The brief
abletop Roleplaying Games (TTRPGs) are collaborative storytelling games where players assume fictional roles guided by a Dungeon Master (DM). While popular, TTRPGs often have a steep learning curve due to their complex rules and varied game systems. While many VTTs and digital apps exist to simplify mechanics, many with great ideas, nothing incorporates many useful elements into one unified, holistic solution. This can alienate and confuse players, hindering their enjoyment of the game.
This study aimed to design and develop a curated mobile application for Table-Top Role-Playing Game (TTRPG) enthusiasts, including veteran players, casual players, and especially newcomers to the hobby.
What I did
A public survey was run to assess play opinions on how best a tabletop VTT solution could be made in a way that provides solutions to primary problems.
After launch
The findings from this study were used to refine the Figma prototype.
