LaTiaJacquise: Anything that happens after a Monday goes in the following Monday’s Changelog, so if you saw it sometime late last week, it’s likely to show on the Changelog update later today.

WOTC_Zac: The Encounter Builder definitely needs love. Unfortunately, the code is extremely old and convoluted, it's not practical to update it.

We have plans to rebuild it, and I absolutely hear the community feedback of "we want to be able to use the Encounter Builder even if we aren't using the VTT."

It would be more work to try to reuse what's there. Let's just say there's a reason we haven't even been able to add the new shared dice feature to it yet!

WOTC_Zac: There are actually LOTS of updates, but it's all to things that haven't been published yet - Condition Tracking, Player Journals, a few upcoming projects, etc. This was just a slow week for updates to things that are already out.

What is the current ETA on Player Journals?

WOTC_Zac: Soon ™️. :)

We don't publish release dates, because there's too many things that can happen to move them, but the first version of Journals came out at the end of May, and the second version came out at the end of June. Past behavior is not a predictor of future behavior, but.......

WOTC_Zac: The people developing stickers are not the same people as the engineers working on the new platform rebuild! This is a case of, to quote something I heard once, "save the whales doesn't mean kill the dolphins."

We have multiple teams all working on different important projects. Some projects are more important to some people and others are more important to others.

But it's also true that we have 200 things we want to do, but choosing to work on one means we are choosing not to work on 199 others.

I do hope you stick around, even if we don't have all the features you want right now. We are active in the community every day, getting feedback and asking questions and gathering more and more ideas, then we are hard at work to build the best version of those features we can.

Issues with pre-order redeem code missing for Ultimate Bundle of Arcana Unleashed

WOTC_Randy: Hey folks, I just wanted to acknowledge this. I'll raise it to the team looking after this and if I need more details, I may reach out to you. Thanks for your patience!

(On Drops content never being printed)

GrandPyromania: This isn't strictly true. Nothing prevents this content from appearing in a future book, it's just that the timelines for Drops content and the books are super far apart, so it might be awhile before you see them.

That said - the other elephant in the room (will Drops content be in a physical, standalone product) is a big question mark. There are a LOT of considerations and explorations we have to make on our end to see if this is doable. It's why we haven't directly said "yes or no" whenever this comes up - it's too early for us to commit to one way or another.

For the record - I'm in charge of DDB Drops, so I generally have the most up-to-date information. If you can point me toward where we said it would never be printed, I'll happily take a look and get that corrected.

To my knowledge, the closest we've said is that our content will veer toward stuff that wouldn't make sense for print products - which was (intended) to mean that we'll release content that wouldn't make sense to include in a forthcoming title (either due to relevancy or the scope of the product). For example, it would've been weird to include the Para-Elementals in Ravenloft: The Horrors Within, but if they would make sense in a future product, the design team has no issues about pulling that content in.

We're intending to release an errata soon™, that'll address this (Editor: Astral Flood) and a lot of other common issues that have been reported by the community and across the various feedback channels we have.
