TTRPGs also tend to be more enjoyable when the game master doesn't railroad their players and leans into improv even when it drags into unknown territories. In fact, it’s been studied that over-preparing for a game can be just as bad, if not worse, than under-preparing. Some of the best games we've run involve chasing players' wacky ideas into unexpected directions where only a quick scribble of dry erase markers and random minis are available to visualize.

So why then do most tools to play TTRPGs online think players need elaborate tabletops with an abundance of features and advanced customization? Why is video conferencing, ambiance, and roleplaying treated as an afterthought? It shouldn’t be.

SendingStone thinks different. We want to put the RP back in online TTRPGs by providing video conferencing worthy of fantasy roleplaying supplemented by a simple virtual tabletop. SendingStone cares about the things that make roleplaying and collaborative storytelling feel magical.
