RuneKeep v0.42.3 - Feature cards, a preview that is the card, and campaign settings you walk through.

FIRST, THE UPDATE LINK

  • THE ANDROID DOWNLOAD LINK WORKS AGAIN. v0.42.2 was published by hand and only half its files went up, so the site's Android button pointed at nothing. v0.42.2 has been repaired, and the build script now refuses to publish a release that is missing either file, then reads the release back to prove both are on it.

FEATURE CARDS

  • FUNCTIONAL CARDS ARE FEATURE CARDS, and they sit in the class group where you are already thinking about a class. They are the only card type that carries counters, switches and writing fields, so every other form is shorter and asks you nothing irrelevant.
  • ONE LIST, NOT TWO. "+ Add section" and "+ Add function" both append to the card's body, so an element can sit between two paragraphs. The old above-the-text / below-the-text choice is gone: where you put it is where it goes.
  • THE PREVIEW IS THE CARD. Elements are drawn on the card at the top of the editor, live, exactly as a player will see them in their arsenal. Nothing is previewed in a panel any more.
  • A FEATURE CARD CANNOT BE REPLACED BY A PICTURE, because a picture cannot be pressed.

CONFIGURING AN ELEMENT

  • CONFIGURED FIRST, DECORATED SECOND. What it is, then what it is for, then how it looks. The subtitle field that used to be the first thing you saw is gone.
  • EVERY ELEMENT HAS A NAME, centred above it in small type, with one switch to keep it off the card. The name is how the element appears in the dice tray and in modifier formulas.
  • FULL CARD WIDTH OR HUGGING ITS CONTENT, and small, medium or large. Watch the card above while you choose.
  • A COUNTER'S FLOOR AND CEILING ARE SWITCHES now, like "Counts down only" already was. No more guessing that zero meant "none".

YOUR CARDS ARE VARIABLES

  • A COUNTER OR A NUMBER-VALUED SWITCH IS A VARIABLE. Roll with your Combo Die from the dice tray, or scale a modifier by a number you are keeping on a card. Text fields and word-valued switches are not offered, because they are not numbers.
  • NOTHING CAN WRITE TO ONE. A modifier can read your number; it can never change it.

LEVEL ADVANCEMENTS

  • THE BRAWLER'S COMBO DIE IS IN THE LEVEL-UP LIST, as a real d4 on the ability card that goes up a size when you take it.
  • AN ADVANCEMENT CAN DIFFER PER TIER. The shared setting stays one line; break out only the tiers that are different, and each one starts from the shared setting rather than from blank.

WRITING A CARD

  • ALIGN A SECTION left, centred, right or justified.
  • BOLD AND ITALIC WITHOUT SELECTING ANYTHING. Press once for the word your cursor is in, again for the whole section, again to clear it. The keyboard stays open. Typing starts the cycle over.
  • THE BULLET BUTTON LOOKS LIKE A BULLET LIST and the italic button looks italic.

CONTROLS INSTEAD OF TYPING

  • A DOMAIN CARD'S LEVEL IS A COUNTER bounded to 1 through 10. So are starting Evasion, starting Hit Points, armour score, and every other number the app already knows the range of.
  • A SWITCH'S OPTIONS ARE A LIST you add to, reorder and remove from, one entry at a time.
  • DOMAIN CARDS PICK THEIR PRINTED TYPE: Ability, Spell or Grimoire, each with its own plaque colour. Domain and Domain Card have plaques of their own at last.

CLASS CREATION

  • THE FIRST QUESTION IS WHAT YOU ARE MAKING: a new class, or another page of one that already exists. The second path is how you add your own pages to a published class.
  • STARTING ITEMS ARE PICKED FROM THE CARD BROWSER, the same one the sheet uses. Real cards, your own expansion's gear, and the base game's loot.
  • THE HOPE FEATURE IS A SECTION now, written like anything else on the card.
  • DOMAINS ARE CAPITALISED throughout. Arcana, not arcana.

CAMPAIGN SETTINGS

  • THEY ARE THE CHARACTER CREATOR. Walk the same carousels a player walks and tap a card to turn it off. A card that is off is greyed where it stands, and a whole step can be switched off from the same row that counts your picks.
  • IT SHIPS INSIDE THE EXPANSION, and everyone who enables the pack builds inside those rules.

THE EXPANSION SCREEN

  • YOUR CARDS ARE DRAWN AS CARDS, in a grid paged to what fits your screen. Tap to edit, hold to select several, then share, move or delete the lot.
  • THE HEADER SAYS WHAT ITS BUTTONS DO. "Campaign settings" opens in one tap instead of through two pop-ups.
  • DELETING AN EXPANSION IS HARD ON PURPOSE, exactly like deleting a campaign: hold the row, choose Delete, then confirm twice.
  • THE CREATOR KEEPS THE DM COLOURS AND DROPS THE DM MODE. It no longer turns anything on or asks you about it.

Sideload: enable Install unknown apps, then open the APK.
