and where to find them
This article gives you a rundown on how to navigate the UI and buttons on your player interface in the Ardent Roleplay mobile app.
What is the player interface?
In the mobile app, the player interface appears as an overlay for your device's camera. While in this screen, you will scan Encounter Cards at the direction of your GM to see AR models appear.
In Encounter Mode The GM has control of what AR Encounter appears on the card and when state changes within those encounters are shown to individual players.
