TaleSpire

TaleSpire is not a video game, but rather a powerful tool to create virtual versions of tabletop RPGs and play with other players. The project was developed by Bouncyrock Entertainment studio, and its creation was possible thanks to, among others, successful crowdfunding on Kickstarter.

Mechanics

TaleSpire is not limited by the rules of any existing RPG; nor is it tied to a specific universe. It's up to the players themselves to set the rules of the game and to decide whether their campaign will take place in a fantasy universe, a sci-fi universe, or a world mixing elements of both. It is also up to the game masters to fill the boards on which the game will take place with rich content and to run the narrative. They have a lot of possibilities, as the authors give them hundreds of figurines and props, as well as special tools that allow them to present the action in a truly cinematic way and, for example, select shots, manipulate lighting and even change the soundtrack. What's interesting is that multiple players can share the role of gamemaster and work together to both create the world and carry out the actual gameplay.
