Assets and Avatars - October Newsletter

October 2024 Newsletter - Avatar Generator comes to Mobile apps

Hello Questers!

The pyramid looms above you, the scraping of the large stone door as it slides away fills your ears and the stench of the unknown assaults your sense of smell. Your companion passes out as the last of her magical energy leaves her body. What do you do?

It’s scary season this month, but what isn’t scary though, is the improvements to mobile that keep on coming and the content additions that won’t stop!

Avatar Generator on Mobile

Updates for the Mobile app keeps on coming, with Remove Player options and setting campaign data, just like the web version.

We’ve also hit a big milestone for mobile support this month too, by adding the Avatar Generator to the app for Pro Subscribers! No more *only on web for our paid subscribers.

You can now have the power of the Avatar Generator in your pocket! If you haven’t tried yet, you can find our free VTT app for iOS and Android by searching Quest Portal.

Roadmap - Fog of War and Modifiers

As usual, no arbitrary ETAs, only progress and sneak peaks ;)

A glimpse into our progress this month - Modifiers and Collections widgets are in the internal testing phase. Huzzah! Things are moving rapidly with our developers coming back online.

And also, here, a sneak peak of the Fog of War improvements that are being worked on! https://youtu.be/F4csGGEln4Q

Looking for Streamers

We’re looking for ttrpg live play/actual player streamers willing to spend 15-20 minutes talking to us about streaming live plays. We’re looking to expand our support for streamers, and we’d love to know what tools you would want to see.

If you’re interested in working with us, please email hem[@]questportal.com or support[@]questportal.com

Blog - Play D&D 5e with your friends
Playing Dungeons and Dragons 5e is now easier than ever with character sheets, SRDs, LevelUp 5e and a free claimable scenario: Mirehaven's Curse.

Gummi wrote this great piece on what Quest Portal can offer the Dungeons and Dragons 5e 2014 player, from systems, to character sheets, to scenario, let Gummi walk you through what we have to offer.

Library and Content additions

We added two big System Resource Documents this month as we welcome 13th Age and Mythcraft! Two huge fantasy games. And of course, we also have Template Character Sheets to go along with them

If you check out Mirehaven’s Curse, the free claimable scenario from D&D Reinkarnated, you’ll notice that all NPCs and PCs now have pre generated character sheets along with helpful roll buttons. Everything should now be pick up and play. Thank you to the Discord for making this suggestion.

Talking about suggestions, we added new sci-fi scenes, a bunch of new maps and new music to the scene builder. This includes maps from Light in Darkness Gaming and music from Blighthouse Studio. There will be more to come so keep your eyes peeled!

A Greek Tragedy

Before we leave, we want to share with you an awesome podcast with a perfect name: A Geek Tragedy.

Three lifelong three geeks, gathering in one place to talk about the world they live in. Talking about all sorts of nerdy things, from the apocalypse genre to Dr Who and so much in between: plus, awesome guests!

It’s really fun, and you can feel the friendship of these three lovely geeks Mark, Holly and Stephen. Go check it out in your podcatcher of choice https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-geek-tragedy/id1768771931 , or watch on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@AGeekTragedyPod

Let us know if someone you think should be in the Community Spotlight next month - email support@questportal.com and we’ll shine a light on them!

May you venture with a party who will catch you when you fall. Happy Adventures!
