Having great maps for your gaming sessions helps everyone have more fun. But printing tons of maps for everyone to see can be a pain (and expensive). Just showing a map on a screen can reveal too much about your adventure. Fantazio lets you, the GM, have the flexibility to use as many maps as you would like, hiding and revealing only what you want your players to see. Your iPad will show and control your view of the map. By sharing your iPad screen via AirPlay or connecting an external diplay, your players will only see the areas you revealed to them. ## Key features - Dynamic map revealing - GM control over player view - Screen sharing via AirPlay - External display support - Unlimited map usage ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **Subscriptions** | Subscription | Price | Period | | --- | --- | --- | | Lesser Restoration | $1.49 | per month | | Greater Restoration | $15.49 | per year | **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Color Spray | $1.99 | one-time | | Stinking Cloud | $2.99 | one-time | | Fireball | $5.99 | one-time | | Wall of Fire | $10.99 | one-time | | Meteor Storm | $24.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (5 of 5) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/fantazio/id1515266362/reviews.md ### 2/5 — Was a great app, but now not supported *2023-09-18* I finally purchased a TV for in person role play games and intended on using this app with a spare iPad, but it now looks like it no longer works or hasn’t been updated or supported in years. Shame. Very simple and cool idea. ### 2/5 — would be cool...if it worked... *2023-03-04, version 1.0.1* so, there's no developer support, their website has no contact info anywhere, and, on a 1st gen 11" pro running ios 16.3.1 (and it did it on iOS 14 and 15 as well) as soon as you turn on screen mirroring (you know, like it's supposed to do?) it crashes the app. you can't even open it if mirroring is on. it's truly a shame, I really love the idea, too bad it won't work.... ### 3/5 — Love the app, seems finicky to use *2023-01-05, version 1.0.1* I tried using this app, I loved the concept of being able to create my own maps in Inkarnate and Dungeon Scrawl and projecting them to a display for my players. I ran into issues trying to use it on a 6th gen iPad Pro over Airplay. I don’t know if the app needs an update to work with the newer devices, but I’m hoping at some point I can maybe get it to start working. ### 5/5 — Excellent companion to Game Master 5 *2021-12-24, version 1.0.1* This handles maps and fog of war. That is it, but it is all that is needed. BUG REPORT: 1) load a map 2) using the navigation tool, and pinch to zoom, zoom in quite a bit 3) scroll around so you are looking at the edge of the map 4) zoom out again The zoom out operation doesn’t center on the point you are looking at, so the map moves in strange ways. Even worse if the movement should cause the visible area of the map to leave the screen, such that we see only parchment, it is not possible to get it back. Touching the parchment area doesn’t allow you to move or resize the map. You’ll have to reload the map and reexpose the content from scratch. Some improvements: ================ Zoom centering should be fixed. The map should not be allowed to fully leave the visible area / and or the parchment area should be considered live. Double clicking the navigator control might resize and center the image per when it is first loaded. The currently in use control should be highlighted. It isn’t clear that show all and hide all should be shown next to the show / display region operations since their operation is abrupt and non-modal. Same for open, external show and help. ### 5/5 — Tabletop RPG + Apple TV = Win *2020-06-17, version 1.0* I’ve been been looking for a general GM tool to reveal maps from my iPad to players during in-person role gaming. Although very simple, it does exactly what I need — selectively reveal a map via AirPlay to our 55” TV. Works great with Apple Pencil. I’m using it with sci-fi games, so it’d be nice to have non-parchment or other backgrounds and it could be useful to include tokens/sprites to show player, encounter and NPC locations but hey, map reveal works very well and I’m good with a one trick pony! ## Frequently asked questions about Fantazio ### How does Fantazio help Game Masters?

The new Map Library lets you add, rename, reorder, and switch between maps instantly. Each map maintains its own independent fog of war settings, so you can prepare multiple dungeon levels or encounter areas and switch between them during play. The external display only updates when you tap the AirPlay button, letting you prep maps privately before revealing them to players. Import Maps from Files You can now import map images directly from the Files app in addition to your Photo Library. This makes it easier to use maps downloaded from the web or stored in cloud services like iCloud, Dropbox, or Google Drive. Refreshed Tool Icons The hide and reveal brush tools have new, more intuitive icons. The hide brush now uses a paintbrush icon, while the reveal brush uses an eraser icon. The reset view button has been updated to use a scope/crosshairs icon for better clarity. Improved Onboarding A new "Floating Palette Buttons" page has been added to the onboarding tutorial, showing all nine tool icons with clear descriptions of what each one does. This helps new users quickly understand the interface. Better Error Messages When importing a map image that is too large or invalid, you will now see a clear error message explaining the issue instead of the import silently failing.
