Your saved games are on your computer
The host’s computer is the server, and each saved game is one file on it. You can back it up, move it to another computer or open it later, and none of that needs our service.
Joining is free
You don’t need an account to join a game. A membership raises the limits on the tables you host and adds cloud storage.
Game systems are files
Each game system is a file the app reads, so no game’s rules are built into the app. The free 5th Edition rules, 2024 and 2014, come with it, along with two starter games. For another game, or your own, make a game system in the in-app editor. See what’s included.
Hosting works behind a home router
Install the app, sign in and press Host Game. Even if your router blocks incoming connections, your game appears in the server browser, because players connect through our service. A private game isn’t listed, so you send its code instead.
What it does not do
- Someone has to host
- The table is up only while the host’s computer is on. For a game that is always up, use a hosted service.
- No macro language
- Game systems are data, and a game system you download can’t run code on your computer. Complex automation isn’t available or planned.
- Rough edges
- Maps, fog, combat, inventory and money all work. The in-app game system editor is new.
- No macOS build yet
- Hosting needs Windows or Linux. Mac players can join from a browser.
