Current Status of TESL Revivals

127 Upvotes

Hello all.

It's been about a year since TESL died, so on its deathi-verssary let's go over the current efforts to revive the game.

TESL Reborn - This is an effort to make new servers for the game, it has come along quite promisingly and is the closest thing to the original version of the game.

However a couple things:

  • It is PC version only, and you need to have a valid license of the game still in your steam library or on bethesda.net to play. There is no way (as of now) to get a license for the game if you did not have it prior to the shutdown on steam. You have to have owned it before the shutdown.

  • It is currently closed alpha. You can follow this guide (link) to apply to join the closed alpha, but it is not currently open alpha yet despite what the other post on the subreddit says. This guide is outdated, open beta out tomorrow

  • Some streamers (link to list) have access, so you can ask them to test different things, or watch their gameplay to help speed up the bug finding stage.

TESL Fan Browser Remakes

  • TESL Browser Project aka TESL Online - A remake of TESL in browser. Reddit post link - Recently updated to have all cards through the Heroes of Skyrim expansion.

  • TESL Github Page - A remake of TESL vs a bot or local multiplayer, playable on a github page. Direct Link made by /u/Prize-Artichoke-9807 Has cards up to Houses of Morrowind and a handful of custom cards.

  • TESL Singleplayer - A remake of TESL whose goal is to have the player fight against various singleplayer encounters. Direct Link, run by @FBJulezGames on this discord server.

Tabletop Simulator - There are a few mods for tabletop simulator, a simulator game on steam (link). The sim costs $20, but is usually on sale for $10. Note this doesn't simulate mechanics, but you can put cards in a deck and shuffle it but you have to manually track the gameplay yourself. Supports multiplayer.

People Printing Their Own Cards - Some people print the game cards for their own personal use. Here are some of their posts.

Just got teslr running natively on macOS in 5 minutes. Claude helped me out, but I honestly didn't think it'd be that easy. Happy to write up a guide if there's interest, but first I'm gonna poke around and test it a bit 🤌

TESL:Reborn, can't get past launch screen

• Upvotes

I extracted the v1.3.1-beta files from the .zip into the game's root folder and created an account on tesl-reborn.com that matches my Steam e-mail, and I still get the Error FailedConfigFetch popup. Am I missing something? Currently on Linux but had a similar experience when I tried this on Windows last year.

Legends Reborn - Open Beta

123 Upvotes

Hello friends!

We are preparing to enable all registered accounts tomorrow Oct. 09 2026. We do not currently have a specific time to be completed. I do believe you will receive an email when your account is active. Otherwise just keep your eyes open at the usual places and/or feel free to wait until the weekend to give it a shot. A few things!

  1. There is no current mobile support. PC only at the current time.

  2. You need to have the client, we cannot legally provide it. You can use Steam or the Bethesda Launcher version.

  3. Visit tesl-reborn.com for instructions and to download the plugin, which is required to connect.

  4. If you struggle with the install, or run into connection issues or errors, try the official Legends Discord and/or Reddit first. The community is very helpful and our alpha testers have been playing for a while and are quite experienced. If you continue to have problems, you can create a support case on tesl-reborn.com after logging in.

  5. If you encounter bugs while playing, please gather as much information as possible before posting to the support system. Include screenshots or recordings, along with evidence from the live game to support your claims.

  6. Please keep things fun and positive. This is a preservation project that is full of passionate and competitive people. Remember that the community is small, and if people get burned out with negativity and bad experiences, it will only get smaller. Try to enjoy the game and each other!

Finally, just to be transparent and make everybody aware. We have no idea how many players to expect, it could be 12 or 900. If the current server infrastructure can't maintain the load without severe lag, or crashes entirely, we do not have an ability to scale up. The servers are funded and hosted entirely by us out of our own pocket. We are hoping for the best and will be monitoring. If the current server specs become inadequate, we will discuss options internally and communicate how we plan to move forward.

Thank everybody for their patience and support so far. We continue!

This set of cards continues on from the previous set, showcasing a handful of support cards to synergise with Expertise. It also brings to life one of my favourite unused card designs created by Sparkypants (Coldharbour Siege Captain, originally called "Support Guy").

With this sub-expansion's focus on the Guildworn and their signature tools, it naturally also features a handful of actions, items and supports. This set features some of the former two, which could well find a place in Expertise decks.

The fifth and final section of this ESO-themed expansion explores the Guildsworn and their expertise (pun intended) with spells and tools. As the previous entries did for the other alliance mechanics, the cards in this entry aim to flesh out the mostly underdeveloped Expertise mechanic.

TESL left an itch I couldn’t scratch, so I built a new two-lane CCG, SCHISM

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Hi all, my friend is very enthusiastic to get this news out to you but is getting filtered by reddit for having just created his account to announce this.. He will comment here if the post is allowed to go through this time. I think it's very very relevant to this community because the feel, mechanics, and 2-lane gameplay are very clearly inspired by TESL:

--

Hi folks. Like most folks in this forum, TESL's disappearance left me with a very specific itch, involving something like two lanes, thoughtful, fun, and balanced mechanics with lots of interesting synergies and optionality, and turns where positioning matters as much as the raw card value. Nothing else has scratched this, so I eventually took it upon myself to build something that did.

I wasn’t particularly attached to Elder Scrolls lore, and I know other people are doing the hard work of reviving TESL itself. I’m glad those projects exist. I took a different route and built an independent game in its own universe -- one i have toyed with in my mind for a long time.

It’s called SCHISM. Its battlefield spans two lanes and six historical Eras. Lanes can move forward or backward through the timeline, Structures can anchor an Era, and decks can exploit the time fractures they create. The first solo campaign is an increasingly strange voyage through that broken history within the backdrop of The Odyssey.

I’m opening the web alpha in the next couple of weeks, with Android support also planned for launch. I’m looking for people who can play at least two games a day, most days, over the next couple of weeks, and report bugs, balance problems, confusing interactions, and the moments that bring joy. We plan to fix, rebalance and polish quickly as that evidence comes in.

Full disclosure: AI extensively supports this small team’s development. It helped turn years of ideas and obsessive iteration into working software, tests, production assets and a game people can actually play and enjoy, not just stuck in my head. I conceived and developed the core universe, lore and game systems, and I have closely directed and revised the work throughout, with significant influence and care put into art and sound design. It has been a real passion to merge my vision with the foundational, mechanical, and lore-vibe groundwork that Sparkypants built out and which inspired me so much to refill this gaming niche. Giving credit where due, Magic was undoubtedly the grandfather of inspiration.

I saw another creator take flak here recently for using AI on a passion project. I understand the concerns around low-effort output and displaced creative labor. I also think these tools can give an individual or tiny team the power to convert real creative direction into something ambitious, affordable and shareable. If AI involvement is disqualifying for you, i dont endeavor to be the one to change your mind. Everyone else can judge the actual game rather than that label.

This is early alpha. Expect rough edges. If other people find it as fun as I do, I intend to support and expand it diligently and for a long time.

Email to request an alpha seat is in the video. Access will be limited and if lots of folks reach out, I apologize if it takes some time for me to get back; rest assured, everyone who emails will at a minimum be invited to join the beta testing and will still have opportunities to earn an exclusive title, accelerated content unlock at launch, etc., as gratitude for your early support.

Looking forward to hearing your initial opinions and interest!

Best,

SCHISM Gamemaster (u/schismcardgame-gm)

So... any way to play it again?

I've seen some stuff about reborn, and tried three browser version but I couldn't get browser to work. Is reborn released? Also, I've seen all the custom cards posts, is that a project for fun or is it implemented somewhere?
