Scabard has just opened Content Exchange for sharing log entries between users:

Scabard just introduced a graph viewer that allows exploring log entries using an animated vector image that shows log nodes and connections between them. This could be useful for fuzzy searches when you are not quite sure what you are looking for.

Spoiler: This image is too big for its own good.

Scabard is considering an interesting idea: automatic proper name recognition.

After saving a page, Scabard would scan your description and secrets sections for proper names for which there are no pages in your campaign. It would then ask if you want to create pages for what it finds.

This would make on-boarding easier for new users who have large pre-existing campaigns in documents.

Later, I could extend this to make creating connections easier to mentioned pages that have no connections yet.

Something like this could speed up onboarding quite nicely!

Scabard is planning to add a small but neat feature to the campaign user interface: a Discord integration to help VTT play. You can browse the channels straight on the Scabard page:

Scabard have just announced the upcoming Adventure Builder module:

With a special licensing arrangement with S. John, we present the Adventure Builder!

Where these same plots can be used to quickly create RPG adventures. And integrate them into your Scabard campaign or print them out for a binder during play.

These plots help you with fresh premises for adventures, avoiding thematic ruts and seamlessly integrating with your story and world.

Unlike modules, where it mentions places, groups and NPC's that aren't in your world, with the Adventure Builder you tie the adventure to places, groups, and NPC's that are part of your world.

To me it sounds quite like the previously discussed log and generator integration.
