Hey friends,

I'm excited to share something that's been in the works for a while now – the Tall Tavern beta is now open! It's a tool designed for those of us who love diving into tabletop RPGs, creating worlds, and telling stories with friends. It's less about stats, more about story... and it automates a lot of prep work that would otherwise take time and attention away from the fun stuff.

The Backstory

After experimenting with AI in running TTRPG sessions, it became clear that while AI can handle some things well, it's no replacement for a bonafide human GM. That's where the idea for Tall Tavern came from. It's not about replacing the game master; it's about giving them the tools to make their job easier and the game more enjoyable for everyone.

Getting Started Is Easy

With Tall Tavern, setting up your campaign is straightforward. Choose a name, pick your TTRPG system and setting, and you're off. We've made sure the interface is clean and simple, so you can get to the fun part without hassle.

Keeping the Crew Together

Inviting players to your campaign is just as easy. A couple of clicks and your party is ready to go. It's all about removing barriers to play, so you can focus on the adventure.

Never Miss a Moment

We all know that sometimes the best parts of a session can get lost in the excitement. That's why Tall Tavern has a recording feature. It captures everything, so you can revisit those epic moments anytime. It's also great for keeping track of the story as it unfolds.

 

Creativity Unleashed

As game masters, we create tons of NPCs, monsters, items, and locations. We used to search the internet to find images that were close enough, and we probably didn't even have time to check if the image was copyrighted. But Tall Tavern will change all of that. Need a character, monster, or item? Just describe it, and Tall Tavern will create a draft for you, complete with visuals and backstory. It's all about fleshing out your world and ideas faster.

 

Join Us

We're launching the open beta for Tall Tavern today, and I'd love for you to check it out. It's more than just an app; it's a tool to enhance your TTRPG storytelling. We're also setting up a Discord server for users to share stories, tips, and feedback. This is a community app, and my hope is that the TTRPG community will share their feedback so we can tailor development to be the TTRPG app you've always wanted.

So, if you're into TTRPGs and looking for something to make your sessions even better, give Tall Tavern a try. Let's build some great stories together.
