Looks like you can still buy if from the company that make it (Lone Wolf Developments, wolflair.com) but it doesn't look like it's been updated in a while. Looks like they're really pushing their RPG character sheet thing now so AB doesn't get much developer time spent on it. Source: over 1 year ago

I'm doing a DnD session on Talespire and when doddling around I was able to develope a decent sewer/port type dungeon with little traps, hazards and mobs themed to sewers. Source: 12 months ago
I've been eyeing TaleSpire, but I wanted to ask you fine people what you think before making the plunge. Setting aside all connectivity issues and looking purely at the tabletop experience on a single PC, which VTT do you think provides the best experience for a solo game? Source: about 1 year ago
I feel that list articles don't meet the standard for a good HN submission. In the interest of discussing tabletop map tools, one that isn't mentioned which is frankly amazing is: TaleSpire[1]. The quality of their asset packs for building maps is fantastic and you can actually play with friends using it. [1] https://talespire.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
Talespire - 3D! Cool features and heroforge support. A little bit of a learning curve to make actual maps though. Also, making a 3d map is killer for immersion, but it also kills your prep time. Definitely recommend, if you're interested in 3d and choose this one, that you learn to use the community to its fullest to help you save on prep. Source: about 1 year ago
