[Update #2]: I just deployed a hotfix that either enables Patreon registration (it does for my user, but I never had any issues before, so: Grain of salt) or at least ramps up the logging to pinpoint the issue. Any feedback would be lovely.

2020-10-30 07:27:10 +0000 UTC View PostDear Patreons,
I am currently working on processing the new adventure "Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden". It should currently import completely and I am working on the maps as we speak.
Some notes so far:
After patching the operating system yesterday, I am experiencing memory leaks rending the server unresponsive rather quickly. I haven't found the cause yet, though, so the server needs to be restarted periodically.
Stay lovely,
Sebastian

This post will be updated once more adventures are added.
Below you will find a link to a world currently having the first one-shot adventure prepared: "The King under the Hill". It has a certain horrorish feeling to it, so I wouldn't play it at night, honestly (but hey, I am a sucker...

I was reminded by Patreon that this week it was one year ago that I signed up on Patreon to build a community - it seems to be only a couple of weeks ago, time really is flying. Every day when I go online to check out your messages, emails, github comments.... I am more and more astonished, grateful an...

2020-09-02 09:36:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe poll is now closed and the preference of having a default 5ft grid size as the baseline for effortless play has won by quite a margin. I am quite comfortable with the result, because even while there is a strong contender for the "compromise-solution" and the manual scaling after the import, the result is sp...
2020-07-20 20:23:51 +0000 UTC View PostAs you all know: Adjusting battlemaps for the use in virtual tabletop software is sometimes a real challenge. Paper-drawn and scanned battlemaps rarely play nicely with the strict geometric grid applied by the VTT software, and sometimes it's almost impossible to make it right.
One particular aspect of that process is open for debate...

So I was thinking in-game tutorial. And I beg...

Patreon is currently pushing the updated member information to me, but it is not yet done.
