Free Virtual Tabletop RPG

Welcome to Fabletop

What is Fabletop?

Virtual Tabletop RPG. Fabletop is a tabletop roleplaying game that you play in your browser.

Built-in Ruleset. Unlike most virtual tabletops, Fabletop includes its own streamlined rules system. Everything you need to play is built right in.

  • Character sheets, dice, and chat all work together.
  • The rules are uniquely designed for a chat-based interface.
  • It's easy to join any game hosted in the community.

Freeform Gameplay. The Fabletop system emphasizes storytelling and cinematic action instead of rules and stats. This means you can:

  • Play almost any genre or character.
  • Focus on storytelling instead of mechanics.
  • Spend less time looking up rules.

Chat-Based Roleplaying

Storytelling Through Text. With text roleplaying, there are no graphics limitations. If you can imagine it, you can describe it via the written word.

The best Fabletop games become stories that you can enjoy re-reading long after the adventure ends.

In-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:

Emote -- slowly draws dagger from cloak
Emote + Chat Well met, friend!   -- Smiles --
Whisper ( hmm, we'll see about that )
Think Bubble oo Where the heck are we?

Out-of-Character (OOC) Chat. This is the default mode, where you talk about the game itself. (e.g. "What traits should I use here?").

💡 Tip: After the game begins, try to limit OOC chat as much as possible so everyone stays immersed in the story.

Example Gameplay

pete12:I'm going to try and distract the guard.
Salius:-- walks confidently up to the guard --
 Hey mate, the captain says he needs to see you right away.
Guard:-- scowls -- I don't recognize you...
GM:Roll Wisdom to see if you persuade him
Salius:Wisdom →
GM:He's not that smart, so 1 Star is enough...
Guard:-- rushes away -- Alright, alright, I'm on my way!
