If you spent some of your time during the Great Social Quarantine of 2020 playing games like Dungeons & Dragons via video chat, tools like Arealm are here to enhance that experience.
A little-known knock-on effect from last year’s lockdowns was a significant upswing in interest in tabletop and board games. D&D, in particular, had its most popular year on record, with thousands of new players jumping into games via Zoom, Hangouts, Discord, and other video chat programs.
That, in turn, has fueled a market for various programs and utilities to make “virtual D&D” flow better, and that’s where Arealm comes in. In addition to providing useful tools like a virtual dice roller, its marquee feature lets players masquerade as their D&D characters onscreen through augmented reality.
