Forget pen and paper, or just put it aside for when you really need it. It gets closer every time TaleSpire, a new virtual platform with which to enjoy your tabletop role-playing games in a unique way. Without a doubt, the dream of all those who grew up surrounded by dragons and dungeons, paper tiles and multi-sided dice.
TaleSpire, create your own tabletop role-playing game
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. It may be that you have gone to live in another city or that due to work issues it is no longer easy to find a place to play. For this reason and for other more current reasons that prevent meeting to play live, many have sought alternatives to take their role-playing games to the online world. For example, with solutions like roll20. But if you still haven't found one that fully convinces you, keep an eye out for TaleSpire.
TaleSpire is really nothing new, we already learned of its existence in 2019 when they launched a Kickstarter campaign looking for funding. This was a complete success and after several months of work its official launch should be closer than ever. But first, what is it or what does this really propose? virtual gaming platform created by Bouncyrock.
Well, after watching the video above, it is possible that it has already become clear to you. TaleSpire is kind of a 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 so that you can then 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 frankly spectacular.. So much so that it is quite a spectacle when you know the multiple possibilities that its editor offers. 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 place them in a model, on a perfectly set board. Although here it is much better because of the possibilities it offers when it comes to creating even different types of atmospheric situations. Not counting the expansion sets in which its developers are working and those that could arrive once the player community is on the mark.
TaleSpire launch
As we have said, the game achieved financing in 2019 and on Steam it indicates 2020 as the year of release. Taking into account that there are only four months left 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 what you see may or may not change in the final version. In one way or another, whether you are going to play it now or later, it is worth keeping track if you are in love with board games and more particularly role-playing games. Just looking at the images and the development journal that they publish on the official website makes you want to create your own bard, dwarf or wizard and go out to explore those fantasy worlds that you like so much.
