Public stats page
v0.3.8

September 23rd, 2026

  • Making a reddit post about reaching 200 users only to log on the next day and see 246 users inspired me to make the stat page public.
GM notebook
v0.3.7

September 23rd, 2026

  • The GM notes box is now a notebook of named notes instead of one long page. Keep a separate note per clearing to track what the factions get up to between sessions, or one per NPC or plot thread, and switch between them from the list on the left.
  • Notes can be renamed, reordered and deleted, and they stay private to the GM. Anything already written in the old GM notes box has been carried over as a note called Campaign notes, so nothing is lost.
Easier feats and backgrounds
v0.3.6

September 15th, 2026

Character creation

  • Roguish feats: on a playbook that picks a single extra feat, clicking a different feat now swaps it in straight away instead of asking you to untick the first one.
  • Background: every question on the background step is now optional, so you can fill in as much or as little as you like and come back to the rest later. Anything left blank is shown as a dash on the sheet.
Playbook stat corrections
v0.3.5

September 11th, 2026

  • Five playbooks had a stat that did not match the book: the Arbiter, Ronin and Hunter start at -1 Luck, and the Scoundrel and Raider start at -1 Cunning. Character creation now shows the printed numbers.
  • Existing characters of those playbooks have been adjusted by the same amount automatically. Your creation bonus and any stat advancements you have taken are kept, so only the wrong base value changed.
New portraits
v0.3.4

September 7th, 2026

  • Added a duck and a dog to the portrait picker. Open your character sheet and click your portrait to switch.

Behind the scenes

  • These release notes are no longer written into the page by hand. They live in the project files now, which means a note ships alongside the change it describes, and there is a full release history at the bottom of this panel rather than only the most recent few.
