🆕 What’s New in Chapter 2?
🎲New Features
Music & Ambience Board
You can now add music and ambience sounds to your game with our new Music & Ambience Board. On top of that: Each ambience and music track also has an intensity slider so you can customize your listening experience:
A little rain can turn into a massive storm, or distant wolf howls can suddenly feel like they're right next to you.
Is your party low on health and about to go down? Crank up the intensity! The music changes at your demand.
Fog of War
You can now add Fog of War to your Maps to hide enemies or map parts. As a GM these blocks are see through but as a player they are pitch black …until a player moves their miniature inside it that is.
Animations in Tabletop Mode
We have now added the ability to show animation even when in tabletop mode. This means your GM can now stay in full control in tabletop mode while still seeing what the party is up to.
Initiative Tracker & HP Bars
The new Initiative tracker allows your GM to start an encounter at any time. By pressing the “Start Combat” button inside the new miniature overview tab. This will open the “Combat Preparation” Window where all participants for the encounter can be selected.
Starting combat will spawn the Initiative Tracker for everyplayer. In here the GM can go through the turn order by using the “End Turn” Button.
HP Bars
We have also added the ability to show HP bars so that you can easily keep track of the HP of all miniatures on the board.
This setting can be configured under the “Settings” menu in the Pause Menu. Here you can currently toggle between enabled and disabled. (More settings are planned)
Enhanced Character Sheets
Dive deeper into your character's capabilities with the new improved Character Sheet, now displaying your:
- Class / Species
- Actions & Abilities
- Spells
- Equipment
Spells
In the new spells tab, you can now manage your character's spells. The spell sheets include the entire 5e OGL spell library for you to use. And: You can also cast spells directly from the tab, which automatically tracks your spell slots for you and shares the spell descriptions with your party in the chat.
Actions, Features & Traits
The new actions tab lets you keep track of all the actions your character can unleash individualized based on your character class and equipped gear.
Also, you are able to look at the features & traits provided by your class and species.
Inventory
In the Inventory page, you can manage your character’s equipment as well as keep track of your parties gold.
Stats Page Overhaul
We have improved the current stats page: You can now select your class, subclass as well as species and subspecies. On top of that, we have also polished the general UI Design.
Character Customization
Next to the content of the 5e OGL library (using the https://dnd.wizards.com/resources/systems-reference-document), you are able to add your own content to the game as well!
For more info and an in-depth explanation, we will be adding tutorials in the following days over HERE.
