Who Turned On The Lights?
Hello Questers!
The dwarf with the braids in her hair looks at you intensely, as if she recognizes the organization The Sourknives, and it’s not with fondness. No one is meant to know about them. What do you do?
It has been a busy March so far, as you might have noticed! As there’s lots to get through, let’s crack in!
Something Fun Friday crafted first - Go to your campaign chat. Click on your portrait next to the chat field. You can now chat in chat as your owned/claimed characters by clicking on their avatar. For GMs, any character that is visible to players and owned by you, you can also chat as. It’s been a hotly requested feature, and good news continues, as it’s also available on the mobile app!
Folders in Folders in Folders in Folders - Folders can now contain 2 more layers of nested. Which is extremely helpful for those of us who need more organization in our lives... I mean prep. Organization in our prep… Plus, you can also resize the Notes sidebar, making it easier to see the Note inside those deep deep folders.
Campaign Library! The campaign library needed to be updated to better support the upcoming Marketplace. Each campaign can now have its own custom library, made up of only sources that the GM wants included. This helps players know what books are being used for the game, and for the AI Assistant to read very specifically from your custom Library. You can also set books that the AI Assistant doesn’t read from for further customization. Plus, you can also add books that you purchase from the Marketplace.
We sneakily released Marketplace 2.0 mid week last week, which allows you to buy premium books from our partnered publishers! Initially launching with books from 3 publishers, there’s a wealth of TTRPG goodness to pick up a play, from rulebooks like Everyday Heroes from Evil Genius Games, to setting guides such as Aetherial Expanse Setting Guide from Ghostfire Gaming as well as amazing Solo RPGs from Chaosium using the Call of Cthulhu 7e system - face off against the Tide, the Frost and the Dark in the Alone Against the World bundle!
Keep an eye out over the coming weeks as more books are added to the roster, including from independent publishers!
Marketplace 2.0’s launch focusing on books is the first step in our road map to releasing Marketplace support for tokens, maps, NPCs and whole campaigns. We have been tireless in the last couple of months working hard on this, and the work will continue until we have full campaign support - for both major publishers and independent creators.
Prepare to hold on as a lot of new features will be coming to support this goal of ours! Plus, long time requested Token upgrades were shipped this morning - Tokens can now have field of vision, breaking through the fog of war for that player’s character token - but also tokens can also be used as a light source: providing light and vision for everyone!
