April 2024 Development Update (Patreon)

Hello Adventurers!

This month, Adventure Muncher has been significantly revised. The latest version, 2.0.x, supports only Foundry v11 and D&D 5e v3.x.x.

This has brought a number of improvements around importing adventure journals into a reduced number with better structure, as well as providing better integration with the 5e tooltips/rule lookups. In particular, the PHB, DMG and XGTE should now be placed into a much-improved journal format if you import these into a compendium in your world for reference.

There was also a huge pass on a number of automation effects for the new D&D version, and I started looking at what might have broken for Foundry v12 support (coming out later this year).

On the Adventure front, DDB released Descent into the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth which can be claimed for free https://www.dndbeyond.com/claim/source/descent-into-tsojcanth, it is an abridged version of one of the adventures in the upcoming Quests from the Infinite Staircase book.

DDB Importer now supports the new Summoning system for Tasha's summoning variants in the D&D 5e v3.1 system.

Thanks for your continued support
