Respites and Journals!

Version 0.0.758 of the Draw Steel Codex is now available!

This weeks update is primarily focused on bug fixes. We have rapidly implemented a lot of new features since entering Early Access and been working hard at implementing more content. The stability, performance and robustness of the rules are very important to us and MCDM so we have taken the opportunity to briefly pause to consolidate the Codex and spend time resolving bugs. We'd like to give a big thank you to the community for reporting bugs and helping to make the Codex the best VTT it can be.

New this week

• Rival Monsters echelons 1 - 4 first pass has been implemented in the bestiary. And the Black Iron Pact from Draw Steel Monsters (page 239) is now a party available in the character tab.

• Added a section in the main Settings dialog for Map-specific settings. Also made it so you can use this to change the default for any map-specific setting app-wide.

• Allow for "critical" results as a "tier 4" on rolls in journals.

• Added a [c]Respite Activity[/c] drawer to the Action Bar which will show when the Game Mode is switched to Respite. Abilities that previously were housed under Maneuver->Respite Activity will now display here.

• The Character Builder now shows the implementation status of feature choices without needing to expand the card.

• The Second Echelon of the Summoner has been implemented and is ready for testing

Journal Styling Sheets

Basic Journal Styling sheets can now be set up using the Journal Styling Sheets. In the journal, check out the Journal Styling Showcase and in the Compendium, you can add your own Journal Stylesheet.

Coming soon:

• Styling stat blocks, encounters, and other embeds.

• Additional options to style directly from sheet creation in the Compendium.
