Organization Chart Released!

Hello All!

I have made some big enhancements on the site and I wanted to do a quick update on what these awesome changes are! I’ve worked hard on these changes and hope that you enjoy using them as much as I did making them. It’s been typical in the past to include all of the updates for free on the site, but you will notice a number of these changes are geared towards the premium tiers. It costs money to keep the site running and I’m hoping that by providing some of these features on a premium tier that it provides more value to those that would like to help support the site. The core functionality is still free to use, these addons are more enhancements to the overall experience. See below for some of these awesome changes!

Organization Chart

I have added an organizational chart tool to the premium tier of the site.  This tool will allow the creation of organizational charts, including family trees, organization hierarchies and much more. I built in the capability to add as many Org Charts to a campaign item as you desire, and it will add it to a new tab! This tool has the ability to drag nodes onto a chart and then connect them together. The lines are generated dynamically based on placement, in a hope to make it easier to create these diagrams. There are a few additional features with this that you’ll just have to see for yourself!

Hotspot Tool Updates

You now have the ability to add as many hotspot images to a campaign item as you want. Previously you could only add one hotspot image per item, this change will allow you to add as many as you want. This will give the ability, for example, to create a dungeon with multiple levels in the same campaign item. These will be added in a new tab for the campaign item. The tool now includes the ability to have a modal trigger when a pin is clicked, and includes the ability to add whatever text you desire. I added some custom pins that are available to premium tier patrons. There were also some bug fixes, as this tool was a little buggy, and hopefully these updates will make it function better.

Premium GM Screen Widgets

I have added a couple premium GM screen widgets that are available for premium tier members. I intend to add additional widgets in the future, but currently the available widgets are:

• Markdown
• Initiative Tracker
• Potion Dice Roller
• Fantasy Name Generator
• Random Bounty Board
• Random Inn Name Generator
• Room Description Generator
• Random NPC Generator (Premium)
• Random Inn Generator (Premium)

Logo Updates

For those that have been around a while you will notice a new logo! For those that are new, we have a new logo! I had originally made the logo myself, and it worked well on the web, but not so much on print. The hope is in the future we can do some merch and other things with the logo, and this new design will look much better in other forms.

Image Picker Updates

The image picker has been updated to include a few extra tabs with provided resources that can be added to your campaign.  This will hopefully make it easier for people to add some of our other images, including our premium tokens to your campaigns!

Saving Connection Node Positions

This is an update that has been a long time coming.  It’s been requested a few times to be able to save node positions on the connections tab. So with this update you now have the ability to save those positions! The connections tab will automatically generate placement for nodes in the network diagram, however, after saving node placements these will need to be manually moved.  This is something I hope to fix in the future, but in the meantime you have the ability to save these placements.

Style Updates

There are some minor visual enhancements throughout the site that are there merely to make the site look better. Many of these you may not notice, but I like to be transparent about the updates that I have made!

Generator Automation

I added a tool on the admin side of the site that should allow me to more easily create generators that are available in the tools section. If you have any ideas on particular generators you would like to see on the site let me know! I now have the capability to add these generators more quickly and easily.

This is the majority of what was updated. I may have slipped an update in there and forgot what it was, but for the most this list should detail the updates that were made. Thanks for using the site and…

Happy Questing!!
