Why an iPhone works as a game master’s remote
- One hand. Scenes switch with a single tap, and each one plays exactly as you saved it, with nothing to adjust mid-game.
- Siri. Say “Play a Summoning Stone scene” or build a Shortcut that also sets your lights. See how.
- Speaker options. Bluetooth works with everything. See AirPlay and Bluetooth.
- A TV for artwork. Mirror your phone to a TV to show maps and artwork with rain, snow, fog, smoke or magic effects. See how.
- No account to try it. You can demo Summoning Stone without creating an account.
Tips for iPhone game masters
- Prepare scenes before the session, then run the game from your saved scenes.
- Keep the phone on a stand with Siri enabled so you can trigger scenes while you talk.
- Pair a Bluetooth speaker for the whole table.
