Developer Notes - 2021-02 Ruleset Updates

[Moon Wizard]

Yes, when weighing the pros and cons, the removal of the iconography of the sidebar was a big negative for me. However, the sheer weight of the maintenance and ability to make new rulesets/themes was severely hampered by the requirement. You'll notice that several of the changes over the last year were to reduce the overhead of setting up new rulesets/themes.

Just checked Dev path, looking at 5e campaign. I like that the sidebar buttons are simple now, but kind of looks "plain" and "uninteresting" now.

For 5e specifically, ordering of the sidebar could be better. Races should be closer to Backgrounds and Classes, since those are the first 3 options you choose when building a character.

Aren't 5e character mainly using the wizard when building characters now though?

I don't, but that's not to say that it isn't used mainly by many.

Has anyone tried DEV with a Player Client?
On a player connection I am unable to create Charcaters.

I just connected. It didn't give the "plus" to add a new character, but the Character Wizard was there (for 5e) and it let me successfully create a character. I definitely don't approve of "forcing" players to use the wizard in the slightest.

As far as I can see that is also the case for other rulesets, that is, a missing plus button for players even though there is no character wizard So, no worries, that is certainly a bug, and no way of "forcing"; I doubt that the typical character creation gets abandoned, there is not really a reason for that

Your DM can setup a blank character sheet and you can take ownership of that sheet to create a character the old fashion way. You are not forced to use the wizard. You are still able to create characters outside of the session as well.
