Today, Hedron, the premier virtual TTRPG platform for homebrew creators and GMs, officially exits its open beta and launches v1.0. With a host of new additions, features, and updates, including a mobile app, subscription tiers, new marketplace content, and new tools, Hedron further empowers users to make their mark in the tabletop gaming world.
Mobile App
Hedron’s new mobile app focuses entirely on playing games, no matter what they are – making it the first VTT that doesn’t just accommodate mobile play, but actively focuses on it. And with Hedron’s acquisition of Role Gate in 2024, those same insights and lessons are being incorporated to bring an all-in-one platform that plays any game any way you want, whether live or play-by-post.
Subscription Tiers
Hedron is also unlocking subscription tiers to give dedicated users and creators more control over their experience on the platform. The new tiers each come at competitive price point, with increasing storage limits, prioritized technical support, and other perks at higher levels, such as a discount on the Hedron merch store, vanity URLs for their games, and promotion of their games on Hedron.
Hedron also assures users that the base membership tier will always remain free and include all features and tools, so casual users can still join to play in other creators’ worlds.
New Marketplace Content
Launched at the end of 2024, Hedron’s marketplace offers publishers, indie creators, and homebrewers a streamlined way to distribute and sell their original creations for TTRPG systems, campaigns, modules, and more! With v1.0, Hedron is proud to partner with Storytellers Forge, Gehenna Gaming, and other publishers to provide official content and new additions from several Hedron users.

New Tools
New tools are also launching with v1.0 to streamline system creation, testing, and implementation so that GMs can enhance their play sessions more easily. The Mechanics Sandbox allows users to actively test rule systems as they are building for quality assurance without pushing the new mechanics live, while new “ad hoc” system design tools allow GMs to save rules to build out systems while in the middle of a session without interrupting the game. Other niche features, such as automatically assigning items to players at the beginning of a campaign, are also included.
Guild Program
In addition to the features designed to help users create their games, Hedron is partnering with long-time collaborator Nine Realms Agency to help those users bring their games to market. The new Hedron Guild Program will identify and support creators whose systems are ready for playtesting, crowdfunding, and/or publication to gain marketing support and consulting.
The update also sports a UX overhaul with a refreshed look, quality-of-life improvements, and hundreds of bug fixes to make the user experience smoother.
Hedron was built by homebrewers for homebrewers, with features like a customizable mechanics editor, graphical map-making tools, and detailed campaign management resources. Whether it’s a first-time GM looking to share a campaign or a seasoned publisher with an expansive RPG world to sell, Hedron is the go-to destination for GMs who want to craft their own unique RPG worlds.
