One More Multiverse, a platform made to revolutionize the table-top RPG experience, has been funded by over $17.5 million thanks to some big names, includingOculus VR’s co-founder and Crunchyroll’s co-founder, along with many others.
Though it may look like it, One More Multiverseisn’t actually a game. Rather, it’s a platform made to support other games, specifically tabletop RPGs. What TTRPGs such asDungeons and Dragonslack are the visuals that come naturally when creating a story completely from scratch, allowing for full range of freedom. Some platforms aid this, such as Roll20, which allows Dungeon Masters and players to input a virtual map and stationary avatars, but that’s about as much as it supports.

Last year, One More Multiverselaunched a Kickstarter, which ended early due to Covid-19 concerns. Afterward, its developing studio Multiverse changed its direction and decided to make the creative platform free-to-play. But now, another round of funding has surpassed $17 million, propelling the project to become what Multiverse dreams it can become. Notable backers for One More MultiverseincludeTwitch streamer Pokimane, Twitch co-founder Kevin Lin, Crunchyroll co-founder Kun Gao, and Oculus VR co-founder Nate Mitchell.
One More Multiverse isn’t just a platform to connect players that choose to play TTRPGs online, but it also allows dungeon and game masters to create the world that they run. With Multiverse, they will be able to create their in-game worlds by building avatars, settings, and items with its massive pixel art library.
Much like a player might create levels inPS4’sDreams, GMs will be able to create virtually anything thanks to One More Multiverse’s expansive and growing library, which players can also upload their own creations onto for others to use. The platform will be freely available via web browsers and will support mobile devices.
One More Multiverseis slated to launch in Q3 2021.
