Beholder's Almanac Android Application

Created by Ernest Gygax and David Arneson, Dungeons and Dragons debuted 1974 as a fantasy role-playing game with over 50 million players since its release. With a game that was released before the VHS was established there have been numerous updates and quality of life adjustments over the life of the game. But to its core the game is still a pencil and paper game with dice as its core mechanic. The issue arises as games become more complicated, characters have more stats and enemies become more numerous keeps tracking of all these things with just a pencil and paper can at times feel antiquated and clunky. Making sure you’re properly keeping track of all of this can take away from the purpose of the game, the roleplaying.

2,500,000,000. There are over 2.5 billion active Android users worldwide, with more than 3 million devices across the globe using the Android operating system.
