Augmented Reality has significantly declined, with fewer developers designing experiences for either dedicated or compatible devices. Although the market for AR has become more affordable and open to the consumer market, interest in developing products for this market has only decreased. This paper covers our findings regarding whether consumers still found AR engaging and if we could design such an experience. Through research, we determined that a feasible and exciting way to utilize Augmented Reality was to explore the crossroads of AR and tabletop games. We developed a Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition game module with integrated Augmented Reality tools. We propose solutions by deciphering the strengths of tabletop gameplay and enriching them via novel applications in AR.
