Orb gathers your friends around an online 3D table, with an assistant that listens: ask it to move a token, roll the dice or bring the night down, and it does. And everything can be done by hand too, without it.
Orb has everything you expect from a virtual table, and every feature makes sense at first sight, by hand. Everything it can do can be done by voice too.
Choices in words rather than numbers, only what helps right now, and what each setting does written out plainly. The game master sets up a scene without a manual.
An animated 3D assistant that speaks: you give it a name, a personality and a voice. Hold Space, talk, let go: it understands and acts on the table.
Complete doesn't mean complicated. Every feature of Orb is designed to be found and understood without a manual.
Orb is built on AI, and that's where it shows its full worth: the table listens, answers, draws and sculpts during the game. It works without AI too, with the mouse, but connected is how it really changes the way you play.
Anthropic's Claude, or another compatible AI. It understands what you say, acts on the table, reads your rules, prepares your scenes.
Maps, portraits and decor drawn on request, laid on the table right away.
A 3D figurine, creature or object in a few minutes, from a sentence or a picture; animated when it's a character.
A natural voice for the assistant, and recognition of yours, with nothing to install.
Each service is connected with the host's key, in Orb's settings. The host sees what it costs and sets a limit per player and per evening.
Every figurine in this picture was made by the 3D AI, from a description or a drawing, then placed on the table. Scales, tentacles, the folds of a cloak: the detail holds up close.
Your group meets a creature that exists nowhere? It can be on the table before the scene is over.
Figurines made by the AI join your collections and come back from one game to the next. A character gets a skeleton and its animations: it walks, strikes and takes hits like the others.
Without any paid service, the assistant also builds objects, creatures and dungeons itself from simple shapes, as many as you like.
For the game master and the players alike, from the first map to the last fight.
Your map laid on a table, a hex grid, tokens and animated figurines that walk, strike and take hits. A free camera, or ready-made views.
Relief, painted grounds (grass, sand, snow, cobbles…), lakes, rivers, lava. Rain wets the ground, snow settles, fog rises.
Fog of war, each token's vision, walls, doors and windows that block sight. Day, dusk or night, and flickering torches.
A blazing fireball, a frosting cone of cold, a crackling bolt of lightning, an aura that follows its token, a projectile from one token to another. And drawings on the map.
3D dice thrown over the map, drawn at random by the server. Public, private or secret rolls, and your game's own dice rules.
Read like a paper sheet, with gauges and states on the tokens. Templates for almost any game, game systems and their compendium.
A campaign journal, the turn order for fights, campaigns and their restore points. The assistant also reads your rulebooks as PDF.
3D models, maps, portraits and decor kept in collections. Figurines and dungeon pieces included, your own packs, Universal VTT maps with their walls.
The assistant builds objects, creatures and dungeons in 3D. With a service chosen by the host, it also draws pictures and sculpts realistic models.
Pictures of Orb, taken on the table as it runs today.
The game master chooses what the players discover: nothing, what they reveal with a brush, or what their tokens explore as they go. At night, only the lights show the way.
The game master sees everything, and one button shows the table through the players' eyes.
Rain, storm, snow, blizzard, fog or sandstorm: the weather marks the ground and shortens what tokens can see. Lakes, rivers, swamps and lava are painted hex by hex.
No picture for tonight? Paint the grounds, raise a hill, dig a lake, place trees and houses. Or ask the assistant, in one sentence.
The assistant lays the floors, walls, pillars and doors. The walls block the tokens' sight: the fog of war works inside right away.
The table runs on the host's computer; friends join it through a link.
On a Windows PC. Their campaigns, maps and collections stay on their computer.
One click: Orb opens a secure link (HTTPS, through Cloudflare), protected by a password. A fixed address is possible with a Cloudflare account.
In their browser, with nothing to install, or from the Orb app ("Join a table"). Everyone picks their name, language and view.
Players enjoy the AIs the host has connected, with no account to create and no key to give. The host stays in control of what they cost.
The microphone can work in the browser (free, nothing leaves the PC) or online. The assistant answers in writing, or out loud with an online voice.
Orb is coming to Steam, for Windows, in English and French. The game's page isn't published yet: come back soon.
