Say the name of a token. It comes out of your printer. Nobody can have every token handy when the situation calls for it. Cauldron is a life counter / token-printer. Hold the microphone, say "goblin" or "4/4 angel with flying" or "treasure," and the card is found, dithered and printed on receipt paper in about a second. LIFE COUNTER • Drag from one seat to another to deal commander damage. • Draw a glyph on a seat to give it the monarch, poison, energy, experience, rads or the city's blessing. • Three fingers across the board starts a new game. Two fingers opens the settings. • Supports up to 8 players in a pod (7+ on iPad / tablet only) • Say "2/4/6/8 players" to change the game size. • This is a full-fledged life counter, without menus. THE PRINTER • Cauldron drives the Phomemo M110 or MUNBYN FM226 over Bluetooth. • The printers use no ink - merely fast heat transfer to receipt paper, they will not smear. • The batteries last several days on a single charge over USB-C. DICE AND COINS AND MORE • Say "roll a d20" or "flip a coin." • Four, six, eight, ten, twelve, twenty and a hundred sides... • all announced out loud by a voice synthesizer that sounds like it was built in 1982. • "Momir {number}" to get a random creature. say "Calling Mr. Vig" for a standalone momir vig faux-payphone interface. THE TOKEN INDEX Say "token index" or hold four fingers on the board to open it. • Browse and search every printable token, by name or by artist, with filters for each kind of token. • Swipe through each token's artwork and print the one you like. • Tap an artwork to keep it out of random picks, or long-press to always print that one. • SHUFFLE, RANDOM and SEQUENTIAL control how artwork is dealt when you ask by voice. • A UB switch keeps Universes Beyond artwork out of random picks. • Add your own artwork to any token from your camera or photo library, with or without the token's text printed under it. • Favorites: drag the heart onto artwork you love, then print one, print them all, or share them as an Instagram story. • See any card full screen, with the artist credited underneath. • Tap (i) for a guide to everything. Every token is indexed on your phone, so lookup is quick. Speech is recognised on the device. Nothing about your game is uploaded anywhere. No Accounts. No Signups. WHAT YOU NEED A Phomemo M110 or MUNBYN FM226 printer and a roll of thermal paper. Cauldron will show you which paper and printer to purchase. Card data and images from Scryfall.
