The living atlas for your tabletop campaign
Wizard Canvas brings map, wiki, and combat together in one local tool for game masters. No online account, no mandatory cloud, no subscription — your campaign stays on your own computer.
Founder's Edition · US$9.99 one-time purchase. Regional pricing and taxes are shown by Microsoft Store.
From world map to encounter, without losing the story
A real look at Emberwatch, the original English campaign included with the beta.
Everything a campaign needs, in one place
The goal is to reduce the number of tools a game master needs to open to prepare and run a session.
Living map
World map, scene and combat maps, points of interest, and character journeys, all connected.
Integrated wiki
Characters, NPCs, places, and GM secrets linked directly to points on the map.
Simple combat
Configurable grid, tokens, initiative, HP, conditions, dice, and fog of war — without a professional VTT's learning curve.
Local and private
Your campaign stays on your computer. No mandatory account, no dependence on a third-party server to play at the table.
Second screen
Separate GM and player views, ready to project or use on a TV.
Your data, always yours
Export, back up, and restore your campaign whenever you want, without depending on an online service's availability.
Not just another virtual tabletop
Many virtual tabletop tools focus on combat. Wizard Canvas treats the whole campaign — not just the battle map — as the main product.
- Wiki and map stay in sync: opening a point on the map already leads to the right page.
- GM notes and secrets are separated from what players see, without workarounds.
- No subscription: a one-time purchase, with offline access to your local campaign files.
- Built for in-person tables and a second screen first, not only remote multiplayer.

Do I need internet to play?
No. The initial version runs locally on the GM's computer and can show the player view in another window, screen, TV, or projector connected to that computer. Network and internet access are planned for later.
Does it work with systems other than fifth edition?
Not yet in the first version. Support for other systems is one of the first things we plan to prioritize after launch, depending on demand.
Will there be remote play over the internet?
Not in the Founder's Edition. Remote access is planned as a future version, likely as a separate paid upgrade.
Windows, Mac, or Linux?
Windows is the priority platform at launch. Mac and Linux come later, if there's enough demand.
Is this tied to a licensed fantasy setting?
No. Wizard Canvas is an independent project, and the commercial edition will contain only original or properly licensed material.
