FableRealms Questions and Answers
Every great campaign starts with a few questions. Find your bearings, choose your tools, and get back to the story.
Your first adventure
What is FableRealms?
FableRealms is a connected tabletop roleplaying game platform for DMs and players. It brings campaign planning, worldbuilding, party finding, live play, campaign history and player-facing lore into one linked workflow.
Can I use FableRealms for free?
Yes. Adventurer accounts are free, and Storyteller lets a DM run one StoryEngine campaign with core Worldbuilder, Table, GuildHall and Chronicle tools. Realm Master adds more campaigns, storage and advanced campaign-memory features.
Do players have to pay to join a campaign?
No. Players can create an account, browse and apply through GuildHall, join DM-led campaigns and use the player view in Table for free.
Build, play, remember
What does StoryEngine do?
StoryEngine helps DMs structure campaigns with Acts, Chapters and Pages; create linked NPCs, locations, lore and quests; prepare choices and consequences; and record what actually happened as campaign canon.
What is Worldbuilder?
Worldbuilder turns maps and StoryEngine content into playable scenes. DMs can place characters and monsters, draw walls and doors, add lighting and fog, stage encounters, preview the player view and send the scene to Table.
Can FableRealms support online and in-person games?
Yes. Table supports online, in-person, projector and hybrid play, with maps, tokens, walls, doors, lighting, fog, initiative, health, conditions and shared 3D dice.
How do Chronicle and Codex differ?
Chronicle is the campaign's canon history for the DM, including outcomes, choices, discoveries and events. Codex gives each linked player a player-safe view of the people, places, lore, clues and history their character has discovered.
Bring your hero
Can I use my existing character?
Players can create a Hero in Tavern and use it across campaigns. FableRealms also supports linking character information from D&D Beyond where that connection is available.
