About

Chartopia intends to re-imagine the way role-playing gamers find, collect and use the material they use for conducting their Role Playing Games.

The classic pencil and paper role-playing game, that ebs and flows by a flexible narrative rather than abide by the rigid rules of board games, have for decades relied on publishers to provide source material to describe worlds, characters, equipment and events. Players, often wanting to expand on what publishers offer, create their own 'random tables' that they share with friends and fans via email or blogs.

As you might imagine, keeping a record of all your favourite random tables is quite arduous because of the multitude of formats you find them in, whether they be on an author's blog, inside a friend's spreadsheet or perhaps as a .pdf of a store download. Chartopia is designed to pull all this together by not only providing the digital tools to create, organize and edit your own random tables, but provide a means to share your tables and discover those of others.

With the integrated tools, Chartopia will vastly streamline the complicated equations and table look ups required during games. It will also save players the hassle of bringing heavy books to game sessions.

We believe our software tool can dramatically change the RPG gaming space.

Kids and adults always need a form of escapism and role playing games have been one such means of doing so. Chartopia is designed to enhance the RPG experience.

A massive collection of random tables

Discover fantastic random tables from the growing repository; some original, some from published content and some sourced from around the internet.

Chart creation features

Create and share your own random tables.

Link multiple charts together

Ever tried creating a random player name and had to roll as many as 4 times per name? Do it all in one hit with chart linking. Let one dice roll automatically call all associated tables that create the entire name.

Roll on item lists

Ever wanted to roll on lists of items rather than have to create and roll on another table just to form a result? Now your raiding party can easily claim that 10d4 pieces of [copper; silver; gold] from that fallen foe; all from a single dice roll.

Dice equations

Got loot tables? Have you ever wanted to easily mix up the amount of loot a player receives with say, a 2d12, or maybe even a 2d12 + 4 * d4 - 10? You can achieve that with nested equations that are automatically calculated per result roll.

Formatting in Markdown, HTML or plain text

Have complete control over the look of your random table by using either Markdown or HTML formatting. You can add emphasis to words or even show images - maybe the picture speaks clearer? Sure, you can just use plain text if you like.

Import tools

Have a collection of tables in spread sheets? You can import .csv files to take advantage of Chartopia's features.


Tools for bloggers

Have you noticed how many different ways charts appear on different RPG websites and blogs? Noticed how difficult it is then to share these charts with others? Use the embed feature to create HTML-formatted versions of Chartopia's tables that you can then copy into your blog.


Game preparation tools

DMs have a huge collection of their favourite tables but sometimes they reside across books, spreadsheets and blogs and scraps of paper.

Search tools

Quickly find that favourite table in your collection using the built in search filters.

Folders

About to host a game? Prepare all the tables you may want to use with with the folder management tools. Want to organise by chapter, genre, characters, campaign or all of the above, the folder system allows you to add a chart to many folders. It's like the DM's equivalent of music playlists for your game sessions; 'album art' supported.
