The world is ready before the first die drops

Set a character to "inactive" when they step out of the spotlight. They stay in the roster with a dimmed card, stop appearing in new recaps, and come back to active whenever you're ready.

Drop a written backstory into a PC's profile and choose how much to keep. The app condenses it to a clean summary while the original stays in a collapsible panel for reference.

When a player's backstory lands on their hero's card, the DM's Prep board gains up to three hooks rooted in that character's past — each checked against the text before it appears.

The creature-type field now accepts anything you type. Space Marine, Void Kraken, T'au Scout — Epic's Echo stores them precisely and groups filter variants together automatically.

Campaign sections and all your campaigns now live in a collapsible sidebar on desktop; on mobile they appear in the hamburger menu. The header height no longer changes as you scroll.

The Locations tab gains three views: a zoomable treemap of how your places connect, a map view where the DM can upload an image and drop location pins, and the existing list. Players see everything in read-only.

Pick they/them, she/her, or any other pronoun set for a character, and their backstory, combat style, and trait fields update to match within seconds — no page reload needed.

Check "Written in-character" when pasting a first-person backstory and the summary keeps the character's voice. An "In their own words" badge marks the result on their card.

A new billing page shows every logged-in hero their current plan, remaining Echoes, and whether the next session will go through — no more digging through settings.

A new 50-Echoes one-time pack joins the four existing options — the cheapest per-Echo rate in the lineup at $79.99.

DMs can now show a hidden wiki entry to specific players at the table, rather than flipping it visible for everyone or keeping it fully hidden.

The weekly catch-up email now includes what your hero looted, notable new faces met, a standout quote, and a chronicle snippet — making the message worth opening.

The app now runs in four new languages, tested against the English source so every label is accurate and feels at home.

The audio chronicle now shows which part it is generating and how far along, so the wait is no longer a black box. Regenerating keeps your voice and style choices from last time — no resetting on every attempt.

Once the chronicle is generated, the session card shows the episode title, a gold waveform, and the runtime — a visual signal that something worth listening to is waiting.

The location atlas groups places by plane — Physical areas, Parallel realms, Vessels — and a ⌘K shortcut leaps to any location by name. Tier and parent edits are now inline, no separate page needed.

The wiki's title banner is gone, giving your content more room. Campaign settings — system, layers, entity assignments — have a dedicated spot inside GM Prep.

Heroes are introduced, acts close on signature moments and a memorable quote, and the prose flows forward — no more reading a list of what happened last session.

Your audio chronicle now starts with a five-second musical intro, the score steps back under the narration, and fades out at the end — the track no longer cuts in or out abruptly.

Characters, locations, and factions mentioned in your story acts are now live links — hover or tap any name to see their entity card without leaving the page.

Descriptive venue and room names in Russian campaigns now appear in sentence case, not Title Case. Room descriptions also stop reading as item lists — both quirks are fixed at generation time.

Scroll or use the + / − controls to zoom 1× to 5×, drag to explore, and hit Fit to snap back to the full map. Pins stay crisp at any zoom and now glow by tier — gold for key locations, slate for others.

The Cartographer toggle now floats in-frame so it stays reachable on mobile. Tap a new spot on the map to reposition a pending pin before placing it. Tier-gate warnings come as a toast instead of a hard block.

Deleting a campaign now lives behind a Danger Zone in GM Prep Settings with a confirm step so it can't happen by accident. Session cards show a "Session N" heading, and the mobile swipe-hint overlay is removed.

The map switcher badges each map with its type — World map, City, Dungeon. A location page with a child map gets an "Open … map" link to jump straight to it.

Every map now asks "What is this a map of?" on upload so it starts as a world or city map from day one. A "Change level" button on existing maps lets you reassign any map to a different place at any time.

The blog no longer ends at the last paragraph — every post and the listing page now carry a footer with links to Pricing and the community Discord.

A new panel appears below the recap: counters for crits, Hope and Fear net, and individual move cards so what happened at the table stays captured while you play.

Ask the Oracle a rules question in a Daggerheart campaign and it draws from the official SRD 1.0 — answer cited, source attributed — right alongside your campaign notes.

Choose between the adventure score and the new Cursed Valley bed — a darker, more ominous tone for intense sessions. Tap the play icon on any option to hear it before your chronicle generates.

Add the app to your phone or tablet's home screen from your browser — it opens in its own window without address bars, so your table's tools are always a tap away.

Four atmospheric tracks — Blackwater Loop, Drift of Salt Maps, and two Fey Majestic moods — are now available in the music picker with 12-second previews to hear before your chronicle generates.

Upload your world lore and the Oracle can now answer questions from it — citing your own canon notes alongside session recaps. GMs also get a pinned World Context block in chat.

A new wizard walks a GM through picking a system and world-branch, then generates a starter wiki with named factions, locations, and hooks — in the language your table plays in.

Starfinder Second Edition is now a full campaign system: select it from the system list, and the Oracle draws on its SRD when players ask rules questions.

Relationship graphs now take over the full display with a floating toolbar, adjustable node physics, live simulation, and a Fit to View button.

A new home screen shows a chapter recap, a Who's-who snapshot, quick-entry shortcuts for the current campaign, and optional new-session notifications.

Your standout rolls from the last session now appear on your home screen. Tap the share button on any moment to generate a shareable card for your group chat.

When the DM shares a hidden entity or scene with you, a Secrets card appears on your player home. Tap any named entry to go straight to that wiki page.

Switch to Orbit on the connections map for a rotating 3D starfield of your campaign's entities and relationships. Click any sphere to open its dossier and fly the camera to it.

Players now see only sections with content — no empty placeholders. The DM sees a one-line stub wherever a section is blank, with a shortcut to add the first entry.

After accepting a generated world, GM Prep shows a read-through campaign brief until your first session. You also get a return email with next steps on day four.

Hide background characters to clear the 3D graph, or open any dossier and tap "Only their connections" to zoom the map down to just that entity and its direct links.

NPCs and factions come with goals and DM-only secrets. Locations nest into a geography visible in the Atlas, and you can now pick party size and starting level during world creation.

Players can claim their character from the campaign home at any time. The DM sees a pending badge in the member list and unlocks their recap and prep with a single tap.

While your world forges, you now see an illuminated timeline, a drawing compass sigil, and drifting embers instead of spinning dots. Works in both light and dark themes.

Edges between entities are now drawn as clean lines instead of thick tubes, keeping the graph readable as you zoom. Hovering pauses auto-rotation so nodes stop drifting while you examine them.

Zoom into the 3D entity map and each node reveals its type icon and a name label — characters, locations, and factions are now distinguishable at a glance without opening their dossier.

Your campaign's running chronicle now has a card right on the player home screen — tap through to the full story before the session starts.

Type a name or pick an entity type and the bubble map highlights your matches — no more opening every cluster to find one character.

Finding a character hidden by a type filter or sitting in a different cluster now selects them and moves the camera there — instead of doing nothing.

New chips let you hide Foe, Ally, Place, or Link edges in one tap — strip the map down to what you need to see for this conversation.

The mobile cluster list now has the same name search and type-filter chips as the desktop map — find any character without expanding every card.

Worlds had been quietly reserved for a handful of GMs behind a private gate. That restriction is removed — build a world, forge places and factions, and wire it to sessions from day one.

The in-progress session card now shows a step-by-step progress tracker with a countdown to when your chronicle will be ready, and a warning if any stage is running slow.

Scenes after a table break — the post-battle wind-down, downtime activities, final character moments — were sometimes missing from the chronicle. Echo now reads more carefully so these beats are captured.

A refreshed chronicle is measured against the one it would replace — if the new version covers less ground, Echo keeps the better recap and retries before giving up.

DMs can now open the world creation form from the mobile menu — no need to swap to a desktop to kick off your next campaign world.

New visitors now say whether they're a Game Master, a player, or just here to look — and land straight on the screen that matches.

The trial badge now reads how many Echoes you have left instead of a session counter that was always empty for Hero plans.

The music picker appears in the initial audio setup panel, so your first generation plays with a track rather than running silent.

A metadata-only save (tags, status, type) now sends only the changed fields. The bug that occasionally wrote an entity description fifteen times over itself is fixed.

Pasting a backstory no longer counts as a session. The GM Prep eyebrow and Story-So-Far narration now skip imports and show your real session history.

The first-session celebration email now reports the right number of characters, places, and items — it was sometimes reading zero despite a successful session.

The Best Value label now sits on the 50-Echoes pack (the cheapest per Echo), and old session-pack bundles that no longer apply to the Hero plan are cleared from the shop.

The "regenerating" spinner sometimes stayed on screen after a long Story Sync finished, requiring a full page refresh to dismiss. The spinner now clears reliably when the session completes.

Pasting a hero's backstory in a non-English campaign now generates hooks in that campaign's language. Previously the app defaulted to English regardless of your table's setting.

If the recording mishears a character's name, that garbled form is now blocked from becoming the character's displayed name. Recaps and chronicles always use the name the DM confirmed.

When a location has both a DM-confirmed parent and a suggested one, the atlas shows your confirmed relationship — not the latest guess. Your world layout stays where you put it.

The Move dialog and location cards no longer display "No valid parent locations." The picker now checks edges correctly, so you can always nest a region, city, or landmark where it belongs.

Russian audio recaps sometimes switched to a different voice mid-recording when the narrator engine needed to warm up. The engine now preloads before the first word, so the voice never shifts mid-recap.

"Make it a root" in the atlas Move dialog now acts immediately — one click detaches the location, updates the breadcrumb, and closes the dialog. A second "Move" click is no longer needed.

A blocked batch upload now shows an amber reason instead of a silent greyed-out button. Hero-tier players now see their real Echo balance in Tokens & Limits, not a zero-on-zero counter.

A vessel's name now sits on its own line above the "currently in …" note — a long parent name can no longer crowd it out of view.

Zooming with a scroll wheel or trackpad no longer slams to maximum in one flick — the step now tracks your scroll distance for a steady, controlled feel.

When linking a pin to a place, a long name now trims with an ellipsis and the match score stays readable alongside it.

After you confirm a scene as private, the chronicle re-evaluates within seconds. If a leak is found, a Regenerate Recap button appears — no manual reload needed.

When a recap is regenerated or edited, the campaign's Story So Far section now updates automatically. No manual refresh needed to see the new narrative.

If recap regeneration fails after you've already received a recap, the session stays visible in your list and its page remains accessible.

The Potential Duplicates panel now compares only the distinctive part of each name, so systematic naming schemes — Seven Pillars, noble houses, Temple-of-X factions — no longer trigger false alerts.

Large Obsidian vault imports that took more than a minute to extract entities were silently failing and losing the extracted wiki entries. They now complete reliably.

When the sidebar is collapsed to its icon rail, each campaign is now identified by its initial letter on a gold tile — and the brand monogram replaces the clipped wordmark.

When a player's perspective recap had been edited or confirmed by the DM, a Story Sync pass was silently replacing it with a freshly generated version. Those edits now survive every resync.

Editing a hook's description or marking it resolved now leaves a permanent record. When the recap is regenerated, those DM changes are preserved rather than silently replaced.

When a multi-file upload stalled and showed an endless spinner, those sessions would never complete. The app now detects and retries stalled uploads automatically so your recordings arrive.

Two race-condition bugs meant parallel confirms could stall a batch forever, or let a failed upload appear confirmed. Both paths are fixed.

Switching from Apprentice to Hero — or any plan upgrade partway through a billing period — was returning a 502. It works now.

Confirming, rejecting, or creating a world entry from the review queue could toast success but leave the row in place. The action now commits before the response returns.

The X button on the "Your session is ready!" hint was silent for players. It now dismisses the banner and remembers the choice.

On narrow screens, the character-type filter bar now anchors to the left, keeping the first tab fully visible without having to scroll — no more clipped PC chip.

Each file in a batch upload now has its own progress bar so you can see exactly which track is uploading and how far along it is — no more watching a single spinner with no idea which recording is moving.

Backstory files and vault imports now appear in a World Context block in Story So Far, not as played sessions. A Prologue label marks campaigns where you've uploaded lore but haven't played your first session yet.

Sessions that took a table break mid-way no longer produce recaps that stop at the intermission — everything that happened in the second half is captured too.

Campaign generation no longer stalls on long generation steps, the Done screen opens the wiki and shows "Copy pack" as expected, and non-English campaigns generate correctly.

The Listen button now loads the audio recap, the quick-entry row fits narrow phones, and the Who's-who card no longer repeats the chapter summary.

The hamburger menu scrolls to reach Sign Out and Notifications, and the audio mini-player no longer covers the last row of content.

Selecting a node on the connections graph now pans it into view instead of hiding it behind the floating dossier; the cluster panel respects the side inset.

Opening account or notification settings no longer wrongly highlights Sessions in the sidebar.

Tapping ⚑ on an entity card or recap entry now sends the correction to the DM for review. A path error meant every submission had silently failed since the feature launched.

Hitting the campaign-creation monthly limit now shows the exact reset date. The world-spark field in campaign setup also has a live example hint instead of just "optional".

If your world, a region, and the MacGuffin happened to share a similar name, the whole campaign would fail. Overlapping geography names now merge gracefully instead of blocking generation.

Sharing a wiki entry with specific players no longer splays the card action bar across two or three rows — the visibility state lives in a single chip that opens a clean player picker.

Your plan's renewal date no longer shifts back a day for players in the Americas or other negative-offset time zones — the correct calendar day now shows in every location.

Hovering over a node in the Orbit map no longer snaps the camera back out to fit-all — your zoom level and position stay until you reset them yourself.

After a deploy, the Orbit view could get stuck on «unavailable offline» with a Retry that never worked. It now detects the stale load and reloads the page automatically.

Collapsing or expanding a cluster in the 2D connections map no longer snaps the camera to a corner — your position stays where you had it.

The world-creation Forging screen now polls for results even when you switch to another tab or app — no more returning to find it frozen mid-cast.

The count beside each connections-map filter chip is now in brackets — so it reads as a tally, not as if there's a character numbered "29".

When re-assigning a quote to a different character, the speaker picker now shows the full cast — not just the person already credited.

When the app is installed on an iPhone, the sticky header was sitting behind the iOS status bar — the logo was cut off and the hamburger menu was untappable. It now sits cleanly below the notch.

After opening to all GMs, the Forging page was turning everyone away on arrival. The closing step also had a dead end. Both are now fixed — the full setup runs start to finish for every table.

Agreeing to table notifications could leave the opt-in frozen, with the banner locked and no way to dismiss it. The fix detects the stall and clears it before your next visit.

A Worlds section appears above your campaigns in the mobile menu. Tap any world to reach its hub, review queue, and linked campaigns — without needing to know the URL.

Rearranging your session log no longer charges story syncs or fakes a rewrite — affected recaps now refresh automatically in the background.
