Fog of War

Add an element of surprise with a Fog of War

Gradually reveal your battlemap with a simple Fog of War Tool to create an element of surprise around your gaming table. Our fog tool lets you effortlessly add or remove fog, adjusting the level of visibility on the battlefield. Game Masters can toggle between player preview and transparency to fine tune their perfect battlemap.

To start, click the cloud icon to start using the Fog of War tool. When enabled you will see a few options to choose from.

The first is a toggle. Green + allows you to add Fog of War, and a red - allows you to remove fog of War. When adding, the boundaries are dark, and when removing, the boundary is red.

There are two types of tools for Fog of War: Polygon and Square. The tool selected will be a pale blue color.

Polygon

Symbol: Two lines with three squares. To use, click onto the canvas area and keep clicking at each corner of the shape you want to create. To close the shape, click on the original point of the Polygon.

Square

Symbol: Filled square. To use, Left click + drag until you have the size and shape of the square that you want. Then let go of the click.

Reveal All

Symbol: Trash can. This removes all the fog from the canvas, revealing the entire image or map.

Player Preview

Symbol: An eye. This feature allows you to preview what the fog looks like from the player's perspective.

Note 1: You can also use the keyboard shortcut to access the Fog of War tool by using "F".

Note 2: When in Fullscreen mode, when using F to access Fog of War, it will give you Polygon Fog of War tool set to adding fog, not removing it.

See Tokens to learn about the option to have tokens act as localized clearing of Fog of War, centered on the token.
