About Tablepact
For whoever's running it tonight.
We make printable kits for game masters who run a home game for friends or family: the forever DM, the player whose turn it is, and the first-timer with a new group coming on Friday.
What we make
Printable things that get a game night to the table with less prep, at a kitchen table or an online one. Today that's one complete kit.
Mind the Furniture is a printable one-shot kit for fifth edition: GM book and run sheet, four battle maps, paper minis, pre-gens and handouts. It's an inn where the furniture bites, for 3 to 5 characters of 3rd level, planned for about 3½ hours of play. You print it, read it, cut and fold it in an afternoon and run it that night.
What "ready to print" means here
Maps come already tiled for US Letter and A4 at a true 1-inch grid, with glue strips, join lines and a ruler check on the tile, so you know before you cut whether the printer kept it at Actual size. The pages are written to be read under one lamp with a bowl of snacks in the way. Everything that has to be cut out is drawn to be cut out.
Before you pay, you see the real pages. Each kit's page says how many pages it has, what's in it, what you need to bring and what it doesn't include, so nothing turns up on the night that you didn't expect.
The kind of night we write for
The fiction stays perfectly serious and the table falls apart laughing. The GM keeps a straight face, the chest moves one square closer while everyone looks at their sheets, and somebody opens it anyway.
That's the job as a lot of GMs put it: have everything ready, and let the players supply the chaos.
The free series
Each time we make something free for game night, we mail it to you. It comes when it's ready, with no schedule, and nothing on this site is held back for an address.
