The Oak Log

September 15th, 2026

Character creation

• Roguish feats: on a playbook that picks a single extra feat, clicking a different feat now swaps it in straight away instead of asking you to untick the first one.
• Background: every question on the background step is now optional, so you can fill in as much or as little as you like and come back to the rest later. Anything left blank is shown as a dash on the sheet.

September 11th, 2026

• Five playbooks had a stat that did not match the book: the Arbiter, Ronin and Hunter start at -1 Luck, and the Scoundrel and Raider start at -1 Cunning. Character creation now shows the printed numbers.
• Existing characters of those playbooks have been adjusted by the same amount automatically. Your creation bonus and any stat advancements you have taken are kept, so only the wrong base value changed.

September 7th, 2026

• Added a duck and a dog to the portrait picker. Open your character sheet and click your portrait to switch.

Behind the scenes

• These release notes are no longer written into the page by hand. They live in the project files now, which means a note ships alongside the change it describes, and there is a full release history at the bottom of this panel rather than only the most recent few.

Ruins & Expeditions

• The six Ruins & Expeditions playbooks now have their suggestions. The Dealer, Gourmand, Hunter, Nomad, Orphan and Scourge were the only playbooks with nothing marked as suggested during character creation. They now show their printed species, natures, drives, connections, demeanor, looks and trinkets, the same as every other playbook.
• Their playbook moves are not yet marked up, so those six still ask you to choose three moves with none granted automatically. Check your playbook for what your character actually starts with.

Joining a campaign

• You can make a character straight from an invite. Before, if you had no spare vagabond, the invite told you to go and make one first and then you had to find the invite again. There is now a button that takes you into character creation with the campaign already attached.
• Your GM's rules now apply while you build. Strict playbook options, the species move setting and any factions your GM has switched off all take effect from the first step. Previously none of them could, because a character had no campaign until after it was finished.
• GMs can set which books the campaign uses. Characters made for the campaign start with those ticked, and players can still change their own.
• While building for a campaign, a note at the top of each step names the campaign and lists what is switched on, so you can see why your options look the way they do. There is a link to build outside the campaign instead.

August 29th, 2026

• Fixed the error when saving a longer background. Writing more than about a sentence into any of the background or details boxes made the save fail with a server error. Those fields were capped at 100 characters, which one ordinary sentence already goes past. The cap is gone, so write as much as you like.
• The background questions are proper text boxes now. "Where do you call home?", "Why are you a vagabond?" and "Whom have you left behind?" give you room to write, and any line breaks you use are kept when your answers appear on your character sheet.
• Demeanor, Looks and Trinket stay on one line so they can keep offering the suggestions printed on your playbook, but they take as much text as you want to give them.
• The same crash could happen when naming a homebrew item, a connection or a campaign. Those are fixed too. Very long names are shortened to fit rather than failing.
• If a background you wrote was cut short before, open your character and fill it back in.
