01 THE IDEA
A name can be a home base
Tabletop is bigger than the game on the table.
It’s the people, the groups, the worlds, and the work that keep bringing us back. .trpg gives those parts of the hobby a shared naming space: a memorable address for an identity, a project, or a community.
Find your use for it ↘“
Not a claim to own the hobby. A way to put your own name on the part you make.
THE .TRPG IDEA02 / Put a name to work
Made for more than one kind of player.
Use a name as an address, a signpost, or a durable identity you can take with you.
Your regular table
Make a home for a campaign group: schedules, house rules, session recaps, safety tools, and shared resources.
ourtable.trpgYour creative work
Point people to an independent game, actual-play show, convention, podcast, or a small publishing studio.
storyforge.trpgYour shared world
Collect a setting’s maps, lore, characters, and play materials under one memorable banner.

03 WHY NAMEBASE
A personal review
I like the people who listen, then ship.
I became a Namebase fan through the work itself. I asked for a bulk import that would make pricing and reserving hundreds of names practical. The feature arrived quickly. I gave more feedback about gifting, and they improved that too.
That matters to me. A registry platform is infrastructure, but it is also a relationship with the people trying to build something on it. Namebase made it easier for me to operate .trpg and focus on the names, the policy, and the community I want to serve.

Handshake supplies the naming layer
Handshake is an open naming protocol with top-level names recorded on its blockchain. Ownership and DNS records are controlled with keys, rather than granted by one conventional root operator.
Namebase makes it usable
Namebase provides the registry and marketplace tools: search, register, set prices, reserve names, and manage second-level names under a TLD.
You keep control of your keys
Namebase’s current registry is non-custodial. Its published agreement says the TLD owner controls the name and keys, and payments for names go directly to the TLD owner.
↗
Handshake changes who controls the naming root. It does not magically decentralize every website hosted under a name.
04 / From name to destination
Three parts. One address.
Buying a name, pointing it somewhere, and resolving it are related steps—but they are not the same step.
CHOOSE
Find a name under .trpg
Search the Namebase registry for the name you want. The standard .trpg price is $17.99 per year. Reserved identity names are $49 per year or $500 for a permanent mint, subject to eligibility and rights review.
Search .trpg on Namebase ↗POINT
Give the name a destination
A name does not automatically contain a website. Its DNS records tell a resolver where to go: a website, a payment address, or another service. Keep the TLD’s Namebase registry NS/DS records intact so annual names can resolve. If you offer permanent mints, the additional mint-contract NS record must also stay published.
Namebase: connect a website ↗RESOLVE
Use a Handshake-aware resolver
Most default browser and network settings do not look up Handshake names. To visit one, use a browser or device configured for Handshake resolution. Without that support, a regular DNS resolver won’t know what .trpg means.

ABOUT PERMANENT MINTING
A permanent mint has no renewal date, but it is irreversible. It still depends on .trpg staying renewed and both the Namebase registry NS/DS records and the additional mint-contract NS record remaining in place. Check the exact mint format and make sure your resolver supports it before buying.
05 / This site’s stack
A decentralized name deserves
a portable destination.
This site is published as static files on IPFS through Pinner. IPFS addresses content by its contents, so a published version has a verifiable content address. Handshake provides the name layer; IPFS provides the content layer.
Handshake
The name and its DNS records are anchored to a decentralized protocol.
IPFS
The site files are addressed by content, rather than by one server location.
Your wallet
Keys are how you control your names. Back them up and never share a recovery phrase.
Decentralization is a property of the pieces working together. A gateway or pinning provider can still affect convenience and availability; keep control of the name and understand where the files are pinned.
06 / A thoughtful registry
Good names. Clear rules.
.trpg is meant to be a useful namespace for tabletop roleplaying—not a pile of brand names waiting to be claimed.
