NewImprovedBug VanquishedUnder the Hood

•The oracle: ask the world an uncertain question (is the door locked?) and a server-rolled answer binds the story and stays true, logged like any other roll
•The story can surprise you: random events woven from the characters and threads already in your session
•Named characters remember: they watch what you do, recall how you spoke to them, and their warmth or grudge bends your social rolls and how they receive you next scene
•Shield is a true reaction: when a hit lands and you can cast it, the game pauses at the moment of impact and offers the choice
•A new adventure: The Mournfen Bells, a rural folk-horror one-shot under a cracked bell
•The Guidebook: what the game is, how to talk to your game master, and how the dice really work, at /guide
•This Chronicle: release notes now live here, cut by cut
•Consumables arrive: healing potions, alchemist’s fire, holy water, and a Use Item action in combat

•Enemy HP is visible in combat, so you can see how close a foe is to falling
•Monsters fight by their stat blocks: resistances and immunities, Pack Tactics, Martial Advantage, Magic Resistance, and Undead Fortitude
•After a fight you get real next steps: search the bodies, take a short rest, press on, with a Spend a Hit Die button when you are wounded
•Character creation grew up: illustrated class cards, a preview of what you will wield, racial traits on the sheet, and a full summary before you begin
•Your hero is seen: race, pronouns, and appearance reach the narration, so the barkeep finally notices the dwarf walking in
•Story characters keep their names hidden until you actually learn them in-fiction
•The lobby wears the landing page’s atmosphere, and every adventure card now ships with painted art
•Deleting your account now truly erases your data everywhere we store it, with an audit trail

•Loosing an arrow in free text uses your bow and your Dexterity, not a phantom melee swing
•Short rests actually heal, and the Hit Die roll shows in your log
•Typed spell attacks like Fire Bolt roll and resolve in combat, and a missed spell never shows damage
•Sleep works by the book: it pools 5d8 and puts the lowest foes down instead of dealing damage
•Effects that grant advantage on saves (Dwarven Resilience and kin) now actually grant it
•Great Weapon Fighting rerolls 1s and 2s on damage dice, shown in the roll log

•During beta, signup is limited to players 18 and older, matching the Guidebook FAQ
•Site reliability monitoring across every page, and a release process that keeps this Chronicle honest
