Overview: Posting Goals & Activity Rating โญ
Posting Goals
Game Masters can now set up a pace for their campaigns. A campaign pace determines how many messages a day each user in the campaign should send.
Fast โ at least ten messages a day per user
Medium โ at least four messages a day per user
Slow โ at least one message a day per user
No Pace
If a user doesnโt hit the posting goal of 1/4/10 messages day, we send nudge notifications at 4 PM and 8 PM to hit the goal.
Activity Rating
Suppose users donโt hit their posting goals regularly, their activity rating decreases. It increases again when they start accomplishing the posting goalsโthe app weights in mainly on a recent period. In case your rating is bad, it shouldnโt be that hard to get it back again.
Overview: Notes ๐
Both Game Masters and Players will be able to write notes in-campaign. You can use them to save info about a campaign or a character.
Notes donโt work cross-campaign. Each campaign has its unique notebook for each player and a Game Master.
Overview: Custom Rolls
Game Masters can now let players roll any number of dice and even combine them. You can use it for damage rolls, custom mechanics, or anything else.
Bugs & Performance
Youโll probably encounter bugs and crashes. Let us know about them at info@fireballrpg.com or in our Discord. We will try to eliminate them (with fire & coffee) as soon as possible. ๐
