About

We created Battle Matrix to use in our own TTRPG sessions. With a group spread across three different time zones, it can be difficult to keep everyone on the same page. Longing for the simplicity of in-person sessions, we built our own tool. 

For our games, we connect to a Discord server and voice chat. The GM shares Battle Matrix and uses it to coordinate the game. Our online tabletop sessions are better than ever!
