Whispers

Sometimes you don't want the whole table to see a message — maybe you're the DM giving a player a secret clue, or two players are coordinating a plan. Whispers let you send a chat message to a specific person, the DM only, or the whole party minus the DM.

Choosing who sees your message​

Click the To: selector above the chat input to choose your audience:

  • Everyone — visible to the whole campaign (the default)
  • DM — visible only to you and the DM
  • An individual player's name — a private whisper to just that player
  • Party (No DM) — visible to every player except the DM

Whispering with /w​

For speed, you can whisper without touching the selector at all. Type /w followed by a player's name and your message:

/w kylie Did you see that trap?

As you type /w, a filtered list of matching recipients pops up automatically — keep typing to narrow it down, or press Enter to pick the top match and keep typing your message on a clean line.

tip

You can also type dm, party, or everyone/all after /w instead of a name — e.g. /w dm I found something suspicious.

If the name doesn't match anyone in the campaign, Tarrasque.io will let you know so you can fix the spelling before sending.

Spotting a whisper in chat​

Whispered messages are marked clearly so no one mistakes them for public chat — a copper accent bar, italic text, and a "Whispered to: <name>" label naming who can see it.
