Drag & Drop characters, now in Beta!

Yes, that is a Drag & Drop dragon you see! Find the monster or NPC you need in the list and simply drag it out onto your map to have a complete character ready to roll. (Get it?)

We’re very excited about this addition to the game screen! It will make on-the-fly encounters and pre-session setup quick and painless. We hope to expand this to cover other game systems as well, so stay tuned for news about new character content.

This feature is currently being diligently tested by our Beta team to ensure everything is in tip-top shape for the full release. If you'd like to join the Astral Beta, you can email us at [email protected] to get started.

Changelog

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

Enhancements

• In addition to the D&D 5E Spells SRD, we’ve added all SRD class skills to the Content section of the Knowledgebase. These Action templates are designed to be copy/pasted directly into your character’s Actions.

Fixed

Thank you to everyone who reported issues this week.

• Legacy layer limits were still being enforced in some cases. We’ve breached that dam -- let forth the surge of layers!
• The color inputs in the grid settings menu appeared empty because the text was white. Whoops, how’d that happen?
• Fixed an issue where moving from a game page that has a description to a game page that doesn’t would copy the description to that game.
