[p]Greetings, Mages! 👋

Fablecraft v0.25 introduces our most ambitious adventure yet – but that’s not all. This update also includes brand new Fog of War tech, battlemap state saving, granting advantage & disadvantage on rolls, and so much more!

[/p][h2]🧙‍♂️ Heist Society is here![/h2][p]Do you have flexible morals, roguish skills, and devilish charm? Then do we have a job for you! Pull off the perfect robbery in Heist Society. This isn’t your typical point A to B adventure – once Mages are inside Cloudhaven Keep, they can go where you want, exploring over 30+ rooms across 3 XXL battlemaps![/p][p]In addition to the 3 huge battlemaps, Heist Society includes: 1 additional standard battlemap, 7 animated environments, 2 NPCs, 3 monsters, 2 music tracks, 24 inventory items, and our trusty GM Guide. It’s time for crime![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]🌫️ NEW: Fog of War & Battlemap prep![/h2][p]Available now for any map in the game (including homebrew!). Edits made to maps, including the addition of monster or NPC tokens, will also save across scenes and sessions.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]
[/p][p][/p][h2]✨ Even more magical features[/h2]

• [p]🎲 Roll with advantage: GMs can now grant advantage or disadvantage on roll requests![/p]

  [/p]

[p][/p][h2]Change Log[/h2][h3]✨ New Features[/h3]

• [p]Maps will now save their states, so GMs can add monsters and/or fog ahead of a Session! Maps in the GM Guide act separately from maps in the side tray, so be sure to open a pre-staged map from the correct place.[/p]
• [p]GMs will navigate Sessions 2-4 of Heist Society using a brand new mini map in the GM Guide! Used in place of the contents, GMs click on different parts of the map to auto-jump to the right GMG content.[/p]

• [p]GMs and players can now do more on the battlemap – provided you’re not in active combat! Trade and equip inventory items, cast non-combat spells, and equip combat abilities. GMs will still need to level players up from the story scene, though. [/p]
• [p]GMs can now grant advantage or disadvantage on roll requests![/p]
• [p]GMs can instantly reload the previous scene via the menu in the bottom right-hand corner. It’s super handy for switching quickly between scenes or returning to an environment after displaying a full-screen inventory item.[/p]

  [/p]

[h3]🙃 Known Issues[/h3]

• [p]The Golden Slab in the Arena sometimes teleports strangely. Stubborn creature.[/p]
• [p]Peer disconnect or video chat connection labels may or may not persist. It may appear that your connection is poor when it is not, or is good while it is being throttled in the background.

• [p]iPads with cameras on may experience Fablechat delays and syncs, along with game performance issues. [/p]
