Release 19 - Information and feedback
Pathfinder Second Edition ruleset Release 19 is now in the LIVE channel!
Please make sure you read this post (#1) and the next two (#2 and #3) - there are a lot of new things in Release 19 and moving to it can be confusing if you're not aware of the additions!
It's finally here - after waiting way too long for this. I hope the wait's worth it! Release 19 has lots of new functionality, with the main aspect being "Activities" (see post #3 for details of what's new in this Release).
Release 19 has a large amount of new code and has been in the test channel for about a month to try to iron out most of the major issues - thanks to all of those who helped with testing. Because of this large amount of code changes, there could be issues in areas we weren't able to fully test, and there's also a very good chance that the new code will clash with extensions - either obviously (error messages) or more subtly (no error messages, but things don't quite work right). Therefore, we strongly recommend that you don't update just before a game and that you may encounter issues with extensions. If you do use extensions and you come across a problem, please try to recreate the issue without extensions before report it to us.
That said, I have been using this code in my own PF2 Kingmaker campaign for the last three months, as have some others in the test channel. Note: I run about 3 extensions, none of which are specific to PF2 and don't rely on the PF2 code.
Thanks to everyone who's tested and provided feedback. This is going out a little earlier than I would have liked (I wanted to add a couple of things, fix some bugs and add more activities/automation to DLC records) but we're tied to the Core changes that went live today. Therefore, this is really a beta+ release into live - it's very playable, the main concern is probably going to be the PC update process not working smoothly for some PCs and extensions clashing with the extensive R19 code. Thanks for your understanding if you run into issues - we'll attempt to resolve them as quickly as we can.
I'll continue to refine the code further, add more activities/automation in the Core Rules and the other rulebook products over the coming weeks...
