How does Tomeus work?

Tomeus is a virtual tabletop for playing tabletop RPGs online. The game master prepares scenes with an image and a soundtrack, invites the players, and the whole table meets in the browser to play together, with nothing to install.

This page walks you through it step by step, from the game master's side and from the players' side. It takes about a minute to create your first game, and a few more clicks to start the first scene.

For the game master. Prepare and run.

The game
Create a game

Give your game a name and an image. It holds your scenes and your players, and it stays available from one session to the next.

The scenes
Add your scenes

A scene is a place or a moment in the story: a tavern, a crypt, a chase. Prepare the ones for the session in advance, or improvise a new scene mid game.

The image
Show an illustration

Upload your own image or pick one from the built in galleries. It shows up instantly for every player and sets the stage before the first word of description.

The music
Pick a soundtrack

Attach a track from the catalog to each scene. When you switch scenes, the music switches with it, with nothing to start by hand.

The invitation
Invite your players

Add each player's email address from the game. They receive an invitation link and join the table in one click, up to four players per game.

The session
Run the session

Move from one scene to the next in one click, talk to your table and follow the dice rolls in the chat. You stay in control of what the players see and hear.

For the players. Join and play.

The account
Create a free account

An email address and a password are all it takes. The Adventurer plan is free and perfectly suited for playing.

The character
Create your character

Choose a name and an image for your character. This is who you join the games you are invited to with.

The table
Join the game

Open the invitation link you received by email. You land straight in the current scene, with the image and music chosen by the game master.

The audio
Talk to the table

Audio is built in, so there is no other app to open on the side. Webcam is available with the Archmage plan to play face to face.

The dice
Roll the dice

Rolls happen right inside the game and are shown to the whole table. No more doubts about the result, no more dice rolling under the couch.

The chat
Write in the chat

For an aside, a rule to check or a joke between two scenes, the chat stays open next to the game.

Nothing to install. Everything in the browser.

Tomeus runs entirely in the browser. No software to download, no extension, no server to host: the game master and the players open a web page, and the game is right there.

Images, music, audio, dice and chat all live in the same place. No more juggling a video call app, a music player and a dice website: the whole table fits in a single tab.

Everything you need. Nothing more.

The philosophy. More play.

Today, virtual tabletops demand too much setup before you even start playing. Too much configuration, too many menus, too much time wasted before the first scene.

Tomeus starts from the opposite end: a game is created in a minute, a scene in a few clicks, and nothing is asked of you until the game actually needs it. No grid to align, no sheet to program, no extension to install: an image, a track, a link, and the table is ready. The time you do not spend configuring is time you spend playing.

Frequently asked questions.

What do I need to install to play on Tomeus?

Nothing. Tomeus runs directly in the browser. The game master and the players open the website, log in and join the game, with no download and no extension.

How much does Tomeus cost?

The Adventurer plan is free: 10 scenes, a selection of music and illustrations, and audio to talk to your table. The Archmage plan, at 4.99 USD per month with no commitment, unlocks 2000 scenes, the full catalogs, more playtime and webcam.

How many players can join a game?

A game welcomes up to four players in addition to the game master. That is the ideal size for a tabletop RPG table: everyone gets time to play, and scenes keep their pace.

How do my players join the game?

You invite them by email from the game. Each player creates a free account and a character, then opens the invitation link to enter the game. Their character stays available for the following sessions.
