Hello Role Players! March saw a few big feature releases as well as a bunch of quality of life updates & bugfixes. Here’s a review of everything that was released over the past month:

Text Chat

Chat with your party, private message individual players, and view a log of all public dice rolls. You’ll see a new Chat Button at the bottom right of your Table just above the Assets bar. Here is the list of chat options available:

  • Everything: A public chat for everyone at the table plus all public dice rolls.
  • Everyone: The same public chat from Everything minus the dice rolls.
  • Dice Log: All public dice rolls by anyone at the table. Private dice rolls are never logged.
  • Private Message: You’ll see a list of every person at the table that you can select to start a private conversation.

All text chat histories will remain available so long as the table is active. This means you can leave, come back later, and pick up right where you left off. We also keep track of your last read message so you always know if there is something to catch up on when you return.

Ping

We encourage everyone to set proper safety boundaries ahead of a session so all players feel comfortable. In the event something comes up, we’ve added the ability for you to anonymously ping the entire table in real-time. When you ping the table, a notification appears on everyone’s screen, as well as a message in chat. We hope this will help play groups to pause, review their safety tools of choice, and check in to make sure everyone is okay with the session.

Manage Players

Table Hosts can now manage and remove players from a table. Removing a player from the table will do the following:

  • Immediately boot the player from the table if they are currently connected to it.
  • Remove the table from the player’s list of joined tables.
  • Remove any sheets that player added to the table.
  • Remove any assets, including maps and tokens, that the player added to the table.
  • Hide any messages and dice log entries the player had sent to the table.

NOTE: This does not ban the player from the table. If you want them to re-join you can invite them again. If you want to ensure the player cannot re-join your table, we recommend you add or change the password to the table.

Custom Modifiers

Manually add a reference or buff to your Dice Roll without needing to select something from a sheet. When you open the Dice Tray, you will see two new options: “+ Add Ref” and “+ Add Buff”. Clicking one of these will open a modal where you can adjust the modifier. This modal will also list references or buffs you have selected from your sheets.

Misc Improvements

  • New Safety Tool templates that are automatically added to everyone’s account.
  • Added the ability to toggle open/close the Dice Tray with it affecting your roll.
  • Added an explicit “Clear” button for when you are done with your selected dice and modifiers.
  • Added the ability to minimize another player’s roll.
  • Lots of bugfixes!
