Development Update August 2024

Hello Adventurers!

This month was quite eventful for me - as previously mentioned, my wife gave birth early (both are doing well and are now back home); just as we were getting over that, my middle daughter spent some time in hospital with a chest infection and breathing difficulties. These, along with the summer holidays and various family commitments, my modules have had limited updates.

Quests from the Infinite Staircase is partially complete. Hopefully, the remaining parts will be available before the end of the weekend.

I have also started working on some changes that will be required for a big data change in the upcoming v3.4 D&D system.

Now, with the big 2024 rules update, from all the previews and spoilers now circulating, it's clear that a fair number of changes are coming down the pipeline to spells and features. Please bear with us during the release period. I suspect there will be a period of days where things don't quite parse right, and some spells and features may be broken. If you rely on automation, that's going to be sparse for a while. My priority will be getting the character importer up and working correctly.

Thank you for your support,
Jack/MrPrimate
