We’ve got a lot of exciting news to share with you this week, so let’s get right to it.
Astral is expanding our talented team to help build the future of virtual tabletop roleplaying. Are you ready to join our party? We’re currently searching for a marketing specialist and software engineer.
Working in cooperation with DriveThruRPG and Paizo, we’ve made the latest adventure, Sundered Waves, available for purchase as an Astral module.
This adventure comes complete with maps, characters, and interactive puzzles, complete with automation. You can purchase this module for your Astral account on DrivethruRPG.
Thanks to community member LaMorte for consistently showing us how adventures run better on Astral!
This is the JB2A free offering, packaged for your convenience for use on Astral. Contained in this pack are 150 high-quality animations for different spells and effects to enhance your game.
These assets are seriously amazing, and we can’t thank Jules and Ben enough for allowing us to provide this convenient access to these animations to the community.
As stated, this collection is free for all community members. Check them out in the JB2A Sample Animated Pack in game and in the editor.
If you appreciate these contributions and would like to support Jules and Ben, please check out their Patreon and consider becoming a patron.

This new approach to layers allows for unique visual effects to be applied in-game, such as simulating exploration within buildings:
We’re hard at work refining this feature and nailing down the last few issues. We could use your help in the meantime, so please consider joining our beta team!
