Tabletop Creator Pro

Very light and easy to use software. For making a primarily card based game, especially a prototype, I don't think there's an easier to use software out there.

Some of the reviews complain about things that they wish the app would do etc. I've only wanted something quite simple from it, that is, to create game cards I could print and play with. It did that just fine.

I can't say enough good things about Tabletop Creator Pro! This software has been an absolute game changer for me. I was able to create a fully functioning game from scratch using its incredible tools and features. The intuitive design and powerful customization options made it possible to bring my vision to life, and now I'm gearing up for a potential Kickstarter launch in May!

From designing detailed cards to organizing every component needed for gameplay, Tabletop Creator Pro has covered nearly every aspect of game creation. It took me from concept to near completion, and I genuinely believe this would have been a far more challenging journey without it.

One small note: I couldn't find an option to create a frame, which would have been a nice touch, but honestly, that's such a minor issue compared to everything this software does right. I might have missed it, but even without that feature, this program is a must-have for anyone looking to bring their tabletop game ideas to life.

If you're considering developing your own game, I highly recommend giving Tabletop Creator Pro a try. It’s a powerhouse tool that turns dreams into playable reality!

Loved it so far exactly what was advertise

Pros
One of the app's biggest advantages is the ability to conveniently create cards, combine them into decks, and export them seamlessly. This feature greatly simplifies the workflow for tabletop game designers.

Cons
A significant downside, in my opinion, is that the app feels somewhat underdeveloped. Critical functions often fail to work as expected, and tasks that should take 1-2 weeks can stretch into months due to delays in bug fixes. This can be extremely demotivating, as instead of focusing on implementing creative ideas, users are forced to troubleshoot issues. Frequently, you discover through the community that a problem is a bug, and then you have to wait for a fix. Unfortunately, even fixes might not fully resolve the issue, requiring users to wait for the next update. This repetitive cycle of delays can be highly frustrating and hampers productivity.

Summary
While Tabletop Creator has great potential and offers useful features for tabletop game creation, its lack of stability and delayed fixes can be a dealbreaker for users looking for a reliable tool.

The best tool on the market to create prototypes for game design. And also includes all features necessary to use it for taking that prototype one step further: to export for professional printing. Also includes a localization function that reduces a lot of workload!

Has some really helpful functionality. Makes designing games much easier! Would like to have better documentation, but otherwise its very intuitive. Saving and move projects between computers can be a challenge so be very careful with that.

I am not using this for professional board game design, but to speed my workflow of prototyping onto TTS, and after only 11 hours with it please take this review with a grain of salt.

TTC Pro is good but not great tool for gathering assets and exporting into a format Tabletop Simulator understand—it is not, as other reviews have said, integrated with TTS or Tabletopia.

The Discord community is a fantastic source of help with the current bugs and workarounds. TTC should probably should still be considered Early Access.

I was pretty excited for this software and wanted to put some of my vision onto paper with it. For the price point and based on the marketing I expected a robust tool. This was pretty...basic. It's possible that there is just a steep learning curve and I'm still behind it and maybe things will "click". Fining supporting documentation or instructions isn't easy, there are a handful of videos that give you the overview...but I don't know where you would go to learn the deeper functions. Right now, I'm not getting much value out of this software.

For example, I want to procedurally generate a a non-equilateral triangle and the software can't support that. There is only one triangle shape it can make with proscribe angles that can not be altered. That seems a bit basic to me.

Additionally, I think while it can be used to make board games...I don't think that is a strength of the software. This is a card making software that can also do some extra stuff kinda. If you want to make a 3' x 3' map for a board game...best of luck.

If this was $50, I'd say it was worth it.

When I first got this software I got it for a Christmas gift. I was going through a little bit of a hard time and needed something to distract me. So my husband bought me this program. I didn't know how to use it. I didn't know anything about building a board game but I always knew that I wanted to create something and I kinda knew what I wanted to do. After trying out the software a little bit and just playing with it. I was able to figure out how to use it for the most part 〽️ on my own. It as very easy to learn. It was actually interesting to figure out how everything worked and to come up with the idea and everything myself. After getting it, we started noticing that it was getting updated quite frequently, which was a good thing. They were just incorporating more and more and more and waking. They needed an even easier process for me to build this game. I am the first game took me about. I think I have 700 hours into it but there was a lot of stuff that happened with my computer itself as well and it cost me to have to rebuild some of it. So it's kind of a little bit of my own fault. But after doing some research anyways they say that it takes about 6 months to build a good board game from start to finish. So they would be around the same amount of time than it was for that don't be deterred by trying to do something that you want to do after having a breakdown of my own and finding this, it actually helped me figure out what it is in life that I wanted. It really did change me to the creators of this board game Creator. Keep doing what you're doing, the constant upgrades and the way that you have always been there to support any questions that I have quickly has been truly amazing. If you keep doing this you guys will be the best. You really do put your clients first and I really appreciate you guys. I appreciate your hard work and dedication. The time you have spent with not only just me but everyone else in the community. I look forward to many more creations together and the amazing things I know all of us here will dream up and create. I appreciate everything about Tabletop Community.

Had a bit of steeper learning curve then the card creator, but now that I have that down, it is a wonderful tool for prototyping.

First of all -
Yes, it's worth the pricetag!

Second -
The overwhelming majority of my usage has been converting community assets for my favorite board games. No more mix/match quality parts, everything is nice and uniform, everything the same size, the same fonts, the same style. I can physically fabricate really nice parts, but finding consistent, quality parts can be tricky. Community members may have great ideas, but no ability or inclination to create high quality printables - now *all* my Warhammer Quest, Shadows of Brimstone, Runebound, Descent, Mage Knight, Stuffed Fables, Magic Realm etc etc etc have nice, consistent additions.

The software is easy to use and versatile. There are some features I'd still like to see - dynamic panels, text flow around images, etc - but there are usually workarounds and solutions I can find. The community on Discord are helpful and friendly.

If you're looking to finally make your great idea for a game into a reality, or just want to unify all your modifications, Tabletop Creator will absolutely give you the tools you need, and doesn't require a masters degree to navigate. Start slow, come hang out with us in Discord, ask questions, and you'll be making good looking parts in no time.
