Mystic Realms is a comprehensive roleplaying game system that can be played in two ways. As a real-time, true-action, full-costumed experience or as a pause-time, narrative experience played live-action in costume or around the tabletop using miniatures on a tactical map. Each style of play focuses on creating dramatic, character-driven stories with excitement, emotion, and challenge. The Mystic Realms DICE! App is used with the pause-time narrative experience. Instead of rolling dice, players can use the app to quickly resolve game tests with just a screen press. The app also makes using knowledge skills easier by including a code reader to reveal important plot information during play. The app helps players embrace theatric immersion by turning their device into a useful in-play object.
