The table on mobile and tablet

The table on mobile and tablet: the bottom bar, the tools sheet, the controller and gestures.

On a narrow screen the table changes shape so everything fits without scrolling: the tool rail and the dock disappear, and a bottom bar with the most used buttons takes their place. It is the same table with the same permissions; only where each thing lives changes.

Where to find it

Below 900 px wide the table shows the bottom bar with four buttons: Dice, Tools, Search and Chat. To the left of the bar go your health and AC, if you have a character. In written mode the bar does not appear: the chat composer takes the foot and the tools are in the "⋯" menu of The table.

What changes compared to the computer

  • Tools: the rail opens as a sheet with the tools in a grid (three per row) from Tools. At the top, the person running the game picks the level: play, run or build. Choosing a tool applies it and closes the sheet; see Map tools.
  • Dock: its entries are in that same sheet and in the search of Search (Search the table).
  • Chat: Chat opens the side panel as a sheet; drag its edge handle to raise or lower it.
  • Dice: one tap from the bar opens the dice tray.
  • Controller: if you play a character on the map, Controller appears, a sheet with your tokens, a cross pad and a minimap to move, your macros and a shortcut to your sheet. It is the way to play in person with the phone as a controller; see Playing in person.
  • Touch to move: you can drag pieces with your finger; several fingers move several pieces at once, and only what you touch on top of a piece is picked up.
  • Menus: right-click is replaced by a long press on the token or element, which opens the same menu (see Tokens).

Tips

Tip. With a tablet held horizontally, or a phone turned past 900 px wide, the desktop rail and dock come back.

  • Put the table on a clean screen (Clean screen) to see the map without pieces.
  • If something in the dock is far from your thumb you can arrange it your way; see Customising the HUD.

Known limits

  • In written mode there is no bottom bar.
  • The tools sheet offers the same as the rail but closes when you choose one; for comfortable painting or building, a wide screen is better.

Common problems

"I cannot find the dock on mobile." It does not exist below 900 px: use Tools or Search.

"The map moves when I try to move a piece." A piece is picked up by touching on top of it; if you touch outside, you drag the map.
