34
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,000
dispelling the myth that a lot of

35
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,600
detractors i think of of the tool set

uh so we're gonna be talking a little

40
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:46,479
bit about that obviously giving you a

41
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,159
road map of

42
00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:50,159
what's coming up and then uh we'll

43
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:52,560
answer your questions

44
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:55,600

45
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:59,280
uh to the images in the slides today

46
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:01,600
you will catch on to a very fun theme

47
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,960
all right mellie you ready to do this

48
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,240
yeah i think i'm ready to do this i'm

49
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,680
very curious about this theme

50
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,920
that we have going on so i feel like i

51
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,720
also need to pay attention it's uh it's

52
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,280
subtle

53
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,280
uh uh that's it also i think uh melee

54
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,200
just does a heads up uh stream hero's

55
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,480
not working right that's correct our

56
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,040
streaming heroes are still on break

57
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,879
they're taking

58
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,040
you know an extended rest so they're

59
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:24,080
doing kind of some rest and relaxation

60
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,840
tasks and quests um

61
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,200
but we do have questions going so go

62
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,080
ahead and drop those in chat mods will

63
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,319

68
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,560
stuff that's nowish spell management on

69
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:44,319
the android ddb player app and also

70
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,519
candle keep mysteries i don't know if

71
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:46,000

72
00:02:45,519 --> 00:02:48,319

73
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000

75
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,879

app

82
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:08,480
so it takes a little bit more time but

83
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,720
there's a few more uh bells and whistles

84
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,280
and

85
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,760
and uh and uh obstacles you have to

86
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,920
solve

87
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,000
quests you need to undertake uh on the

88
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:17,040
ios side for apps so that just a couple

89
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,080
week delay

90
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:22,640
uh in between the two operating systems

91
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,680

00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:40,479
actually i've been working with the team

190
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:43,840
since

191
00:06:40,479 --> 00:06:46,639
march 2017 when the site went into beta

192
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:48,800
so yeah i started off as volunteering as

193
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:50,319
a moderator and uh

194
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,639
somewhere along the way i picked up how

195
00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:54,639
to do all the things and uh

196
00:06:52,639 --> 00:06:56,240

00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,280
how does this work how's these rules

200
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,759
work wait how do we make our system do

201
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:04,960
this

202
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:07,919
and uh here i am i

203
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,520
i do in my short time so far i do tend

204
00:07:07,919 --> 00:07:11,440
to see a lot of people say like

205
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,039
what's this mean or what's this rule and

206
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:16,400
someone tends to just be like

207
00:07:13,039 --> 00:07:19,120
ask faith faith faithful no um so yes

208
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,680
the content specialist absolutely uh

209
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,479
very

210
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,800
well earned uh if you could uh if you

211
00:07:22,479 --> 00:07:25,759
could

212
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,840
like just generally sort of explain uh

213
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:29,680
your job like your day to day i know

214
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,599
part of it is just generally being one

215
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,080
of our dad experts

216
00:07:31,599 --> 00:07:36,080
um and it you know it sort of involves

217
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,240
content in the compendium pages

218
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,199
but for the people walk us through it

219
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,720
yeah so

220
00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:45,199
um what our team is this is like thomas

221
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,280
elliott and adam who also work with me

222
00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:50,080
on the game content team

223
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,039
and uh so i don't want to talk too much

224
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,800
about what we do

225
00:07:51,039 --> 00:07:54,240
all the files that we get from wizards

226
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,000
the coast and that side of things that's

227
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,360
very much eliot's bag

228
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,680
um my day-to-day several things

229
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,919
one is figuring out how we're going to

230
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,400
use the awesome tools that our devs

231
00:08:03,919 --> 00:08:05,840
build

232
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,080
so that we can actually make all the

233
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:11,520
really complicated subclasses

234
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:14,400
races lineage uh make all the spells

235
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,280
work so make sure those get built as

236
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,360
well as the

237
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,360
compendium pages and figuring out

238
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,160
styling and making them all look really

239
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,240
cool

240
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,160
and making them accessible which is

241
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,759
really important to us

242
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,759
yeah and we'll definitely get into that

243
00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:30,879
accessibility stuff uh

244
00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:33,440
uh here in a minute i'd love to and i

245
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:35,120
know uh elliot's not here to join us but

246
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,800
uh you know as we do have

247
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,479
you know this book dropping this week

248
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,240
i'd love to get a little more into this

249
00:08:38,479 --> 00:08:42,000
idea of uh

250
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,440
all the work that you guys go and even

251
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,360
just like a broad overview because we

252
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,240
can have elliott come on soon to to deep

253
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,320
dive with us

254
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,240
uh elliott the dm of my office game our

255
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:53,279
office game our shared office game

256
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:55,440
um uh but i'd love to hear sort of

257
00:08:53,279 --> 00:08:56,320
just like a little bit of like okay we

258
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,040
get the book

259
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,480
from wizards and you know just sort of

260
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,399
it's not just we don't we're not

261
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,839
slapping a pdf on the site and charging

262
00:09:02,399 --> 00:09:06,640
for it no no no no no

263
00:09:03,839 --> 00:09:07,519
so i mean that comes in many many files

264
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,640
right so

265
00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:13,600
um one of my specific jobs is being an

266
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:15,200
expert in photoshop as well so we take

267
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,720
all of those art assets that they give

268
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,399
us and these d d

269
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,480
books that wizards the coast produced

270
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:20,880
they've got some really beautiful art in

271
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,399
it

272
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,800
that we have to make sure that we do

273
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:27,040
justice too and actually putting those

274
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,800
on a web page is nowhere near as simple

275
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:32,080
as just sort of going up but

276
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:34,399
print done so we build

277
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,160
the frames that go on the page so

278
00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:36,880
there's the background the bit that sits

279
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,839
behind

280
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:41,680
the the menu on the left making sure

281
00:09:39,839 --> 00:09:43,200
that we put them on the page in a way

282
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:44,800
that's actually going to work

283
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,800
but there's a technical side to it as

284
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,640
well which is making sure that all the

285
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,880
images like you know properly optimized

286
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:54,080
and going to work well with browsers

287
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:56,640
um making sure the maps have all got

288
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,160
like a separate player version

289
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,480
so oh yeah we've got an image on the

290
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,240
stream there so that's just showing one

291
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,279
there you can see this is candle keep

292
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,240
mysteries

293
00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:06,640
and we've taken the cover art for the

294
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,560
book

295
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,240
and we've put it on the left and then

296
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:12,160
making sure that we use the same

297
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,160
styling that wizards the coast to use in

298
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,320
the book we've put like that splotch

299
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,839
detail around it to fade it out

300
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,760
and then taken some of that gold

301
00:10:17,839 --> 00:10:21,839
filigree that they use somewhere else in

302
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,200
the book and put that at the top right

303
00:10:21,839 --> 00:10:24,880
just to make sure the page actually

304
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,600
looks nice and is a good experience to

305
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,600
look at as well

306
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,480
i love that and uh yeah well and you

307
00:10:30,079 --> 00:10:33,040
like do stuff not just on that part like

308
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,720
the

309
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,560
you know there's text box and all these

310
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:39,920
other parts that you know

311
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:42,240
you kind of take on styling to

312
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,760
make books kind of have their own unique

313
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,640
style right

314
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,600
for sure yeah so another big part of my

315
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,720
job is

316
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,600
this is all like built on html with css

317
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,600
which is

318
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,200
cascading style sheets it's the way that

319
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:58,240
most the internet's built

320
00:10:55,200 --> 00:11:01,440
which defines how everything looks so a

321
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:03,279
lot of our books have um

322
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,560
you know a lot of the dnd books they all

323
00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:07,519
have like these little book

324
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:09,120
little blocks where rules text blocks or

325
00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:10,079
a bit that you're supposed to read aloud

326
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,839
as the dm

327
00:11:10,079 --> 00:11:14,720
and they always have slightly different

328
00:11:11,839 --> 00:11:16,320
styles and colors in each of the books

329
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,240
and yeah you can see one there that's

330
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,000
like a rules text box we call that at

331
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,920
the top it's got the rules in it

332
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,279
so we make sure that we match the colors

333
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,440
but make sure that we adjust them

334
00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:27,680
slightly so they work well on the site

335
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,519
add the styling so it looks visually the

336
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:31,440
same as the actual

337
00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:32,959
dnd book you'll have in your hand if

338
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,959
you've got the physical one

339
00:11:32,959 --> 00:11:36,800
you can see there with these stat blocks

340
00:11:34,959 --> 00:11:39,760
and that's something that's interesting

341
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:42,000
i personally have a philosophy that

342
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,519
every book that we could build out

343
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,360
should have an improvement on the

344
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:47,920
previous one

345
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,200
i'm not personally okay with just doing

346
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,880
the same as we've done before

347
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,320
we need to be better we always need to

348
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,839
be better so

349
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,160
just adding that texture so that it

350
00:11:53,839 --> 00:11:57,600
looks more like a monster stat block

351
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,360
um putting just like a little bit of

352
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,320
shadow around it so it pops out that

353
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,600
little bit more

354
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,600
a lot of stuff like that

355
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:07,519
do you have anything on your wish list

356
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,079
or like road map for uh for things you

357
00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:10,880
want to

358
00:12:08,079 --> 00:12:12,639
no wow i'm walking into you walking you

359
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,720
into a get in trouble question

360
00:12:12,639 --> 00:12:15,920
sorry but is there are there things on

361
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,760
your wish list and road map that you're

362
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,959
like i always wish that we we could do

363
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,079
this with the book

364
00:12:18,959 --> 00:12:23,760
um this you know uh

365
00:12:22,079 --> 00:12:25,200
if you have any just like goals in the

366
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,360
next year with like

367
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,639
i'd love for for this look to be applied

368
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:32,000
or for us to access them

369
00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:33,279
access them this way you know

370
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,480
and i'm not saying whether this is

371
00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:35,279
something that we're gonna do or

372
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,040
anything

373
00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:40,639
but i've always wanted us to be able to

374
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,639
have moving images on the page

375
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,639
i dig that quite a bit i did hey pure

376
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,399
speculation baby but i

377
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:48,320
i like it a lot uh i think that that

378
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:49,040
would be that's a that's a really really

379
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,600
cool

380
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,079
uh goal to be able to push for um no i

381
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,000
dig that

382
00:12:52,079 --> 00:12:55,360
i i want to talk a little bit about

383
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,440
accessibility

384
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,600
uh with the books that's a big part of

385
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:03,040
what you do

386
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:04,240
yeah so accessibility we've uh just

387
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,880
recently

388
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,880
lead engineer dave who you've met

389
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:11,760
previously on these dev updates

390
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,240
uh he's formed an accessibility chapter

391
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,240
which

392
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,680
uh shows just how important it is that

393
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,200
we really embrace this

394
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:20,320
but it's something i've personally been

395
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:24,000
pushing on with our team as well that

396
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:27,279
we must do because we have a segment of

397
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:29,760
uh community who rely on dmd beyond as a

398
00:13:27,279 --> 00:13:32,480
way of being able to play d and d

399
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,240
when they can't actually access the game

400
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,760
through a normal physical book so they

401
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,680
use screen readers

402
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,279
now you can see on the screen here we've

403
00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:41,440
got uh something from

404
00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:43,120
one of the pages in candle keep and that

405
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,160
looks really cool that's designed to be

406
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,160
a player handout

407
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,079
you can see the image on the right there

408
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,639
and it's got like fancy text

409
00:13:48,079 --> 00:13:53,199
and uh you know and it really leans into

410
00:13:50,639 --> 00:13:54,880
this is what you actually found

411
00:13:53,199 --> 00:13:56,480
but if you've got a screen reader you

412
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,160
need straight text or if

413
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,320
even if the dm wants to be able to

414
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,399
provide it in some separate manner to

415
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,720
somebody else they play with you just

416
00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:06,880
need text so we always strive to

417
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,399
provide that as well and make sure that

418
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,079
the page top to bottom

419
00:14:08,399 --> 00:14:12,480
works as well as it can with a screen

420
00:14:10,079 --> 00:14:12,480
reader

421
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,720
i think that's awesome i think that's

422
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:19,760
just such a cool like extra little touch

423
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:21,600

amazing

439
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,519
uh one of the questions that i i'm

440
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,800
seeing come up here

441
00:14:49,519 --> 00:14:53,839
and i know you have beyond expertise

442
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,560
with this

443
00:14:53,839 --> 00:14:58,639
is the difference between the you know

444
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:01,199
official tools that we use when we're

445
00:14:58,639 --> 00:15:02,560
entering content like races and classes

446
00:15:01,199 --> 00:15:05,040
and subclasses

447
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,480
compared to what people have access to

448
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,480
with home rituals could you talk a

449
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:11,680
little bit about that

450
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:13,760
yeah for sure so when uh we first

451
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,920
started uh doing this

452
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,040
it became very evident that it was not

453
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,720
going to be okay

454
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,399
for the devs to have to be entering this

455
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,880
and it was need for some a separate team

456
00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:23,920
to do it

457
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:26,079
and uh there were people before i was

458
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,519
even on the team who were responsible

459
00:15:26,079 --> 00:15:30,720
for doing that using

460
00:15:27,519 --> 00:15:32,880
forms and they were

461
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,639
as bare bones as needed to be to get the

462
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,240
job done because there was so much

463
00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:39,199
other development that was needed to be

464
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:42,000
done on the site now along the way

465
00:15:39,199 --> 00:15:43,279
there was a lot of feedback from the

466
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,040
community that

467
00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:46,959
we really needed the ability to deliver

468
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:49,040
homebrew on the site and people needed

469
00:15:46,959 --> 00:15:50,880
to be able to create their own content

470
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,079
and the only way to do that was to take

471
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,920
the same forms that

472
00:15:52,079 --> 00:15:57,519
we use and effectively expose them so

473
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,519
that the community can use them as well

474
00:15:57,519 --> 00:16:02,399
with a few constraints around it

475
00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:03,199
so we use the same forms in the same

476
00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:06,000
system

477
00:16:03,199 --> 00:16:06,480
there are the odd little you know

478
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,240
there's

479
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,000
things here and there so we can assign

480
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,560
them to specific books

481
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,000
and it's the odd field that really if

482
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,519
people had this they would be able to

483
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,279
break everything so we don't let them

484
00:16:15,519 --> 00:16:19,920
touch that i'm afraid

485
00:16:17,279 --> 00:16:22,639
but yeah um what you see on homebrew is

486
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,399
what i'm using to build stuff

487
00:16:22,639 --> 00:16:26,320
yeah and i can attest to that as well

488
00:16:24,399 --> 00:16:28,320
because i was just like a user

489
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,000
and i made homebrew and then i started

490
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,440
to become a moderator and i got to kind

491
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,880
of see some of that back end stuff and i

492
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,440
was like hey wait a second this is

493
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:38,000
exactly what i was doing before

494
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,560
oh my gosh uh so really that's that's

495
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,120
not a

496
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,079
an exaggeration that these are the same

497
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,399
tools

498
00:16:42,079 --> 00:16:45,440
uh there's just some extra options that

499
00:16:44,399 --> 00:16:47,680
help us

500
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,560
kind of create all of the things that we

501
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,839
need

502
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,240
uh and that's another thing we kind of

503
00:16:49,839 --> 00:16:52,560
see is people are are wondering as far

504
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,519
as

505
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,839
you know we've got these generic

506
00:16:55,519 --> 00:16:58,320
features these boons these dark secrets

507
00:16:57,839 --> 00:17:00,480
these

508
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,880
uh there's encounters and all of these

509
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:05,120
things that we don't uh necessarily

510
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,000
have indeed to be on yet and people are

511
00:17:05,120 --> 00:17:08,079
asking well how

512
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,439
how can i help to do that or is that

513
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:10,959
something that we're going to be

514
00:17:09,439 --> 00:17:12,959
doing is that something that that you're

515
00:17:10,959 --> 00:17:15,679
involved with at all faith

516
00:17:12,959 --> 00:17:17,679
yeah so anytime we're talking about any

517
00:17:15,679 --> 00:17:18,799
other features we're delivering whether

518
00:17:17,679 --> 00:17:21,280
it be

519
00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:23,280
you know the generic contents this uh

520
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,199
generic feature system so that will give

521
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,120
us blessings booms etc

522
00:17:25,199 --> 00:17:28,319
whether it be i'm pretty sure we've

523
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:30,080
talked about this

524
00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:32,480
being able to roll the dice in the

525
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:35,600
combat tracker and so forth

526
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,840
um or whether it be having actually

527
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,799
all of the official encounters the game

528
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,640
content team

529
00:17:38,799 --> 00:17:42,000
are very central to that so yeah i'll

530
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,919
have been in those meetings and we'll be

531
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,640
working away i'm making sure that

532
00:17:43,919 --> 00:17:47,120
that actually is delivered so we have

533
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,760
like

534
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:51,679
a system where the devs you know work

535
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,280
with us to find out hey

536
00:17:51,679 --> 00:17:55,440
what do you actually need in terms of

537
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,200
tools to make this happen

538
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,360
then they go away and create those we

539
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:01,120
test all make sure it all works

540
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:04,960
and then we just fill it up with that

541
00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:04,960
content and make sure it's ready to go

00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,799
yeah and i'll say you know just as a as

562
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,520
a bystander

563
00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:44,799
on our on our company slack uh i don't

564
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,400
have any stake in this part of the

565
00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:47,520
business i just make the clown stuff but

566
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,559
i will say

567
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:53,440
uh that um the moment

568
00:18:50,559 --> 00:18:55,039
you guys drop feedback into the discord

569
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:58,240
uh into the forums

570
00:18:55,039 --> 00:18:59,760
uh it's usually faith actually uh faith

571
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,200
and a few others who are immediately

572
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,200
just like lighting that up uh

573
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,280
in our slacking and and pushing that

574
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:08,160
stuff along so it's definitely not uh

575
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:10,080
you know falling into an empty pit yeah

576
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,880
if i can just speak on that for a moment

577
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:15,039
so yeah that that feedback is massively

578
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,880
valuable to us so we're always looking

579
00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:17,679
to improve what we're doing as i talked

580
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,440
on earlier

581
00:19:17,679 --> 00:19:21,360
and the only way we do that is by

582
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,400
embracing the feedback and it's not just

583
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:24,880
people telling us

584
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,080
hey this is awesome we need to know when

585
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,880
we've done something that you're not

586
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,720
happy with

587
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,799
but we need to know details we need to

588
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,880
know what we could do to be better

589
00:19:30,799 --> 00:19:34,640
and yeah um you'll find me on the forums

590
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,160
and sometimes on discord please don't

591
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,840
ping me because i often have a lot of

592
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,120
work to do so you know i might not be

593
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,919
able to get back to you

594
00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:43,600
but posting the forms and if even if i

595
00:19:41,919 --> 00:19:46,160
don't spot it the moderator will usually

596
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:48,400
bring it to my attention

597
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:50,160
and uh weirdly you know just as like a

598
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,400
feedback tip as someone who has left

599
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:55,679
feedback for things myself uh

600
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:59,120
uh oddly if they're not in all caps and

601
00:19:55,679 --> 00:20:02,159
uh aren't aren't like 60

602
00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:06,880
uh uh you taking your day out on us

603
00:20:02,159 --> 00:20:08,559
uh it's super helpful it's like

604
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,480
that feedback actually just somehow just

605
00:20:08,559 --> 00:20:11,760
gets like processed so much better so uh

606
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,760
uh

607
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,200
write the anger as my therapist says

608
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:18,400
write the angry email

609
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:20,640
then then throw it away don't send it

610
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,919
and then write us the actual feedback

611
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,400
that you want to give us

612
00:20:21,919 --> 00:20:26,240
and uh and and and use that energy to

613
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:29,600
give us real details and insight

614
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:32,159
and uh and yeah uh faith and and

615
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,640
uh is usually the one leading the charge

616
00:20:32,159 --> 00:20:35,760
on

617
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:37,280
on processing that stuff um yeah faith

618
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,039

619
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,320

is

629

better

631
00:20:58,159 --> 00:21:02,960
that's the best route you can go for us

632
00:21:00,799 --> 00:21:04,960
being able to actually improve that

633
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,120
taking this 90 degrees can i show you

634
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,960
something because um

635
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:10,480
this thing that i've done in the past is

636
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,400
like people come on and they're like hey

637
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,080

638
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:17,760

out of a comic book page catalog old

644
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,520
school isn't it no

645
00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:32,400
no no that was from my local comic shop

646
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,919
um

647
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:38,960
like 1994 i think

648
00:21:35,919 --> 00:21:39,840
93 maybe that was like yeah i mean

649
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,120
that's like the

650
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:46,400
the the pre-jim lee relaunch costumes

651
00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:48,000

652
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,840
yeah yeah yeah

653
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,840
sorry no i think we got time we got one

654
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,640
more question thank you for giving me

655
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,400
that contract

656
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,400
no worries um but i think this is

657
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,919
something that you know we don't have a

658
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,039
straight up answer for but it's

659
00:21:57,919 --> 00:22:00,480
something that you can give a bit of

660
00:21:59,039 --> 00:22:01,919
insight to you faith you've talked about

661
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,640
how you know there's some things we have

662
00:22:01,919 --> 00:22:03,919
access to

663
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,240
that if other people did it would break

664
00:22:03,919 --> 00:22:09,360
the sheet and we have some people asking

665
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:10,960
homebrew classes why uh

666
00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:12,640
is that one of those things is that

667
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,720
something where you know

668
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,760
hey we want to make this what are the

669
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,159
limitations that

670
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,919
you can see from your position on those

671
00:22:18,159 --> 00:22:23,039
kinds of things

672
00:22:19,919 --> 00:22:25,520
wow homebrew classes so um i could speak

673
00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:27,840
a bit about classes so

674
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,760
a little while back wizards of the coast

675
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:32,240
came up with this thing that uh you

676
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:35,760
might have heard of called the artificer

677
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:38,080
that we needed to be able to add

678
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:40,640
to the site and that fell on me to be

679
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:43,679
able to create that

680
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,679
it was a week of work

681
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,080
to make it all work properly using the

682
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:50,400
forms so i appreciate it

683
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,600
yeah yeah and [ __ ] i love that class i

684
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,120
do too but also

685
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,039
like to make it work but also so that it

686
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:57,840
doesn't uh crunch with everything

687
00:22:55,039 --> 00:22:58,880
because classes touch like every part of

688
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,760
your feet

689
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:04,000
so with with the forms that we've got we

690
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,880
definitely have the capability to be

691
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,120
able to build

692
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,799
new classes on the system and i also had

693
00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:09,200
to build the blood hunter as well when

694
00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:12,000
we

695
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:13,039
added that yeah that was best part of a

696
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:17,520
week as well

697
00:23:13,039 --> 00:23:18,559
so in terms of technical capacity to be

698
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,679
able to do this

699
00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:23,200
thing there would be a chunk of work to

700
00:23:21,679 --> 00:23:26,240
do that

701
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:29,520
but the biggest issue is just

702
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:31,039
how sensitive it would be to being able

703
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,880
to build something that just

704
00:23:31,039 --> 00:23:34,480
flat out didn't work and broke

705
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,080
everything else on your character sheet

706
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,039
and the amount of frustration people

707
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,720
would feel

708
00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:40,559
because they don't have my knowledge on

709
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,880
how this all stacks up

710
00:23:40,559 --> 00:23:45,039
to be able to actually build that so you

711
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:47,200
know we not only need to be able to do

712
00:23:45,039 --> 00:23:49,679
something we also need to build

713
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,600
a very different interface to be able to

714
00:23:49,679 --> 00:23:54,400
actually allow people to build something

715
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,279
and to build content on our site not

716
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,760
just classes

717
00:23:55,279 --> 00:23:58,480
subclasses all of these other things in

718
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,880
a much more

719
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,559
sensible and modular manner that is

720
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,720
something that is on the

721
00:24:02,559 --> 00:24:05,760
you know on the road map for the future

722
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:09,919
i couldn't tell you when

723
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:13,520
i'm not part of those dev teams

724
00:24:09,919 --> 00:24:15,679
again neat stuff coming uh

725
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,880
i think we've got we've got time for uh

726
00:24:15,679 --> 00:24:18,720
for one more question

727
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,559
of melee and faith thank you so much for

728
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,720

uh super appreciate it and uh sort of

732
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,679
faith like like you said as we were sort

733
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,120
of planning this episode uh

734
00:24:29,679 --> 00:24:32,799
talking about everything that goes into

735
00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:34,880
the compendiums is a

736
00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:36,640
big big conversation so i think this is

737
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,559
a really great starting point

738
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,080
uh to start talking about them and then

739
00:24:38,559 --> 00:24:41,919

743
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:49,600
