Guildhall is a platform that matches tabletop players, GMs, and organizers around how they actually want to play. It scores how well you and a table fit each other across schedule, system, tone, and content boundaries, so you find the right table instead of just an open seat.

Guildhall is in Foundation Release. The waitlist is open right now, and early access is rolling out to Founding GMs and Founding Members first. A wider public launch follows once the founding cohorts have helped shape the core.

Guildhall supports three pillars at launch: RPG Tables (D&D, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, and other tabletop role-playing games), Battle Tables (Warhammer 40K, Kill Team, Battletech, Star Wars Legion, and other miniatures games), and Card Tables (Magic, Pokémon, Lorcana, Flesh and Blood, and other TCGs). Board games and organized play are on the roadmap.

No. Guildhall does not host your sessions or replace your VTT. It matches you with the right table, then helps you run it (scheduling, attendance, listings, applications). For the actual play, you use your VTT, video chat, or in-person setup of choice.

Yes. Every listing on the Quest Board is tagged online, local, or hybrid. Filters let you narrow by format and region so a local-only player isn't sifting through online tables and vice versa.

Yes. Guildhall is built as a global platform from day one. The Quest Board filters by country and region, so a player in Berlin, Tokyo, or São Paulo sees the right local tables for in-person play and the full international pool for online tables. Timezone-aware scheduling means a session in another country still lands on your calendar correctly.

The Guildhall site itself launches in English. Listings can be tagged with the language of play (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Polish, Portuguese, and Other), so non-English-speaking groups can list and find each other on the Quest Board. Site-wide translation into more languages is on the roadmap after launch.

Yes. The Quest Board lets you filter by country and by online, local, or hybrid format. Local listings include a city and region so you can find tables within travel distance. Online listings are open to anyone with matching timezone overlap and a shared language of play.

Compatibility is scored on a 100-point scale across six factors: schedule overlap (30 points), pillar fit (25), system / format / language (20), location (10), experience (10), and commitment (5). The score and the reasons behind it show up next to every Listing so you know why a table is or isn't a good fit before you apply.

You set how you want twenty-two categories of content handled on a five-point ladder (hard no, prefer not, fine, on theme, prefer). Organizers do the same for their tables. A hard incompatibility blocks the listing from showing in your default Quest Board view. Your individual preferences stay private; organizers see compatibility, not your answers.

The Quest Board is where every open table lives. Filter by pillar, system, format, region, or language, and sort by your personal compatibility score. Save tables to come back to, see what you've already applied to, and track which ones approved you.

The Timetable is where your upcoming sessions live. Players see what they have coming up across every table they're on. Organizers see the sessions they're running. RSVP, attendance, and rescheduling all happen in one place so you stop screenshotting Doodle polls into Discord.

Every session is stored in UTC and rendered in your local timezone automatically. You set your own timezone once in Settings; the compatibility engine uses it to compute real schedule overlap with a table, not just a nominal day-of-week match. A 7pm session in New York shows up as midnight for a player in London, with no math required.

Once you're approved for a table, every session on that table appears in your Timetable with an RSVP control. You can mark yourself going, declined, or maybe. Organizers see the totals and can mark attendance after the session. Your show-up history feeds your reliability reputation, which travels with you to future tables.

Not yet. iCal export and Google Calendar sync are on the roadmap. For now, the Timetable shows everything you have coming up in one place, and you can copy session times manually into your calendar of choice. Notification reminders ship alongside calendar sync when that work lands.

Organizers can update the date, time, or status of any session they run. The new time appears on every approved player's Timetable immediately. Cancelled sessions stay visible with a cancelled badge so nobody shows up to a meeting that isn't happening, and the change is logged so reliability tracking treats it as an organizer-side reschedule rather than a player no-show.

Guildhall supports D&D 5e and Pathfinder 2e as named systems, plus an "Other TTRPG" option that covers everything else (older editions, third-party systems, indie games, homebrew). When you create or apply to a listing, the system field carries through to compatibility scoring.

Guildhall is free. Finding tables, applying, scheduling, and running a game cost nothing. The site is supported by ads, kept tasteful and out of the way. Ads never buy anyone better matches, visibility, or scheduling. We may sell a few optional cosmetics later, but those are paint, never advantage.

A Founding GM is one of the first organizers to commit to running tables on Guildhall. The cohort gets early access, a permanent Founding GM badge, an ad-free Hall for life, and a direct line into what we build next. Sign up at /founding-gms.

Founding Members are the broader early cohort: the people who joined before public launch and helped shape what shipped. You get the persistent in-product feedback channel, a permanent Founding Member badge, and early access to features like the Torchlight dark theme.

Every account has a personal invite link. Bringing verified players and GMs into the Hall unlocks founder titles that travel with your profile: Spark of the Hall, Lanternbearer, Table Founder, Guild Pioneer, and Founding Recruiter. They are recognition, not advantage. Nothing about them changes your matches.

Torchlight Mode is Guildhall's candle-lit dark theme. It is fully built and may become an optional cosmetic later. Founding GMs, Founding Members, and early-access cohorts can preview it now via the theme toggle in the sidebar.

Your profile is visible to other Hall members at the username you choose during onboarding. You can hide your profile from search entirely from Settings. Your content boundaries, application history, and private notes stay private regardless of that setting.

Every profile, listing, and session has a Report button. Reports go to the Guildhall team for review and are never shown to the reported member. See the Safety page in the footer for the full reporting and moderation policy.

Account basics (email, username, display name), the preferences and boundaries you set, and the listings and sessions you join. We never sell data. Full detail is in the Privacy policy, linked from the footer. You can export everything from Settings.

Settings has an Account section with both an export-your-data and a delete-your-account option. Deletion hides your profile immediately and removes your data after a brief review window. The Privacy policy covers retention timelines.
