Project FAQ
All Backerkit backers will gain Early Access in March 2024! Tabula Vox will launch for public use in May 2024.
Both! Vox allows you to easily stream background music for your RPG sessions. Whether you're streaming to a room of adventures or broadcasting to an online party, you can give players the powerful benefits of mood-setting music.
After making an account, Vox will have three free tracks to get your feet wet and experience the possibilities of dynamic real-time streaming. You can purchase a subscription for $4.90 a month for unlimited use of our growing premium library. Additionally, Vox will launch with a marketplace for composers to add and sell their works to other users. Items in the marketplace will cost roughly $5.99. You can stream your audio to 9 other listeners by sharing a link. If you want to connect with more users or in a public venue, please contact us for rates.
DnD and other TTRPG campaigns, LARP sessions, board game parties, just chilling, or any other gathering of people of 10 or less. If you'd like to use Tabula Vox for a business like an escape room, convention, public streams, or any other mass population, please contact us.
Nope! Stream as long as you'd like. Vox has a limit of 10 simultaneous broadcasts per session. If you would like to sync with more than 10 users, please contact us.
A theme can be thought of as the setting of your campaign. You can be exploring a deep mine, a mystical forest, or a mysterious town. While many events and emotions can occur, your environment will contain common ideas and sensory information. A mood can be seen as the different emotional states or events that happen within your environment. The exploration phase, the battle sequence, and a victory speech are all examples of different moods that can take place within the same environment. Each theme within Tabula Vox contains a set of moods that the Gamemaster may cycle through.
In Tabula Vox, our transitions mean you are able to seamlessly move between moods and themes. Unlike a playlist or soundboard, Vox eliminates the ads, pauses, and buffers that can come from switching between soundscapes. In a campaign, you may be walking through a cave, mourning your lost friend, and suddenly an evil dwarf comes swinging at you! As quickly as your GM springs the fiend at you, they can change the mood of your music — but instead of a distracting change, you'll experience a smooth musical transition that pulls you into the new vibe.
Tabula Vox focuses on conveying the mood of a campaign. Instead of fiddling with complex soundboards, we get out of the Gamemaster's way and only provide a changing soundscape that matches the flow of the story as it unfolds. That means no sound effects in Vox — just beautiful background music that enhances the atmosphere of your session. But feel free to get creative and make all the onomatopoeias you want!
Vox will continuously play the same Theme until you change it, but each theme contains a set of dynamic tracks that overlap and cycle through several phrases within the same mood. While it is constantly repeating these phrases, the order and frequency changes. This variety combined with the professional compositions prevent sound fatigue as you spend hours working through a campaign session.
Not at the moment, but let us know if you'd like to see this in an upcoming release! You can stop your music at any time, and it will finish the end of the current musical phrase before stopping completely. You can restart the same or a new theme at any time.
We have partnered with professional composers to create dynamic music specifically for Vox. See their names and works in the app! If you are a composer and interested in creating music for Vox, we'd love to hear from you.
Absolutely! It will be part of the public launch in May 2024. With the marketplace, you can browse new themes for purchase and use in Tabula Vox. If you are a composer and interested in creating music for Vox, we'd love to hear from you.
Nope. The magic of Vox is the ability to loop and mix in real-time, so you can be constantly immersed within a theme or mood. Our tracks are composed for this specific purpose and won't translate to just listening outside of Vox.

Yes! Vox is a web app, so everything can be done with a browser. As long as a device has a browser with internet access, Vox will work on it.
Any device with a browser, speaker, and internet access will work with Vox!
Absolutely! One session can be synced to up to 10 users. If someone in your party arrives late, their audio will time-sync in as soon as everything loads! This ensures that all listeners are hearing the exact same thing at the same time, regardless of where they are or when they join the session.
Heck yeah! Send us an email at [email protected] or pop into our Discord at https://discord.gg/kQGjXZxMDG and we will consider your idea for the future.
If funded, Tabula Vox will be natively integrated in to Tabula Sono. If you'd like to talk about integrations or cooperative projects with Tabula Gaming, please contact us.
No, but let us know if this is something you'd like to see in a future release! The nature of the Vox app means your players can just open it and leave it running in the background, so that generally fits the needs of FredBoat users and the like.
BackerKit FAQ
BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.
If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.
Backers often receive special rewards for their support, such as:
- Exclusive products
- Bonus rewards for backing related projects
- Discount pricing
- Behind-the-scenes updates
- Creative input opportunities
Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.
- Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
- Select any add-ons
- Confirm your pledge!
- You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
- Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.
The creator will send you a survey to:
- Ask you for more information about your rewards (selecting options, etc)
- Collect shipping information
- Offer additional items you may want to add to your pledge
- Collect shipping fees (if applicable)
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge. Additional payments are charged when you complete the survey.
Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.
You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.
Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.
