setting-neutral and Cerulia material. The free plan costs nothing and includes the Complete 5th edition SRD, tokens for over 300 monsters, and starter adventures. Paid plans start at $19.99/yr. Shard chat supports basic campaign messaging and sharing actionable game information, but is not intended to include every feature of dedicated messaging applications.

Who it suits

Verdict

Shard Tabletop brings campaign organization, character sheets, shared maps, and content creation into one tool. Its chat is not a replacement for every dedicated messaging feature, and paid plans start at $19.99/yr.
