One More Multiverse to Combine Tabletop RPGs with Video Game-Styled Creative Elements
Multiverse, Inc. Invites Tabletop and Digital Gamers to Create, Build, and Explore Worlds Together in a Welcoming, Inclusive, and Complete Role-Playing Experience
CAMBRIDGE, MA (April 13, 2021) — Multiverse, Inc., a digital tabletop RPG and electronic entertainment developer, today unveiled One More Multiverse, their online tabletop RPG (TTRPG)/video game platform. One More Multiverse is based on the “virtual tabletop” (VTT) concept where tabletop RPG players and streamers can gather online to play in shared games, complete with character sheets, rulesets, custom settings, and, of course, dice! Multiverse’s product advances the VTT concept, making it so users can create game assets and art, custom rules (aka “homebrew”), and even entire game systems, all within a familiar and friendly digital environment reminiscent of classic video game RPGs. Users will also be able to share or sell their creations on the One More Multiverse marketplace, making it the perfect place for current and aspiring indie RPG creators to find a home! Currently in Closed Beta, Multiverse is planning a Q3 2021 full release of the platform.
“Tabletop RPGs are all about having a shared storytelling experience and building a world together, and we want One More Multiverse to help make it easy to create and dive into those stories,” said Thariq Shihipar, CEO and cofounder. “We also want One More Multiverse to be welcoming to indie creators; whether they’re mapmakers, avatar designers, artists, writers, or adventure builders, we will have room for everyone to build and play.”
One More Multiverse is an online video game platform making it as easy as possible to make, play, stream, and share tabletop role-playing games. The platform includes a creator-focused marketplace for showcasing and sharing user-created content, from player avatars to adventure maps to entire rule systems! For every one person who plays tabletop games, there are ten more who would play if getting started was just more intuitive and One More Multiverse is being built to make digital tabletop games accessible to both types of players! Jump into your next adventure with friends, whether they’re across the table or across the world, in a click with One More Multiverse.
