## Description

Ardent Roleplay brings augmented reality (AR) to your tabletop roleplaying games, allowing both players and Game Masters to immerse themselves in rich, animated campaigns. As a player, you can connect with your party, customize your character, explore animated settings, interact with NPCs and creatures, and track your character's health and status during battles.

Game Masters benefit from a comprehensive Creation Kit to build and customize campaigns, send secret messages, and select from hundreds of animated models to enhance encounters. The app is compatible with all RPG systems and can be used alongside physical miniatures in both remote and face-to-face sessions. Enjoy a free 30-day trial, free sample packs, and licensed adventures such as "The Haunting" for Call of Cthulhu. Ardent Roleplay also offers printable cards and has received industry recognition with an ARPIA nomination for Best Electronic Product in 2019.
