The Interactive TTRPG Table is a modular smart gaming table designed to make tabletop role-playing games, such as Dungeons & Dragons, more immersive and interactive. Instead of using a traditional flat map, the system uses 3D-printed hexagonal terrain tiles that can be rearranged into different layouts. Each tile is designed to include an ESP8266 microcontroller, RGB LEDs, and, for certain terrain pieces, a servo motor that can raise or lower parts of the tile. The table is controlled by a Raspberry Pi connected to a 10-inch touchscreen that acts as the Dungeon Master interface. Through a Python-based GUI, the DM can control tile lighting, terrain effects, and servo movement. The individual tiles are programmed in C/C++ so they can connect over Wi-Fi, receive commands, and control their local hardware. Custom PCBs designed in KiCad help make the tile electronics cleaner, more reliable, and easier to reproduce. Overall, the project combines embedded systems, wireless communication, PCB design, 3D printing, and software development to create a more dynamic and customizable TTRPG experience.
