overview

Dungeon Board is a Dungeons and Dragons companion app, designed for assisting in visualising encounters and making them more engaging for all players.

I created Dungeon Board to assist my own games of Dungeons and Dragons while in lockdown, but eventually refined it to the point where a few groups outside of my own have adopted it for their own use.

Despite the massive popularity of D&D, I found that the existing tools were either too complex for my needs, or too clunky and hard to use. Dungeon Board is a project designed for a very specific purpose - It is not a fully featured online D&D tool but is purposefully kept simple to make it easy to use. It is designed to be an auxiliary tool to assist in creating more immersive and enjoyable D&D sessions.
