Project Website

The objective of the SurfaceScapes project is to create a proof-of-concept for playing tabletop role-playing games on the Microsoft Surface Table. Our existing system from the previous semester provides players with a set of features to enhance the combat and role-playing aspects of tabletop games. This semester, Surfacescapes will focus on further developing that system and providing robust tools for Game Masters to create original adventures. We are taking traditional tabletop role-playing games to the next level, adding a new layer of immersive and intuitive gaming to the Microsoft Surface Table and assisting both GMs and players in enjoying exciting and engaging adventures. SurfaceScapes… what lies beneath.
