In a previous article, we've presented you our flat and paper minis for our 3D Virtual Tabletop at Harpy. Today we are thrilled to announce that you can finally play with your HeroForge minis directly in Harpy's VTT. We've been working hard with the awesome peeps at HeroForge to make it as seamless as possible for you.

What’s HeroForge?

If you've never heard of HeroForge and you're a TTRPG fan, well you're in for a treat. HeroForge is a web platform allowing you to create and customize your tabletop miniatures whether you want to get a physical 3D-printed miniature or just the 3D version of it for your VTT games. You can customize pretty much everything, the outfit, the gears, the pose, the colors and even the light sources. Make sure to have a few hours to kill because you're about to go down the rabbit hole.

What’s Harpy?

Harpy is a 3D Virtual Tabletop, a Campaign manager and a Play-by-post web platform for TTRPG lovers. It’s available in english, french, german and portuguese and works natively on desktop, tablet and mobile. Our Codex allows you to prepare your games by creating your NPCs, places, items and everything you may need in your campaign. You’ll then be able to assign maps to your places and drop all your characters and monsters on it.
