HEXROLL 2E - beta build #6 - Wilderness Battlemaps, Settlements in VTT, and a new theme!
🕑 Added 2024-02-25 21:21:11 +0000 UTCGreetings Brave Adventurers,
Beta update #6 is now live with exciting features for everyone, and some unique features for Brave Adventurer subscribers.
Firstly, everyone now gets a battlemap in every hex. Yes, even cities, towns and villages can now be shared over VTT and have tokens placed and used with their maps. Empty wilderness hexes will also feature a 5' grid.
You can now also change the color of your tokens by double-clicking them. This feature will be extended soon to open up a window with more token controls.
Next is the Search hotkey. You can press the Backquote key to quick access the search field, and then use the arrow keys to navigate the results list. In my keyboard layout, the Backquote key is just above the Tab key.
Brave Adventurer subscribers now get an amazing new map theme created by Cille Rosenørn Abildhauge aka Penzilla. You can toggle between the default theme and the new theme using the brush button in the toggles menu on the map. This is one in a set of three, with two more themes hopefully coming soon.
Brave Adventurer subscribers now also get to have their VTT state saved and restored automatically. Any revealed hex or placed token will stay this way between sessions.
Last in today's list is the new 8 hotkey to roll a 1d7 for those of you who play DCC.
Here's today's change log:
New Features

That's it for now - busy on-call shift at work so keeping things short.
Enjoy the crawl!
