Shard Tabletop its a company dedicated to creating online tools for the 5th edition of the world’s greatest role playing game.

Collaborative work

Shard, as a shared moniker for collaborative work, has existed since Darren Shakib and Hal Howard met in high school in 1982. Two things that interested them both at the time were software design and Dungeons & Dragons.

Dungeon Crawler

One of the first programs they wrote was a dungeon crawler. While that project didn’t go anywhere, they both went on to successful careers in software development and design careers. Both spent over 20 years each at Microsoft developing products that, used by tens of millions of people everyday.

Through it all, the love of Dungeons & Dragons never faded. It became a family pastime that embraced spouses, kids, siblings, and friends.

Tools for tabletop gamers

So now, they revisit the game to create tools for tabletop gamers by tabletop gamers. Tools that don’t require a degree in computer science to operate.

Shard Tabletop started with the development of a few tools for personal use and grew organically to a full virtual tabletop and character sheet dedicated to 5th edition rules. Friends started asking to use it for their games. Then friends of friends started asking and a simple idea turned into a shared project to bring these tools to the world.

The first public version was made available in May of 2020. Thanks to the feedback of thousands of users, significant new features and improvements have been added to the software every week since then. In January 2021, Shard will formally launch via Kickstarter.

Thank you for using Shard and for making a dream that started almost 40 years ago come true.
