Identifying Challenges in Creating an Immersive Online Tabletop RPG System

The client requires an engaging, authentic online platform to host tabletop role-playing games based on supernatural universes, with complex character interactions, detailed world maps, and adherence to original game rules. Existing solutions lack integrated character creation, map management, and interaction logic, hindering user engagement and scalability.

A mid-sized game development studio specializing in digital adaptations of tabletop role-playing game universes, aiming to create immersive online gaming experiences that mirror original tabletop rules and worlds.

Key Goals for Developing a Robust Online Tabletop RPG Platform

  • Design and implement a multifunctional system for character creation, including forms, validations, and management of character traits, clans, and affiliations.
  • Create an interactive map system supporting region, city, and location setup with geographical markers and dynamic interaction capabilities.
  • Develop core game mechanics aligned with original rules, encompassing character interactions, battle systems, and game flow logic.
  • Ensure the platform is scalable and maintainable with a modern technological stack and secure user registration and session management.
  • Deliver an engaging digital environment that enables players to form groups such as chronicles and troupes, with administrative controls.
