Welcome to FabletopWhat is Fabletop?Virtual Tabletop RPG. Fabletop is a tabletop roleplaying game that is played in your browser. Built-in Ruleset. Unlike other roleplaying apps, Fabletop has a built-in universal rules system. This has the following benefits:
Freeform Gameplay. The Fabletop rules system enables a freeform style of gameplay. It puts the emphasis on storytelling and cinematic action, instead of rules and stats. This means:
Chat-Based RoleplayingIn-Character Chat. The chat window is where you roleplay all of your character's actions and dialogue. Here are some of the shortcuts you can use:
Out-of-Character (OOC) Chat. You will sometimes need to ask questions about the game itself (e.g. "What traits should I use here?"). But once the game begins, try to limit OOC chat as much as possible to keep everyone immersed in the story. Use Your Imagination. The best Fabletop sessions have chatlogs that are fun to read long after the game ends. Seek to entertain the other players with your dialogue and descriptions -- they are your audience! Example Gameplay
I'm going to try and distract the guard.
-- walks confidently up to the guard -- Hey mate, the captain says he needs to see you right away. -- scowls -- I don't recognize you... Remember what happened last time you disobeyed the captain? Roll to see if you can persuade him Wisdom → ![]() ![]() He's not that smart, so 1 Star is enough... -- rushes away -- Alright, alright, I'm on my way! |
