Classical TTRPGs are amazing, but they have huge pain points. I'm building Hallowshard to resolve them.

Hallowshard combines elements of TTRPGs and VTTs. The idea of digital TTRPGs isn't new, but I'm taking a different path from usual.

  • Made to play with real people, with a GM, over the table or online
  • On the surface it's an app with character sheets. But synchronized to other players, the GM, and simulating the whole game world
  • Mechanics are optimized for rich emotional experience and roleplay. For example, the biology system allows wounds to have meaningful effects
  • It handles all game mechanics automatically, giving more time for roleplay
  • Aiming to integrate with existing VTTs
  • As free from corporate influence as I can make it

I will post more details as Hallowshard gets closer to a playable state. Stay tuned.
