1.27.1

This release makes loading a campaign faster. The decoder builds each map tile once, checks image references once per palette entry instead of once per tile, and skips the broken-link walk for maps whose link list is complete. Cell variants are picked with whole-number math. A warm load of the benchmark save (the example campaign plus 50 large regions and 300 creatures, about 50,000 tiles) takes about 14 ms, against 22 ms in 1.27.0. The deserialize budget of the commit benchmark is back at 25 ms.

The save format and the loaded campaign are the same as in 1.27.0. Load time still grows with the number of tiles, because each cell gets its own frozen tile record. Undo and Redo reload the page, so each step pays the full load.

1.27.0

1.26.0

Combat

• The combat screen is a fixed frame with compact cards, and a phone gets a turn bar.
• Previous turn, initiative edits, Delay, a condition bar, and a fight bar above the map.

Characters

• The GM reference has one page per mode. New how-to guides cover a class mechanic and other common extensions.

1.25.2

This release draws the map terrain layer on a CPU-backed canvas, because its context asks for willReadFrequently. Firefox on Android draws a default canvas on the GPU. There, a strip of about 250 tile draws costs 48 ms on a Pixel against 2 ms on the CPU canvas, and each strip repaint stalls a pan for 100 to 150 ms. On a Pixel 10a in Firefox 156, a pan of a generated world has no frame over 34 ms after the tile rasters warm up.

About 9 percent of frames still miss one vsync. The copy of the CPU layer onto the map canvas costs about 2 ms on every pan frame, and the first two seconds after a new world still drop frames while the tile rasters fill.

1.25.1

Map panning costs less script per frame, which matters most in Firefox for Android. The point-of-interest glow draws from a cached sprite, so Firefox no longer blurs a canvas shadow on every frame, and the live map caches its terrain in an offscreen layer, so a pan copies pixels and draws only the strip that comes into view. In desktop Firefox a pan frame drops from about 4 ms of render script to about 2.3 ms. The cost of compositing the canvas on a phone is not measured.

1.25.0

Play mode is a fixed screen with a left dock for the party and the dice tray, a Sheet tab, a full-page character sheet with equipment slots, item tiles, spell cards and feature cards, and a phone layout with a bottom view bar and a header menu. The GM sees the map under a see-through fog, the Play map fits the revealed tiles, the mini-map floats over the map, Nearby encounters shows one line per group of foes, and confirm dialogs name their action and object. In combat, XP is asked for before the fight ends, the target and HP amount reset on each turn, spent action buttons are marked, the dice tray sits under the log, and a Map tab shows the fight area.

Build mode paints only from the Paint tab and names the active tool on the map, the World tree is one tab stop with arrow keys, Generate a world builds a whole world and starts the party beside a town, and empty maps show a card with Paint tiles and Generate map. Library mode has class, level, school and CR filters and visible field labels, and the creature form is grouped into sections with a Pick on map button and placement warnings. The documentation screenshots show the new layouts. Several files are over the 500-line guideline and are not split in this release.

1.24.0

In combat, a dying character keeps its turn and rolls death saves, the combat HP box acts on the chosen target, attack rolls no longer write an AC into the dice tray DC field, log lines name numbered foes, and a fled foe no longer turns into a neutral NPC. Life Domain heals add Disciple of Life, clerics get Turn Undead and Preserve Life, healing items heal from dice stored on the item, the bonus action spell rule applies on the caster's own turn, nearby foes can join a fight, and creatures can have legendary actions and legendary resistance. On the map, a lit room reveals in full, castle fog marks the edge of explored floor, the view pans only as far as it needs to, a walk announces the watches it takes and asks before it runs into Night, a long rest lasts eight hours, and a map can be locked behind a key item. Quests can unlock other quests and pay gold and XP, an NPC can travel with the party, the GM gets a cue on a tile with a hidden handout, and a Player tab lists every revealed handout.

The example campaign has SRD-style stat blocks, larger fights, notes and handouts for every step the GM had to improvise, a road from Briarwick Vale to Kelmoor, a locked barrow far from Thornhold that needs the warding key, a personal quest for Mirelle, and quest rewards that bring the party close to level 5 before the barrow. Legendary actions cover attacks only, and a save forced by a weapon hit does not offer legendary resistance.

1.23.1

This release loads the tile images of the Build palette only when Build mode shows the palette, and each closed section loads its own images when it opens. A blank campaign now starts with about 3,700 DOM nodes instead of about 41,000, and the browser bench boot takes about 230 ms instead of 470 ms. The bench fight scenario now waits for the Next turn button and advances all twenty turns.

The first switch to Build mode fetches the Terrain images at that moment, so the swatches can appear a moment after the palette does on a slow connection.

1.23.0

Combat setup has a Stealth contest for both sides, a Surprised box, and a Parley button, and Start combat rolls any initiative that is not rolled yet. The combat screen has standard action buttons, Cunning Action, Second Wind, Action Surge, and pressable budget pips. Creatures can have Multiattack, Pack Tactics, on-hit weapon saves, Surprise Attack dice, and a Redirect Attack reaction. Characters get the Fighting Style pick, class feature pools that refill by rest kind, custom resource pools with Sorcerous Restoration, and Set expertise. The GM can award fight XP while foes still stand, and Award Party XP can split a total.

The party walks along a real path that clears fog and spends time, and the clock has minutes inside a watch with a travel time table. A short rest takes one hour, and fog sight depends on the map and the hour. Each world region map follows the terrain of its block on the world map, an edge exit arrow shows only when the party is near that edge, and the foes on and around the party's tile form one encounter. Taverns, inns, shops, and temples have their own floor plans, and burned and ruined markers mark wrecked buildings. Log entries show the in-game day, watch, and round, Undo and Redo name what they changed, and the header has a Welcome button.

1.22.1

This release offers the defender's damage reaction after a spell attack hit or a save spell's damage, one target at a time, with the Shield question first. Thirsting Blade grants its second swing only with the pact weapon, and leaving the Pact of the Tome removes the Book of Shadows cantrips and the Book of Ancient Secrets rituals. The Library spell form gains controls for an extra chip that an attack spell's hit puts on chosen creature types, such as the Chill Touch chip on undead.

The combat screen still counts the banked Thirsting Blade swing after a pact weapon attack, and a saved warlock without the Tome keeps a stale book until the next pact boon or invocation change. A multi-ray spell asks for the damage reaction once per target, not once per ray. A save spell cannot put a typed extra chip on its target.
