TABLETOPFX BY EVERNIGHT REALMS

Make the table feel alive.

Project light, effects and sound onto your physical table—with private Game Master controls.

Apply for Beta AccessSee How It Works

Local desktop application · Separate DM and projector displays · Built for physical terrain

Keep the terrain. Add the magic.

TabletopFX does not replace miniatures, scenery or the shared table. It adds a responsive layer of light, motion and atmosphere around them.

Calibrate the projection—not your terrain

Align any compatible projector setup to your physical table and grid. Four-corner perspective controls help angled installs without moving scenery.

Place light exactly where the story happens

Select a grid cell and place torches, moonlight, arcane glows and beacons directly on the battlefield from the private DM view.

Let spells and environments move

Add animated fire, drifting fog, magical wisps and creature flyovers to the projected table—without interrupting play at the table.

More capabilities

  • Build the atmosphere with sound

    Layer looping ambience beneath one-shot cues such as thunder, spell casts and dramatic stings.

  • A grid that follows the encounter

    Display a projected grid, highlight cells and position lights and effects with the same spatial structure used for movement.

  • Build reusable terrain masks

From blank table to living battlefield

  1. Step 1: Project

    Connect a compatible projector and open the separate projection output. The DM interface stays on your main screen while the table receives a clean battlefield view.

    Project — TabletopFX workflow step

  2. Step 2: Place Terrain

    Set table and projector dimensions, align the grid, and adjust the four projection corners until the image follows your physical terrain.

    Place Terrain — TabletopFX workflow step

  3. Step 3: Play

    Select cells, place lighting, trigger animated effects, and layer ambient sound while players stay focused on miniatures at the table.

  • Lighting, effects and masks placed without exposing controls at the table
  • Separate projector output shows only the battlefield
  • Sound and atmosphere controlled without interrupting play
