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.
