About this game

The Calamus is a companion for tabletop roleplaying games, such as Dungeons & Dragons or Pathfinder, that allows you to create huge battlemaps utilizing dozens of hand-drawn tiles, create custom PC, NPC, and FOE tokens, and host games in which players can add and move their own characters in real-time.

The Calamus also features a robust chat, in which you can send messages as yourself or any token you have in play, publicly or privately.

Fog of War and 2x2 Characters have recently been added.

Ratings and reviews

Huge potential for being a working mobile map editor, but not enough features even when your subscription is working to be worth it. Buggy, silly design choices, and my premium features cannot be renewed even when I'm paying for it. Kind of annoying to have to cycle through tiles to get the exact right one, and you need to add more stuff to keep people from getting bored since there's only so much you can do.

The app runs well. When working on a large map, it does lag, but that was expected. After making a couple of small maps, I decided to purchase premium. No issues that I've noticed with access. Things I didn't like. The map creation only allows a zoom of 25 or 75%, I'd prefer pinch zoom as an option. When exporting a map, it will allow me to see the full map, but it doesn't actually download anywhere on my phone. Screenshots are blurry. I want to print so that sucks. No animals or people

Question: For the subscription, does it charge you automatically once your free trial is over or do you have to manually subscribe (because if it automatically charges you, I feel like you should put something kind of warning)? Also, some feedback is the font choice since I find it difficult to read it on mobile (because of both the font size and the actual font), but besides that, I think it's an interesting app Edit: Ok thanks :)

BUG FIXES
Some users were having issues with deleting tiles from their map staying deleted. This build should fix the issue moving forward. Also, this build fixes an issue for people trying to resubscribe.
