Where Tabletop Audio shines

A huge, well-loved catalog of atmospheric tracks, from taverns to spaceships, free in any browser. If you just need "a haunted forest for the next hour", it's excellent.

Where Rollune shines

Rollune gives you live control instead of a finished track. Start with rain, add wind when the storm arrives, cut to silence before the vault opens, and drop a door creak or a growl exactly when the story needs it. It runs on your phone with background playback and no connection, and the dice and characters are in the same app.

Choose Rollune if…

  • You want to mix and react live.
  • You play in person from a phone or tablet.
  • You also want dice, characters and presets.

Choose Tabletop Audio if…

  • You want ready-made long tracks in the browser.
  • You don't need dice or effects.
