What It Is

RPG Stack is an online tool for tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) players and GMs, positioned as an “operating system for RPGs.” It offers character sheets, dice rolling, and campaign management, with an emphasis on giving each game system its own dedicated engine rather than simulating rules through generic forms. The site mentions 591+ players, 150+ characters, and 10 game systems currently supported.

Core Features

The product focuses on rules-accurate character management and dice rolling. Users can create characters, track XP and progression, and run dice mechanics according to different rulesets. On the campaign side, it supports unlimited campaigns, sessions, notes, NPC tracking, and forum RP. Support for Mage: The Ascension is especially prominent, including 11 Talents, 12 Skills, 11 Knowledges, 9 Spheres, M20-accurate dice rules, Arete, a Paradox tracker, a Sphere Compendium, and Tradition/Orphan archetypes.

Pricing and Trial

Its business model is fairly straightforward: the core tools are free. The Free plan costs €0 forever and includes unlimited characters, unlimited campaigns, full campaign tools, a dice roller, and all tools. Registration includes 25 AI credits for trying the AI features. The text only states that users “pay for AI credits only when needed,” but does not disclose credit pricing, bundle options, or payment methods.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are built-in rules support and a low learning curve, making it especially suitable for players who do not want to manually build character sheets in a generic VTT or spreadsheet. The free tier has very few restrictions and offers strong value. The downsides are that the publicly available information still presents it more as a player tool than an enterprise-grade SaaS product: there is no visible information on third-party integrations, APIs, permission models, data security compliance, backups, or self-hosting. Its user base and number of supported systems also still appear to be at an early stage.

Who It’s For

It is suitable for players of systems such as Vampire: The Masquerade, Mage: The Ascension, Call of Cthulhu, and Cyberpunk RED, as well as GMs who need lightweight campaign management. If your group needs a full virtual tabletop, maps, voice chat, a plugin ecosystem, or strong permission controls, alternatives such as Roll20 or Foundry VTT may be a better fit.

Access from China

The crawled text does not provide information on availability from China, payment methods, or localization, so its accessibility from China is unknown. Chinese users who encounter access or payment issues may consider alternatives such as Roll20, self-hosted Foundry VTT, or building their own character and campaign records with tools like Notion, Feishu, or multi-dimensional spreadsheets.
