Homebrew is coming to Tales of Fablecraft!
Hey all! 🧙 In case you missed it, we recently announced that the Tales of Fablecraft demo will be dropping sometime later this month. Keep an eye out for an official demo release date announcement!
[h3]Homebrew Features[/h3]
Whether you're a seasoned GM or a fledgling hero, our upcoming Homebrew features are designed to ensure that your adventures in Fablecraft will be immersive and unique from tabletop to tabletop.
You'll see us use the word 'Homebrew' a lot; that's what we're calling the bundle of tools for game customization and adventure building. These features will grow as Fablecraft moves through development.

Let’s take a look at what’s coming down the pipeline!
[h3]Hero Portraits [/h3]
When you create a character in Fablecraft, you will need to choose a character portrait. Toggle through the provided options OR customize your own!
Adding your custom portraits will be simple. Select “Add Portrait” on the character creation carousel and follow the prompts.
For now, you can upload up to five custom portraits. We plan to expand this option down the road.
Once you’ve gotten your hero looking just right, it’s time to make a hero token.
Your full custom image will appear on your character sheet and your token will appear on the side of your video chat and on the battlemap.
[h3]Story Scene Environments[/h3]
Similar to character design, environment options have gotten an upgrade.
Click “Add Backdrop” and follow the steps to start creating your own custom environments.
You will be able to upload two different types of media when prompted; static images and video files.
Upload your image and it will populate the corresponding socket.
For future video environment customization, if you upload a video, it will prompt you to add an additional image that will allow players to toggle animations on and off while in game.
You will also be able to add variations of images. For now, you will be able to add up to 5 variations for each environment.
You can write in your own descriptions that players will be able to read in game as well.
[h3]A Sneak Peek at What’s Next[/h3]
Tales of Fablecraft’s mission has always been to lower the barrier to entry into the world of tabletop gaming. Continuing to expand and build upon various customization features will be a big part of that!
Upcoming Homebrew features include:
[h3]Creator Marketplace[/h3]
We're currently developing an in-platform Creator Marketplace, which will allow wonderful artists and creators to share and sell content directly to others! We’ll have much more on this after Early Access launch.
It's just one of the ways that we're hoping to support human creatives, and we hope it'll connect players to artists they love.
