GenCon Needs YOU to run games on Astral.

Planning on GMing for Gen Con Online? Let us help you out! We're continuing to take applications for GenCon sponsorship. If you haven’t had a chance to apply, please do so as early as possible so we can make the necessary arrangements for you.

GMs running games for GenCon using Astral can apply for sponsorship benefits, including a month of Pro on us, special badges, and more!

Through work with our partners, Modiphius has offered to include additional sponsorship benefits. Those running Modiphius title games for GenCon will receive $30 store credit, redeemable at the Modiphius store for running titles published by Modiphius.

Changelog

We continue to address reported issues and requests. As always, we are very interested in your feedback.

Enhancements

• Improved the Infinity RPG & Adversary templates to automate talent counts (for Ballistics, Close Combat, Hacking, etc.) that rely on the number of talents in each field. Setting ranks added to the sheet to > 1 will trigger the calculations.
  • Thanks to LaMorte for continuously maintaining and updating their submissions!
• Discord community members have all been assigned the Astralnauts role. New members will need to read & react to the rules post in order to gain access to the channels. If you have any issues getting the role assigned or if there are problems with the permissions on any channels, please report them in the help channel on Discord, or to [email protected] if you are unable to send messages via Discord.

Fixed

Thank you to everyone who reported issues this week.

• Template sheet fixes
  • Pathfinder (1E) Template Character
    • BAB now correctly calculates
    • DexMod now correctly referenced in stats, such as Armor Class
  • Advanced Pathfinder RPG (1E) Template Character
    • Heal skill now correctly calculates based on rank
  • These fixes are applied to newly created characters from templates. To fix existing characters, open the offending stats and copy the updated formulae from a new character into your existing sheets.
• Grid settings now properly sync in the Power Bar as well as Map Editor grid settings
• The End Turn prompt properly displays for player-owned characters even if they are not currently active
• The screen position no longer resets when switching between owned characters on the same map, or when selecting characters to move.
• The screen zoom level no longer changes when centering on a character.
• A player ending their turn no longer changes other players character selections.

In Progress

We continue to work diligently on your requests and feedback; please let us know your thoughts on Discord or the forums.

The 5e SRD Spells Project

A reminder to anyone interested in seeing the 5E SRD spells translated to Astral actions: We’ve got a project going behind-the-scenes, and we need your help! We have big plans for ease-of-use and portability, but we need the assistance of contributors like yourself to make this a reality!

Please take the time to read the “Welcome” and “How to Contribute” tabs as they contain important information about making suggestions and edits. You can find the project here:

Astral 5e SRD Spells

We’ve had a lot of feedback asking for this project to be expanded to other systems. We will expand to those projects upon completion of the 5E SRD spells project. Stay tuned for more news!

📣 We're Listening

We're continuing to look at the forums for feature requests, support tickets, and Discord to hear what you all have to say. Please don't hesitate to reach out and voice your feedback. Our table always has an open seat, let us know what you think.

That's all for now!

Thanks for reading and for being a dedicated Astralnaut! We look forward to bringing you more updates from the Astral Plane.
