TaleSpire

Extremely useful and the toolsets are well implemented. Perfect for any RPG.

I'm a bit conflicted on this. I've been a DM for ten years and primarily have worked with Forge, and I've used other tools such as Dungeon Alchemist and array of other mapping tools. I'd say give this some time to bake a bit further, but it's still EA and it's been kicking about since 2021. I think this tool is a great idea, I truly do, and the tool does have good implementations and features. However, there's many basic features that you'd expect out of a VTT or mapping tool, that just isn't here. Couple it with the fact you'll have to use another tool to facilitate any rule set. Yeah, you can self-calculate everything, but that kind of detracts from having a VTT. The implementation also feels clunky at times, where kind of expected user experience isn't there... For example, you can select a group of tiles, instead of being able to drag and drop that group, I have to cut the group to move it? I also can't delete the grouping by hitting delete, but I have to cut it and then right click to delete it? I'm nit picking but, it just kind of shows how the logic is kind of, off. There is no sizing, there are no decals, there is no drawing. There's no text tools. You also can't tint or change the lighting of objects. I tried importing several magic circles from the community content, and the things were so damn bright it hurt to look at. A lot of details I could add via a 2D VTT, I just can't replicate in this tool. Nor are there assets available to fill that void.

Really cool, useful, and easy to use tool once you learn and become familiar with the controls. I got this program years ago and back then they didn't have many assets and so I found it to be promising but needing more. Yesterday the topic of needing a 3d map came up and I remembered Tale Spire and wanted to revisit it. I think that It has grown an incredible amount and now has enough assets(and a community library) and functionality to suit my needs. I like it a lot. It's very easy to quickly throw an idea together, and the amount of features directly tied to the minis are phenomenal. My downsides/critiques: - This is my biggest and most frustrating gripe and what motivated me to write this review: I dont understand why network access is required in order to use the program. I am writing this as the network went down while I was in the middle of building out a board. No other players in my session and not using or browsing community content. So now I can't work on my project. I think I would prefer to have it be offline by default and have to connect to the network when I am inviting + hosting players or wanting to view community assets. - I wish there was an anchor point in the selection cubes that you can make, both just for selection and the ones that obscure assets from the board as a kind of fog of war. I've made a couple of these shapes and don't mind the way you have to grab the sides to change the shape, but I wish there was a central anchor point to be able to pick up and move the whole thing as an established piece so I don't have to fiddle with it as much if I need to adjust the placement. - Slightly related to this, I am not sure if it already exists as a feature but it I couldn't figure out a way to do it if so-it would be nice if I could change the vertical direction of the cone ruler. As far as I can tell the cone ruler only moves and displays on the horizontal plane it is drawn on, and thus can not emulate a character aiming up into the sky or down from a cliff. - I really like that you can noclip assets into eachother and make non-mini assets into minis. I wish that you could resize assets the same way you can resize minis, and I wish there was the ability to have finer grid snapping. As it is, the "default" tile size of the grid is 2x2. Floor tiles are very forgiving about overlapping eachother but vertical/wall tiles and doors do not like snapping into .5x.5 unit spaces across the 2x2 grid border. There are many .5x.5 size wall pieces so this can be worked around, but its just a little bit of extra friction that feels unnecessary. - 1x1 tiles are actually 1x1 OR .5 x .5. I am assuming the way that an asset is assigned 1x1 vs 2x2 is due to the fact that a default size mini fits into a 1x1 space, but going by the way that assets can be placed a 1x1 tile is actually 2x2 placeable tile units of space. You can see this in their preview images on this store page, there are walls listed as both being 1x1, but they are visibly different sizes. Overall this is a nonissue and doesnt really impact my ability to use the program at all. Its just a little odd. - As far as I could tell there is no way to customize the look of your dice. I am not expecting any crazy texturing but it would be nice to be able to choose the colors of my die.

Um jogo bem legal para montar cenários para fantasia medieval, com recursos em quantidade razoável para época moderna, me parece promissor conforme continuar se desenvolvendo e adicionando novas peças. Tudo é feito em blocos, o que demanda esforço ao se tratar de construir terreno e elevação, construção e vegetação. Não tenho tempo para isso, então vou pedir reembolso, mas recomendo para quem se diverte com esse processo.

Great for building realistic battlefields where positioning and range matter. Very cool

No better tool for D&D Exists. I only own one copy and use it for my in-person game of 5-6 players. Some of the players bought seats, and even bring a steam deck to control their characters during my narrative! I wish steam deck controls were better implemented, but this is one of the greatest tools. Even if you have no incentive to spend hours building maps, entire chunks or game boards that people put dozens to hundreds of hours into are available for import through the game and even on talestavern online if you want to import boards with just one click! The potential for homebrew characters is limitless, you can download very many actor models , much more than I can ever financially attain realistically.
