July subscriber perks are now available! There are five backdrops that have been added to the options on subscriber character sheets. If you haven't subscribed yet, do so now to receive the new perks, and the extended June perks: The sanguine digital dice set!
The email I received today and your post update here an hour ago says the five new backdrops for July are available now but I don't see them in my backdrops setting page.
EDIT: Never mind. I looked back a page or two in this thread and saw about syncing the subscriber entitlements.
I love the backgrounds but you can't really see how awesome it is, I'm using the new Tiamat background and you don't get to see the whole picture just the left side heads, is it suppose to look better on a tablet or on the phone app?

No, they are only visible on desktop if you resize your browser window to take up twice as much space as comfortable.

I can actually see the backdrop better when I shrink my browser window's width down to 50% screen width. But Tiamat's white dragon head is only barely visible no matter how much I resize the window. It looks like they took the art from ROT, blew it up a little, and did a little Adobe Illustrator stuff to it. But when they magnified the image they lost the white dragon head, so that's kinda weird.
I like the other images better...but I think this one would be a winner if they would un-magnify it so that you can see the rest of Tiamat's heads!
We really could do with a way to reposition the images at smaller sizes, or someone at DDB to do a pass of them and give better positioning; some images have their best details right at the edges so they disappear on mobile or when the page is shrunk down.
Personally though I'd like to have it under player control, e.g- give us a 3x3 grid to set whether the image originates from a corner, side or the centre, that way we can get more of the portion we want at smaller sizes? This should be fairly easy to do with CSS.

I remain a free user only until my groups are done migrating from DDB, and if necessary D&D, after which I'm done. There are better systems owned by better companies out there.

Its ok, when im playing i have my character sheet on a vertical oriented screen so i never see anything. It also makes dark mode moot because theres half a screen of blaring white light coming from it.

I have achieved ultimate power then since i always keep chrome maximized
Good for you. I keep the window with the sheet as small as possible so I can fit other windows next to it, to reduce the amount of switching tabs and keep an overview while looking other things up :) So for me (and a couple of people who has a similar use case) flashy backgrounds are totally moot. I wouldn't mind some ambient colour or gradient options - even better, to turn backgrounds off and just replace with a generic colour, to reduce footprint, to be honest. In the worst case, the option to just have whatever the main site uses as a background.

Maybe they should skip a month so they could roll out on time going forward.
Technically that would make them forever late as each month's perk realistically should have been for the month prior. Eventually I think they'll get on track. I'd rather get them in the middle of the month than not at all.
As much as I agree with this, you also have to see this from a business standpoint. If they just let you have your pick of free backgrounds for the month they would stop making money from the subscriptions after people collect them all. It would be like PlayStation Plus giving away whatever 2 free games the user wants, it's unwise.
Question, when do the August perks come out? It's halfway through the month and it's still on July perks. Will it be a bimonthly type thing where the next perks will come out in September?

Hello,
I hope I don't sound greedy by asking. But will there be a subscriber perk for the month of August?
