Abstract

Tabletop board games are a collaborative creative process that can benefit from new technical tools to augment game sessions. This demo is an interactive map creator made to create and display dungeon maps for people who play tabletop board games. It has an editing component for people to make maps, and a display component to view and interact with those maps. Users can engage with the demo on two levels, as a creator making dungeon maps, or as a player exploring them.
