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.

Boost your table-top role-playing experience with wonderful background ambiences to make your gaming sessions more immersive. These ambiences make your players feel right where you want them to be. Each soundscape is composed of several dozen beautiful, location-specific sounds, which blend to create a unique, constantly changing atmospheric background. These sound play at random times, volume, length, distance, reverb, and velocity to create an infinitely unique ambience with no repetitions. Timed events control the flow of each soundscape to bring changes in weather, day/night time and such conditions to life and to make these ambiences even more colourful. All of our soundscapes are 5.1 surround sounds. We create soundscapes specifically for our adventure modules available at https://elderbrain.com but they can be used in any setting. New updates with more free soundscapes will be continuously released for our past and future adventure modules.
