View Full Version : Tactical Maps Reincarnated: Why so many updates?

It seems every time I fire up Fantasy Grounds there is an "un-announced" update for the Tactical Maps Revisited (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store/product.php?id=WOTCTMR) module. I think there has been like 5-6 updates since I have purchased this module, and no apparent changes to it. It is just a bunch of images; no stories, NPCs, items, spells, or other handouts that have errata to be fixed.
So why so many updates when nothing appears to change?

The most recent one is probably due to this: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?48750-WOTC-Tactical-Map-Pack-not-showing-as-a-module-to-load-in-the-library

And other updates are usually mentioned in the Tuesday release notes available in the City Hall forum.

There are three changes that I'm aware of. The first was because I changed the way the module was put together to make it easier to link the maps to the companion product Adventure Atlas. By doing so I inadvertently made the module 5e only where it had previously been available in any ruleset. Once this was discovered a change was made to make it available in any ruleset but an error crept into that process and so it was changed again.

So whilst to the user it is like the duck above the surface but under the water it's been paddling like hell.

Oh, right. It isn't out yet is it. :)

I assume the store; I think that the pdf is already on DMsguild.
