Eldritch Horror AR

By Druaightagh, in The Crystal Ball and The Wishing Well

Outline idea for an augmented reality app version of either Eldritch (or Arkham if that fits better) Horror, of course inspired by all the Pokemon GO talk at the moment, but also been thinking generally about a different way to bring board games to digital...

Through the tablet/phone app you'd see portals, monsters/cultists, clues, location effects and items with the app storing your stats, vitals and inventory.

Also the app would make it possible to sync up with other Investigators (players) present at the same location to fight monsters/close portals etc.

Basically all the mechanics of the board game/s but real life locations replace the board.

Wining or loosing would be done on a country wide scale (so objective successes would have to scale accordingly) - Once every so often (month/3 months?) there could be a new Great Old one for each country to fight, there'd be a website to see country and global statistics for seeing how we mere mortals are doing against the eldritch onslaught, with perhaps a global event once a year.
