A WINDOW INTO ANY WORLD

The most immersive way to experience tabletop roleplaying games

  • IMMERSIVE GAMEPLAY

    Alchemy is the world’s first virtual tabletop (VTT) built specifically for cinematic immersion and theater of the mind gameplay. Its scene-based structure empowers gamemasters to tell incredible stories with animated environments, particle effects, ambient sound, and music.

    but it enables you to do so much more...

  • TACTICAL MODE

    When the need for tactical gameplay arises, switching to Tactical Mode is a click away. Alchemy presents all the tools you need in a VTT with the flexibility to choose when Tactical Mode is right for your story.

  • INTEGRATED VOICE & VIDEO CHAT

    Connect to your players through industry standard voice and video chat with stability and quality you expect from apps like Discord and Zoom.

  • CHARACTER HUD

    Creating a character shouldn’t feel like doing your taxes. Instead of the same old form-fillable PDFs, Alchemy elevates the most-used parts of a character sheet into prominent UI panels. Everything you need during play is quickly accessible.

  • IMMERSIVE SCENE BUILDER

    Craft an immaculate aesthetic for your scenes with the Alchemy scene builder. Add art, weather effects, music, ambient sound beds and tactical maps in a snap. Upload your own assets or select from ready-made content packs on the Marketplace.

  • WORLDBUILDING

    Alchemy provides deeply-integrated worldbuilding tools to help you homebrew your world, collaborate with others, and seamlessly integrate it into your games.

  • POWERFUL TEXT EDITOR

    Write beautiful lore articles, drop in images, tables, music, and attachments. Share them with your friends and collaboratively build your world.

  • CUSTOM CHARACTER SHEETS

    Use the built-in character sheet template to create custom NPCs and Premade characters in your Universe for any game system.

  • EXPAND YOUR UNIVERSE

    Organize your universe into modules to provide access controls for your players or collaborators, delineate story arcs, or capture eras in your campaign.

  • WATCHER MODE

    Share your stories with the world with custom graphics, watcher chat, statuses, and the ability for your fans to subscribe to your games.

  • ALTERNATIVE STREAMER VIEW

    Say goodbye to slicing camera feeds out of your video chat window in OBS. In Alchemy, just click a button to create a new window with an alternate view of your game ready to stream to your preferred streaming platform.

  • WATCHER CHAT

    A watcher chat built just for Alchemy users watching your game live. Engage with your audience right where you play.

  • WATCHER STATUS & EMOTES

    Forget about slow mode. Spectator interaction includes lightweight statuses and emotes to integrate audience reactions into the gameplay experience.

  • DISCOVER NEW CONTENT

    Discover a universe of immersive story worlds like never before, with unforgettable adventures ready to be had at the touch of a button.

  • GAME DETAILS

    Browse screenshots, video previews, and a detailed description of the title. Effortlessly create a game from a purchased module with a single click.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Alchemy is a Virtual Tabletop (VTT) with a slightly different focus. Whereas most others provide a map and grid as your starting point, we focus on cinematic elements, like music and environmental backgrounds, motion overlays, and more. We still have the map and grid, but we don’t think that’s the only thing players want to look at for hours during a session.

  • At Version One Launch, we will have support for:

    • Dungeons & Dragons 5e (SRD)
    • Year Zero Engine (ALIEN, Tales From the Loop, Coriolis, Dragonbane, Forbidden lands, etc)
    • Pathfinder 2e
    • Kids on Bikes 2e
    • Call of Cthulhu
    • Vampire: The Masquerade
    • Powered by the Apocalypse (Masks, Cartel)
    • The 2d20 System (Fallout RPG, Dune)
    • Mörk Borg (Vast Grimm, Pirate Borg)
    • SHIFT
    • City of Mist
    • Degenesis

If you’d like to talk about partnering with Alchemy to bring your content to the marketplace, email partners@alchemyrpg.com.

  • As it relates to the subscription: Alchemy users can create a free account and will be able to make three player characters, three games as a gamemaster, and one homebrew universe. The subscription allows for unlimited access to all of those things and more, that we'll talk about in updates during the campaign.

    As it relates to content, if the GM owns it, the players can experience it in all of its glory.
