Social features are coming
Added 2021-01-04 17:34:52 +0000 UTCHappy new year!
Since the app first launched, people have been asking for ways to share campaigns with other players in their play groups. I've wanted to to this from the start, but as you probably can imagine, adding network features is a pretty big expansion of scope.
But the work has now begun -- starting with all of the groundwork needed to enable sharing -- namely accounts and a friend graph, as well as things you need to get approved in the app stores like Apple and Google sign in.
The screenshot I posted here will be coming to the app in the next couple weeks, but if you'd like you can actually register your account (and get your desired account name) right now by visiting https://arkhamcards.com. The website is still a bit threadbare, but you can access your 'Profile' from the menu after signing in and choose an account name today.
Will keep everyone posted as things continue to develop.

I'm hoping to make the Android Beta more widely available this year, but at the moment switching to the Beta branch causes your campaigns to be lost (not my choice, just a quirk of how Android uninstalls apps before reinstalling them). Once campaigns get uploaded to the cloud properly, I will feel better about encouraging more people to get onto the inside track on android.
2021-01-05 17:01:01 +0000 UTCThere is a TestFlight Beta, and switching between it and the main store is quite safe (I do it often). You can join here, I'll probably post an early version of the account stuff later this week once I settle on the basics of the campaign syncing. https://testflight.apple.com/join/vZ7pwvNM
