Taverne, an ambience console for tabletop RPGs
Taverne lets game masters prepare scenes and coordinate music, visuals, sound effects, and optional lighting around an in-person roleplaying table.
- For
- Game masters running in-person tabletop RPGs
- Worth noticing
- Scenes can be prepared by campaign, then fired as sequences or sound effects; local scenes and media work offline.
Field notes
Preparation is organized around campaigns and scenes: each scene can pair an image with music and prepared actions, while templates and undo/redo support editing. During play, the user can trigger a scene, step through GO/WAIT sequences, or fire a sound effect; the player display follows while private notes stay on the game master's side. The page identifies the pictured build as Taverne 0.10.6 and says local scenes and media work without an internet connection; online media and managed services require one.
