Description
Thespian: the emote soundboard for your roleplay
Hit a button, play a beat.
Thespian turns your favourite roleplay lines and emotes into big, clickable buttons, like a soundboard for your character. Stop retyping /me strokes their chin thoughtfully. for the hundredth time: click once and stay in the scene.
What you get
- 70+ ready-made emotes across five tabs: Greetings, Gestures, Emotions, Actions and Speech
- Your own buttons: build custom emotes with a label, a channel (Emote
/me, Say, Yell, Party or a standard emote likeWAVE) and a category - Target-aware: write
%tand Thespian swaps in your target's name - Live preview of the exact chat line, in the builder and when hovering any button
- Quick emote box for the line that doesn't deserve its own button
- Minimap button with a golden theatre mask (left-click to open, right-click for options, drag to move)
- Options panel in the game's own settings: scale, opacity, lock position, close-after-use, tooltips and more
- Blizzard-style look that fits right into the game
- No dependencies, no clutter: one small addon, and it never speaks unless you click
How it works
- Type
/thespianor click the minimap mask. - Pick a tab, click a button. You've emoted.
- Want something personal? Click + New Emote, write it, save it. Your buttons show up in green; right-click to edit or delete.

FAQ
Does it send anything on its own? No. Only when you click a button or press Enter.
Where are my custom emotes saved? Account-wide, so all your characters share them.
Does it replace Total RP 3 or other profile addons? No, they do different jobs.
Can I share my emotes? Not yet. Import/export is on the wishlist.

Made for the people who play their characters rather than just their rotations.
