download the new version for mac Tabletop Playground

However, I found this platform to have a lot of limitations. It works well for simple card games and other games with few components that can be played using a top-down view. Screentop.gg is a 2D tabletop gaming platform, similar to Tabletopia in many ways. So, there are some nuances here that aren’t ideal, but it is still better than some of the alternatives. If you go the download route, they have to re-download if you make any changes. You also need to either ask everyone to subscribe to your game or have them download the package.

In TTS, you can simply add new components on the fly, even if you haven’t uploaded them previously. The most frustrating aspect is that if you forgot to upload even one item, you must close out a game, upload the item, add it to the mod, and then re-load. However, I did find a few things that were either frustrating or unintuitive about this platform that I can share here. I’ve started to use TTP recently and I hope to write a more in-depth article on how to create your own game in TTP sometime in the future. This is a relatively new platform (introduced in 2020), so it doesn’t have nearly the same user base as TTS or Tabletopia, but I expect this will grow over time. It uses the more common JavaScript, while TTS employs the lesser-used Lua language. There are a lot of similar features and shortcut keys, with some features even going beyond what TTS has available. You can even import your TTS games directly into TTP, which makes transitioning between platforms a lot easier (although the import doesn’t work for everything). Of all the alternatives I have tried or looked into, TTP is the platform that most closely resembles TTS.
