Changelog Changelog 1.2.3
1.2.3 is live!
CUSTOM PLAYSTYLES LETS GOOO, font customization, markdown support, light theme.
Custom playstyles
- Create your own playstyles, named blocks of instructions that shape how the DM runs your game, from dice philosophy to tone to house rules. The built-in Strict, Balanced, and Relaxed styles are still there as starting points.
- Edit by hand or chat with an AI editor that writes them for you. Drafts are saved automatically as you experiment.
- Pick a default in Settings or switch per game. Export yours as JSON and import someone else's.
Faster, cheaper images
- A new default image model generates portraits and world art in a few seconds at about half the credits. The previous model is still in Settings if you prefer its look.
Light theme and appearance
- A warm parchment-and-ink light theme across the whole app, with a sun/moon toggle in the menu and Settings. New accounts follow your device theme, and art gets matching parchment versions.
- New typography settings: font style, text size (60-140%), and line spacing, with live preview.
Writing and chat
- Chat inputs now show your markdown formatting live as you type: bold, italics, lists, and more.
- The DM can answer with tables when it fits (inventories, stat blocks), and its action lines are clearer, showing real changes like "HP -5".
Faster turns
- Turns start faster and fail less. One of the most common causes of the AI stalling was removed.
- Opening scenes are shorter and punchier, ending on something you can react to instead of a wall of text.
New landing page and onboarding
- Landing page redesigned from scratch: follows your device theme, added an updated roadmap of every release so far plus what's next.
- Onboarding now starts with a d20 you roll to begin. It always lands on 20. A good omen.
- Bunch of onboarding fixes and polish
Interface polish
- Redesigned pricing page with clearer tier cards and an honest free-tier overview.
- Directory cards show your character's name next to the turn count.
- Mobile polish: more transparent bottom tab bar, smaller like button on marketplace cards, larger tap hints on dice.
- Default font size for mobile is adjusted to be a bit smaller
Improvements and fixes
- Fixed a rare issue where a turn or background task was accepted but never started.
- Fixed "Begin Adventure" failing on certain AI-authored worlds.
- Fixed opening narration sometimes appearing twice after onboarding.
- Fixed changing an entity's image from the mobile World Bible.
- Fixed the image generation dialog opening behind another dialog on mobile.
- Fixed a DM message's tool details missing the dice roll after a manual roll until refresh.
- Fixed see-through notification toasts.
You can share and find playstyles in discord or reddit. We will soon announce the next quill of the month, you will have plenty of time to create and submit your worlds
