Changelog

What shipped and when. The DM Screen updates in the open.

2026-08-31

The import portal recognises a Pathbuilder 2e export and a Foundry VTT document by name, and says which one it found instead of calling every file "JSON".
A Pathfinder character imported from Pathbuilder is filed as Pathfinder. It used to be filed as D&D 5e, because both systems name the same six abilities, and a stated system meant the picker never opened to let you correct it.
A character exported from Foundry keeps the game system Foundry recorded for it, rather than arriving with no usable system at all.
Room keys are gone from the product. They were an older way of charging for access to a campaign, they had been switched off for a long time, and now the code is out. Players never pay, and no tool sits behind the paywall.

Dice in Dice Merge carry off a bounce again. The brake that stops a landed die rolling away was running in mid-air too, so a die came straight back down instead of travelling.
The corner dice take half as much energy from a flick, so a quick swipe sends them across the screen instead of off it. The range from a nudge to a hard throw is unchanged.
The browser tab shows a DM lettermark.

A full accessibility pass across the app: text contrast raised to meet WCAG 2.1 AA, visible focus rings on every control, larger tap targets, labels on inputs that had none, and a skip link on both the DM and player shells.
Invite links work again for anyone who had visited the marketing site first. Every one of them was dead.
Safe Mode reaches every 3D surface, and Settings is its own place rather than a room inside Dice Settings.
Players get a death save clock they can see.
A settled die in Dice Merge stops turning instead of drifting for seconds after it lands.

The white screen that could swallow the dice is fixed. It came from a media query that flipped the layout underneath them.
The fidget die no longer holds its own graphics context while a game is open, which is what was closing the tab on some phones.
The date on the Terms page says when the Terms were actually last changed.

The free tier becomes one active campaign in each game system, so a free account can run four tables at once: D&D 5e 2014, D&D 5e 2024, Pathfinder 2e, and Draw Steel. Archiving a campaign frees that system up again.
The home system is retired. A free account no longer picks one system to live in, and no system is walled off from it, so the home-system setting and its badges are gone.
Paid plans stay $5 a month or $40 a year, and what they buy is now one thing: unlimited campaigns, in every system, all running at once.

Yearly drops from $50 to $40. With Monthly at $5, the year now saves $20.
The site says three systems everywhere, matching what has actually shipped: D&D 5e (2014 and 2024), Pathfinder 2e, and Draw Steel. Marketing copy that counted systems still in preview is gone.

Monthly drops from $10 to $5, and Lifetime is retired from sale. Existing Lifetime holders keep full access forever.
HP steppers on the sheet hold-to-accelerate, with a write path that keeps up.
Cast any spell from the sheet and be told what the slot did.

The redesigned character sheet is now the D&D default: one pencil unlocks the whole sheet, the stat card is consolidated, and ability rolls sit on the at-a-glance card.
Homebrew workshop grows builders for items, spells, conditions, languages, diseases, traps, and house rules.
Self-service account deletion, with a 14-day grace period before anything is destroyed.
The reference library precaches on install, so the encyclopedia reads offline.

Pathfinder 2e battle tracker runs on its own rules: three actions per turn, Perception initiative, and the dying counter.
The Monster Core bestiary, every Player Core cantrip and low-rank spell, weapons, armor, conditions, hazards, consumables, rituals, and afflictions land in the PF2e reference library.
Pathfinder characters level up on Pathfinder tables, with class feats, ancestry feats, and archetypes from Player Core and Player Core 2.
D&D builder: class features and traits carry their full rules text instead of a truncated preview.

Security hardening: response headers and cookie flags tightened, anonymous-executable RPCs locked down, per-user rate limits enforced at the edge, and an XSS audit across every injection surface.
A crash now gets a card, a button, and a server-side report instead of a blank screen.
Deploys stop reloading the page out from under a live session; a refresh becomes an offer, never a yank.
Dice material picker ships Ruby, Sapphire, Copper, and Cathedral Copper.

Dice Games: Dice Merge and Farkle, two solo games built on the physics dice, playable from the Dice tab.
Player Mode foundation: a player gets a stable identity at the table and a real dashboard.

A public reference library opens at /reference: D&D 2024 magic items and spells and the Draw Steel bestiary, readable with no account.
The encyclopedia gets an inline accordion, grouped search results, and a floating search flyout.
The free tier becomes one campaign in your home system, and guest mode can view any system without signing out.
Honest comparison pages for D&D Beyond, Roll20, Foundry, Fantasy Grounds, and Owlbear Rodeo.

The DM Screen speaks nine languages: English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean, with first-visit language auto-detect.
TV mode promotes the map and chime controls to persistent chrome.
Seven John Bauer public-domain plates illustrate iconic SRD creatures in the bestiary.

SRD compliance pass: unlicensed book content removed from the D&D datasets. Everything that remains is properly licensed.
The sync layer self-heals: a torn bundle recovers on its own, and TV realtime is fixed.
Signing up from guest mode preserves your guest work instead of wiping it.

Draw Steel goes live: character builder, hero sheet, Power Roll dice, the full monster bestiary, and Director tools with the Malice pool, Victories, and an encounter budget.
Paid tiers go on sale, and multiplayer becomes free and unlimited on every tier, with the weekly session gate removed.
Dynamic lighting on the battle map: walls, line of sight, two-tier fog of war, synced live.
Weather painting on map cells: rain, snow, and embers.
Dice tray v2: real die masses, felt bounce, flick a settled die to re-roll it, and per-system dice skins.
Roll20 campaign import, first cut.

Closed beta ends: public signups open.
New create-a-campaign flow: pick a system, name it, play. Each campaign wears its game system on the masthead.
Public campaign pages ship.

World map mode: stamp settlements, mountains, forests, lakes, oceans, and roads on a separate overland map.
Paint tools v1 + v2: paint walls (3 colors) and difficult terrain on the battle map with a single brush.
Battle Tracker and Character Sheet visual audit: 19 findings closed across engraved glyphs, motion tokens, focus rings, reduced-motion gates, primary CTAs.
Refresh flash on browser reload eliminated: the dashboard now settles in one commit instead of flashing onboarding states.
Modal scrim opacity tightened so button silhouettes no longer bleed through confirmation dialogs.
Masthead is static on desktop, scroll-collapse on mobile.
