As the year comes to a close, it’s time to wrap this project up for good. Based on your feedback, we’ve upgraded three of the DCC RPG Roll20 modules with the existing VTT maps and tokens. DCC #66.5 Doom of the Savage Kings, DCC #67 Sailors of the Starless Sea, and DCC #68 People of the Pit are all updated on the Roll20 Marketplace and DriveThruRPG. Finally, the last bug fixes and requested feature updates submitted to Metamorphic were made and are now live. This concludes the Roll20 for DCC crowdfunding project.
The link to submit bugs and suggestions for feature improvements to Metamorphic remains live should you discover anything that was overlooked during the bug-stomping and upgrading period. That link is: https://support.metamorphic-digital.com/
In closing, we’d like to thank you once more for your support and we’re already planning on how to provide further Roll20 support for the DCC RPG line in the future. We look forward to a continued relationship with Metamorphic in that capacity.
We hope you've been enjoying playing with Roll20 for DCC and both Goodman Games and the folks at Metamorphic appreciate your feedback and bug reports. The Metamorphic team has been working hard to implement them and they have provided me with patch notes of everything that's been addressed and what's going to be fixed in the next update before the end of the month. You all helped make these corrections possible, so thank you very much.
Completed
Core Rule Book + Sheet
- Critical + Fumble buttons added to Weapon section. Luck modifier is automatically added to both and the Fumble button will take armor into account.
- Rollable Tables tab added to Sheet. Tables include all options by default, but die size can be decreased if you need to roll a smaller die.
- Hit Die button added to sheet to generate HP when leveling.
- Making a Luck roll now displays whether or not you succeed in a Luck Check by default.
- Deed Die for Warrior + Dwarf has been updated. The deed die must be rolled at the start of every round of combat manually - once initially rolled, that bonus will be automatically added to attack and damage rolls. Rolling the deed die again updates the bonus to the new value.
- Charactermancer Button added so you can reopen it if accidentally closed or you want to reroll your stats on the same character.
Next Patch To Do List - ETA 10/31 or sooner
- Add a "Current Stats" field when stats are temporarily reduced.
- Add a "roll health" button for NPCs to automate health based on Hit Dice instead of manually rolling.
- Add "Notes" field to all weapons, armor, and equipment.
Sailors of the Starless Sea
- Add handouts for all unique items found in the module
The next patch should correct any outstanding issues that have been reported, but if you find anything else that needs attention, please continue to report them to Metamorphic via this link: https://support.metamorphic-digital.com/
If you're encountering any lingering issues with fulfillment (codes not working, no codes delivered, etc.), please contact Goodman Games at [email protected] and our excellent Customer Service team will be happy to get things sorted.
The various Roll20 for DCC products will go on sale next week and with that we'll be wrapping up this Backerkit project. I'd like to once again thank you for your support which made this all possible. We're looking forward to working with Metamorphic on future projects and we'll announce what those are when the time is right.
In the meantime, here's a couple of other crowdfunding projects we'd like to draw your attention to:
It’s been two weeks since we distributed products keys to everyone who completed their Backerkit surveys. We hope you’ve all had the opportunity to activate your rewards and play around with things on Roll20.
We’ve been busy on the backend since then working with Metamorphic and Roll20 to fix the inevitable bugs that always avoid getting squished during beta testing and taking your comments into consideration on how to improve the user experience. Please do continue to report any bugs you find or improvement suggestions to Metamorphic at https://support.metamorphic-digital.com/
If you haven’t looked at DCC for Roll20 in the last week, you’ve undoubtedly missed all the fixes that have been implemented since launch. Please consider taking a fresh look at the DCC Compendium to see what’s changed in the last week. You’ll be delighted at the improvements we've made to the user experience.
Metamorphic is currently putting the finishing touches on a new update which then goes to Roll20 for implementation. This typically takes a few days for Roll20 to put into place, so you should see even more final tweaks and improvements in the week ahead. By the next update, we should have the entire change log of fixes in place and can show all the improvements implemented since launch day. Thank you all for your help in making this the best Roll20 product we can for DCC RPG fans!
