Director Statement

Our flagship product is Ardent Roleplay is an augmented reality companion app for tabletop roleplaying games. Ardent Roleplay brings augmented reality scenery, creatures, characters, and props to the table, and can be used in a mix with physical miniatures as well. More importantly however, Ardent Roleplay allows a game master to individualise the information shown to different players, i.e. manage secrets properly, in the form of different visual models and accompanying text. Our app allows players to be more selective with what they share with the other players, who haven't overheard the GM's reveals. This brings more roleplay, and the possibility of intrigue, into the game, which also increases immersion in the game world.
