Rumor has it that it may be haunted...

The body of Walter Corbitt is buried in the basement of the Corbitt house. The mind of Walter Corbitt still lives, aware of events within the house.

Corbitt knows Mythos magic that preserves his identity and enables him to animate his body after death. He sometimes vampirically preys upon residents of the house, driving away or slaying those who learn his secret. To solve the mystery posed to them, the investigators must learn about Corbitt. While they do this, Corbitt will be aware of the investigators and will try to mislead them and scare them away. Failing that, he will try to murder them.

What you get in an Ardent Roleplay Adventure?

This Ardent Roleplay Adventure includes a pre-made Campaign within the mobile app that includes one Session of 22 Augmented Reality (AR) Encounters. These are presented as AR 3D models on players' devices when they scan certain Encounter cards. Within each of these AR Encounters there are a varying number of prepared 'States' the GM can send to players during a game - allowing the GM to reveal new elements or information within the AR model in real time.

What are Sparks?

Sparks are our in-app currency. You can purchase them from our 'Store' in the Ardent Roleplay mobile app - and use them to purchase Adventures.

Once you’ve pressed ‘Host’ you will be brought to the GM Control Screen.

Go to the burger menu in the top left corner to find your Campaign Code and share this to your players.

Your players will have had downloaded the Ardent Roleplay mobile app, signed in and have created a character. They will use your Campaign Code to join your game.

Once players have joined, you will see their names in your players list and you are ready to go!

Send Players Encounters and States in the GM Control Screen. Select an Encounter >  select a State (categorised as Approach, View, Reveal, Resolve) > select (checkbox) which players you want to see this in AR, or ‘Send to All’. When players scan the card, they will now see what you sent them and see any further state changes you send to them in real time.

Get your Players to scan the relevant Encounter Card to see the AR. The Adventure playthrough guide tells you which cards are used, and you can also see this in your GM control screen (look to the card icon in the bottom right of the screen).

Have your players scan digital images of cards on a screen instead of physical cards. You can have them access an image gallery here: https://ardentroleplay.com/pnp/ 

Use our free VTT assets you can download and use to help facilitate online play (can include: maps, handouts, tokens).
