What changed, and when, across every tool on this site — the full history, so each tool's own footer can just say what build it's on.
Row-list covers grew from 42×62 to 60×90, and the Currently Reading cover from 72×108 to 100×150. Each row now sits in its own card with proper padding and a visible gap between rows instead of a 1px hairline, so covers no longer read as crowded or overlapping at the larger size.
The cross-site nav strip now includes a link to the new Lorcana Packs tool, alongside Magic and Pokémon.
A tiny Cosmere-themed compass/diamond glyph now sits beside the page title, using a custom icon font instead of an image.
Stopped loading Spectral and IBM Plex live from Google Fonts. Headings now use Trirong and body text uses Source Sans 3, both embedded directly — matching how the rest of the site already handles fonts. Monospace numbers fall back to the system's own monospace font.
Switching Auto/Light/Dark while a palette was selected used to do nothing — the palette's colors were set as inline styles, which always beat the theme's CSS rules. Clicking Theme now clears any active palette first, then applies the chosen theme.
The same 10 Radiant-Order color palettes from the Encounter Tracker, plus a proper Auto/Light/Dark toggle. Book titles get a subtle accent-tinted color rather than the raw accent.
Cover art added for all five Arcanum Unbounded stories, and a short, spoiler-safe description added to every one of the 30 tracked entries.
The small "worlds visited" widget now shows all planet names without overlap; a missing closing tag from an earlier merge that had been quietly shrinking the big star map was also found and fixed.
Both fields now stay live and in sync no matter which one you last used, instead of only the active mode's field working.
The footer's build note was trimmed down to a single line linking here; a navigation strip was added reaching every other tool and apex page.
The five short pieces from the anthology are now tracked individually, each placed by its own spoiler risk instead of lumped into one entry.
Stopped duplicating player-facing mechanics; now explains the Plot Die, the three resource pools, and Heroic Path progression at a high level. Star map re-spaced to fix overlapping planet labels.
Corrected release dates, added a Warbreaker (Nalthis) entry, and linked each setting straight to its books in the Reading tab.
Several worlds were rendering in nearly identical colors; each now has its own hue and surface texture.
Added a star map, passport-style visited stamps, and a personalized reading "voyage" path.
Chapter/page sync, reading history and notes, search, JSON export/import, milestone badges, and pace tracking.
Initial launch, reading-order presets, and real cover art wired in across three follow-up uploads.
The cross-site nav strip now includes a link to the new Lorcana Packs tool, alongside Magic and Pokémon.
The round badge next to the title now shows a tiny Cosmere-themed compass/diamond glyph instead of sitting empty.
Stopped loading Fraunces, IBM Plex Sans, and JetBrains Mono live from Google Fonts. Headings now use Trirong and body text uses Source Sans 3, both embedded directly. Monospace numbers fall back to the system's own monospace font.
Switching Auto/Light/Dark while a palette was selected used to do nothing, for the same reason as Ars Arcana above. Clicking Theme now clears any active palette first.
A new "Site palette" row and Appearance toggle in Settings, above the existing location-skin picker (relabeled to avoid confusion between the two).
Character creation now walks Back/Next through Origins, Attributes, Path, Radiant, Equipment, Finishing and the Sheet as one flow. A character can only go Radiant at level 2+ (Speaking the First Ideal), enforced automatically. Per-skill rank caps now match the level-based budget from the Advancement table. Moved from cosmere.greywolfgames.net to its own address, wayfinder.greywolfgames.net, and fixed a "Cosmere tools" link that pointed back at itself.
Scadrial added alongside Roshar — Allomancy, Feruchemy, the Metalborn paths and Hemalurgy, plus equipment you can actually pick up and armour that sets your Deflect. Twelve official pregenerated characters checked the maths, and caught two formulas that had been wrong on Roshar too.
Core build-and-play workspace. Detailed notes from builds 6–40 aren't recorded here yet, aside from the Scadrial addition above.
Added alongside the existing Stormlight content.
Start an encounter on a laptop, finish it on a phone. One random code, no account, newest write wins and a stale device is told so rather than allowed to overwrite the table.
Focus, Investiture and condition tracking, plot die. Detailed build-by-build notes aren't recorded here yet.
Two follow-ups to the Reference Library shipped in Build 41. First, Steve asked for “the same type of boxed links we have on the pages already” instead of the compact list style, so all 32 links in that section were rebuilt as the site’s usual kicker/title/description link cards — the same component used for the launch cards on Home, Resources, and Tools. Second, the four conventions already listed on the Table page (Dragon Con, LUG Con, Dice + Diversions, Southern-Fried Gaming Expo) now also appear on the Calendar page, nearest date first, each with a live countdown computed in the visitor’s own browser from today’s date — no hand-typed “days until” number to go stale. Verified with HTML-parse and `node --check`. Sitewide build bumped to 42.
Steve handed over a big batch of organized-play links he hands out regularly: Paizo itself, the Pathfinder and Starfinder Society Guides to Organized Play, two Remaster-specific rules pages, nine social-media accounts (AtlantaPFS and Paizo across Facebook, Twitter, Mastodon, Bluesky, Twitch, and YouTube), nine reference and prep tools (RPG Chronicles, Warhorn, all three Archives of Nethys rules references, Demiplane, PFS Tracker, PFS Prep, and the Los Angeles PFS resource page), five character-builder sites, and three virtual tabletops. Added as a new Reference Library section at the end of The Table page, grouped under the same headings Steve used, in the page’s existing link-card style (matching the “Everything in one place” section higher up). Verified with HTML-parse and `node --check`. Sitewide build bumped to 41.
Steve sent a warm tabletop flat-lay — a candle, a stack of leather-bound journals, a hand-written campaign notebook open under a pen, scattered dice in half a dozen colors, tarot-style cards, two hex-grid maps with painted miniatures, and a mug of coffee — for the Tools page. Unlike the recent Foundry-screenshot heroes, this one needed no cropping: the whole photo reads as a single warm, inviting scene at any width. Saved as `hero-tools.jpg`, positioned to keep the notebook and dice in frame at typical viewport heights. Tools had never gotten the Build 31 medallion treatment either, so like About this was a direct plain-crest-to-photo conversion; kicker, title ("Tools"), and tagline all carried over unchanged. Verified with HTML-parse and `node --check`, and Playwright screenshots at desktop (1400px) and phone (390px) width. Sitewide build bumped to 40.
Steve sent another Foundry VTT screenshot — this one "The Duchy of Ubersreik" campaign hex map, with an NPC sheet and adventure-summary window open alongside it — and asked to use the bottom part for the About page. The hero crop comes from a clean stretch of the map itself, well clear of those side windows and the taskbar: the duchy's coat of arms and several of its named holdings (Grey Lady Pass, Black Rock, Teufeltal, Widow's Vale, Lady's Vale, Graustadt), with roads and terrain reading clearly at a glance. Saved as `hero-about.jpg`. The About page's crest icon had never gotten the Build 31 ringed-medallion treatment, so this is its first hero upgrade of any kind; kicker, title ("GREYWOLF"), and tagline all carried over unchanged, since the map crop carries no text of its own. Separately, the note on the Resources page about Steve's personal party notes (kept in Drive, citing rulebooks by chapter) is removed — those notes are shared directly with his own table, not posted here. Verified with HTML-parse and `node --check`, and Playwright screenshots at desktop (1400px) and phone (390px) width. Sitewide build bumped to 39.
Steve sent a Foundry VTT screenshot from an actual Stolen Lands hex-crawl session — journal panels, encounter text, and the campaign hex map all on screen at once. Rather than use the busy, text-heavy windows, the hero crop comes from the open stretch of map visible beneath them: plains, a river valley, forest, and hex markers, with none of the on-screen UI text in frame. That became `hero-resources.jpg`. Kicker, title ("Before you sit down"), and tagline all carried over unchanged, since the map crop has no text of its own to collide with. Verified with HTML-parse and `node --check`, and Playwright screenshots at desktop (1400px) and phone (390px) width. Sitewide build bumped to 38. Resources was the last page on the Build 31 ringed medallion — every themed page now has a photo hero.
The Foundry page's hero photo is swapped again: out goes the official Foundry Virtual Tabletop marketing banner from Build 33, in comes a screenshot Steve grabbed from an actual session — an icy "Frost Giant Cave" scene with a glowing magic circle, a "Frozen Wraith" character card, scattered dice, and the Combat Tracker sidebar. Cropped to the top of the screenshot to keep the most dramatic part in frame. The marketing banner had "Foundry Virtual Tabletop" baked into it as a full-height wordmark, so the page's own title was hidden to avoid a collision; this new screenshot carries no such text, so the title is shown again with a normal drop shadow.
The Table (Chronicles of the Arcanum) page's ringed medallion is replaced with a full photo hero: an overhead shot of a game table spread — dice tray, spell-component bottles, character sheet, quill, dice pouch — that Steve supplied. No baked-in text this time, so the kicker, title, and tagline all carried over unchanged. Resources is now the only page left on the ringed medallion.
The Calendar page's ringed medallion is replaced with a full photo hero: a stock photo of metal dice, coins, and a dice pouch on a stone table that Steve supplied, with the original "How to write a tabletop role-playing game" headline overlay cropped off — that overlay was baked directly into the source image rather than a separate layer, so the fix was cropping to the clean top two-fifths of the photo (dice, coins, and the pouch corner, no text) rather than trying to paint it out. Table and Resources are now the only pages still on the ringed medallion.
The Minis page's ringed medallion (shipped in Build 31) is replaced with a full photo hero using a real photo Steve supplied of a painted miniature party (Gandalf-style wizard front and center, flanked by dwarves and other adventurers). Unlike the Build 32/33 banners, this photo has no baked-in logo or wordmark, so the kicker, title, and tagline all stayed visible over it exactly as before — just moved from a plain crest onto the photo. Table, Calendar, and Resources are now the only pages still on the ringed medallion, since no official/commissioned art exists for them yet.
The Foundry page's ringed medallion (shipped in Build 31) is replaced with a full photo hero using the official Foundry Virtual Tabletop key-art banner Steve supplied, matching the treatment the other themed pages got in Build 32. Same pattern: the banner as a full-bleed background with a dark bottom gradient for legibility, kicker/title/tagline unchanged. This closes out the last page on the themed-hero-art rollout — every section-identity page on the site now has either a photo hero or a ringed medallion.
Plotweaver, MTG Packs, Poké Packs, Lorcana Packs, and the Pathfinder & Starfinder Society page all moved from the plain crest/medallion hero to a full photo hero built from official art (the same .hero.big treatment the homepage and Cosmere hub already used), with a dark gradient laid over the bottom of each image so the title and tagline stay readable. Where the artwork already carries its own logotype (Plotweaver's script wordmark, the Lorcana wordmark), the page's own heading is kept for assistive tech but hidden visually instead of duplicating it on screen. The Society hero uses a commissioned dark-fantasy piece (a horn relic under a glass dome, flanked by wraiths) rather than tournament-organizer art, since it reads better as the page's own mood-setting image. Magic and Pokémon's previously open fan-content question is resolved the same way Cosmere's was: official art supplied directly rather than sourced or generated by the site.
The Table, Society, Foundry, Calendar, Resources, and Minis pages all got the ringed-medallion hero treatment (the wolf crest inside a ringed badge, echoing how Warhorn frames a lodge's crest on black) instead of the plain small crest icon they had before. Each page's ring carries its own small repeating motif so they read as distinct at a glance: dice pips on Table, spark-stars on Society (Pathfinder & Starfinder side by side), a hex-grid ring on Foundry (the VTT map grid), clock ticks on Calendar, quill nibs on Resources, and paint dabs on Minis. First pass put a large crossed-icon shape directly behind the crest, but the crest image nearly fully covered it — caught by screenshotting each medallion up close rather than trusting the full-page view, and fixed by moving each motif out into the visible ring band instead.
The header's nav strip (12 links plus the brand mark and the Theme/Palette buttons) was sharing the same 1060px content column as the rest of the page, so on a normal desktop window “Lorcana” and a few neighbours were getting clipped instead of just crowding. The top bar now has its own wider container (1320px) independent of the page content below it, which stays at 1060px for readability. Phone-width behaviour (horizontal scroll on the nav strip) is unchanged.
The Pokémon hub page's launch button, and the placeholder tools listing, both linked to poke-packs.greywolfgames.net — a name the app was never actually deployed under. Both now point to pokemon.greywolfgames.net, matching MTG Packs' equivalent link. Note: as of this build, neither mtg.greywolfgames.net nor pokemon.greywolfgames.net is live yet (both 404) — that's a Cloudflare Pages/DNS deployment step, not a site-code issue, and is tracked separately.
The footer's build line and legal trademark disclaimer used to run together as one crammed paragraph next to the site nav; they're now three clearly separated pieces — nav row on top, then the build/version line, then the fan-content disclaimer in its own smaller, lighter fine-print block. Also removed the “Workshop log” section from the homepage (a curated highlight reel of recent builds) since a public marketing page isn't the place for that kind of behind-the-scenes detail — its five entries were folded into the proper per-tool logs on this page instead, with real dates where the homepage had them.
The Cosmere hub page now uses a full photographic hero background (official Cosmere Roleplaying Game key art) instead of the plain dark gradient, matching the treatment the homepage already had. First page in a planned rollout of themed hero art across the other subject pages.
Lorcana Packs is a standalone app on its own subdomain and had no link back to the main site. It now has a small wolf-crest icon button in its header that returns to its Grey Wolf Games hub page. MTG Packs and Pokémon Packs still need the same fix once their source files are available.
A new booster simulator for Disney Lorcana joins Magic and Pokémon: a hub page and a tools listing, added to the homepage’s Cracking Packs section, the Tools catalog, and site-wide navigation across every page.
A tiny Cosmere-themed compass/diamond glyph now sits at the end of each section header's underline on the Cosmere hub and Plotweaver pages, using a custom icon font.
Build 23 replaced the small nav badge everywhere, but missed the larger 64px crest that sits at the top of every inner page's own header — those 18 pages were still showing the old vector shield. Fixed; every page now shows the same wolf-head badge, top to bottom.
The vector shield crest is replaced everywhere (nav badge, all 19 pages) with a circular crop of a commissioned wolf-head astrolabe piece. The homepage hero is now the full photo itself, with the title set over a dark gradient for legibility — the rest of the site keeps its own look untouched.
It had been sitting on the player-facing Resources page, bundled together with an unrelated icon credit as if they were one thing. Both now live under a new GM Resources section on The Table, as two clearly separate items.
A batch edit while adding the site palette (below) had silently wiped the Tools-page filter, the About-page email reveal, the Minis gallery, the Society character/write-up cards, and the entire Calendar live-schedule feed on five pages. Restored from the original source and re-tested across every page on the site.
They lived in the footer before, easy to miss. Also fixed the theme toggle not overriding an active palette.
The button existed before the script that was supposed to wire it up ever ran, so clicking it did nothing.
The same 10 Radiant-Order palettes as the Encounter Tracker, added to all 18 pages, with a subtly tinted page title. Also added an external-tool reference card for The Chase by Fairway 3 Games (later moved to The Table — see Build 22).
The Tools page now filters by app instead of by game.
The suite got a front door, and Ars Arcana joined it — a reading tracker with real page counts for thirty books, every one editable because editions genuinely disagree.
Magic and Pokémon, built the same way. A duplicate-card bug turned up in both on the same day — thin rarity pools, which fat test fixtures had been hiding.
Cross-device sync for the Encounter Tracker shipped in the first few builds, alongside the items above.
A Radiant-Order color palette for the whole site — purely cosmetic, applies instantly, and carries across every page here (this browser only).
