📣 What's new

👤 For: Everyone · 🔄 Updated 2026-10-18

The big changes to Wovenkeep, newest first. Updates never land mid-session — once your table is empty, a banner offers Install now (about a minute's pause) or Postpone (1, 3, or 7 days); security fixes still go out within 24 hours regardless. Set your regular game nights in Settings so Wovenkeep knows when to stay out of your way. → Instance settings

2026-10-18 — Core rules at a glance, read-aloud text on the TV only when you want it, and signing out everywhere

📜 Core rules & DC table — a cheat sheet in the rulebook with the rules you need most at the table (Initiative, saving throws, Advantage and Disadvantage, Death Saving Throws, rests …) and the typical Difficulty Classes from 5 to 30. Also reachable from the search and the help menu. → SRD Rulebook
📺 Read-aloud text on the TV only when you want it — pushed scenes show just the image and title on the TV by default; tick Also show text on the TV to add the text, for a letter or an inscription. On phones it starts collapsed behind 📖 Read the text. → Scene push
❓ Help menu in the GM tool — guides, glossary, core rules and a keyboard-shortcut overview in one place.
🔒 Signing out signs you out everywhere — signing out on app.wovenkeep.com or changing your password there also signs you out of the GM tool on every device. If a live session is running, the page asks first. → Tour of your realm
🔑 Player accounts can change their password — right on the account page.
✉️ Invites name the campaign and the GM; if an invite link expires before the planned session, the scheduler tells you.
⚔️ The encounter calculator updates live as you add monsters.

2026-10-17 — Deleted campaigns wait in the trash, weights in kilograms, and a complete data export

🗑️ Deleted campaigns go to the trash — for 30 days, with everything in them. ↩️ Restore brings a campaign back, ✕ Delete permanently removes it at once; after 30 days it is deleted for good. Campaigns in the trash don't count toward your plan's campaign limit. → The trash
💾 Whole campaigns as a file — Export JSON and Save as file first now save the complete campaign, without your players' links and join codes; a duplicate keeps the cover image. → GM Dashboard

✅ A wrap-up that never overwrites — a live session belongs only to a planned session; without one, the wrap-up saves a new session. An empty recap field never deletes a recap, and the session card shows when a session was played and for how long. → Running a live session, Sessions
⚖️ Kilograms — in German, French and Spanish, weights are shown and entered in kg (1 lb = 0.5 kg); English stays with lb. → Items & inventory
🙈 Hide AI features, everywhere — now also in the Rulebook's picture choice, the document import, loot pictures, the invite page and the character wizard. The bubble stays, as a ❓ with the tour and the checklist. → Hide AI features
🎭 Your GM name — a new field in Edit campaign; without a name, players and the TV see Game Master in their own language. → GM Dashboard
🧙 Subclasses from SRD 5.2.1 — the GM form and the invite page offer only SRD 5.2.1 subclasses, and spell descriptions in the character wizard follow the player's language. → Character creation
More fixes — a planned world event asks before Tantu's continuation costs Threads, and planned news can go out as a handout; the TV keeps names readable and shows clocks top left; the session log, the print pack and the included sounds speak your language; renaming a player saves when you leave the field and says why a name is refused; 💾 Storage works without an open campaign; dates and times in the trash, the chronicle and on handouts show your local time; and the interface uses the same terms throughout. → World events, TV view

2026-10-17 — Storage inside Media, a wrap-up after each session, XP at the table, and AI you can hide

📦 Storage is part of Media — 💾 Storage opens the Media page on the new shelf 📦 Everything by size: every file largest first, where it is used, Unused only, a trash line below the storage bar and 🧹 Clean up for missing and loose files. The campaign cover now counts under Used in. → Storage & files
✅ Wrap up the session — a live session belongs to a session from your plan; ending it opens ✅ Wrap up session, where you mark it as played and save the recap. Player phones now show that the session has ended, and after a reload Continue ⚔️ takes players back in. → Running a live session
📜 Recaps of what was played — Tantu only summarizes evenings that were played, in the language of your GM tool; with nothing played, there is no suggestion and no charge. The button is in the session editor too. → Session recap

🪤 Traps and puzzles with their own fields — combat fields appear only for fights, and the print pack prints stat blocks in your language. → Encounters, Print Pack
Safer prep — a scene changed in another window asks before it is overwritten; scene titles are required; acts, chapters and clues go to the trash; chapters move between acts; deleting a campaign offers to save it as a file first. → Scenes (prep), GM Dashboard
🙈 Hide AI features — one checkbox in ⚙️ Tantu Settings hides the AI help for your whole Realm; nothing is deleted. → Hide AI features
⚡ World events and data export — the continuation by Tantu shows its price, discarding a planned event asks first, and the data export now contains your campaign and world data. → World events, GDPR & Data Export

2026-10-16 — Handout library, acts and chapters, your own random tables, and a world that remembers

🗂️ Choose from media, everywhere — one dialog picks the pictures and sounds for scenes, encounters, NPC portraits, locations, handouts, the campaign cover and the live cards: This campaign or All campaigns, a search, ⬆️ Upload (also by dragging a file onto the dialog) and ✕ Remove.

The old standalone monster creator page is gone — monsters are created under Create → 🐉 Monsters. → Suggestions

2026-10-15 — A new Media page, a trash for media, and sounds from your own words

🗂️ The Media page, rebuilt — shelves for Images, Portraits, Sounds and Music, the buttons This campaign, All campaigns and Without campaign, and a search by name. Every card shows where it comes from (Uploaded, Created by Tantu, Included), date, size and Used in: … — now also for scenes that use an included soundscape. → Media
🔊 Play at the table — during a running session, play any sound from the Media page for all players or just a few. → Media
✨ Create with Tantu — describe a sound and get an Effect (about 4 seconds) or a Background sound (about 22 seconds, loops), for 1 Thread. Any language works: Tantu turns every sound description into an English prompt first — also for 🎙️ Sound by Tantu in scenes and encounters. → Media

2026-10-14 — Sound on the TV, signing out everywhere, and characters to keep

🔊 Sound on the TV — set 📺 Sound via: to TV, and the TV plays the table's ambience and sound effects instead of the player phones. → TV view
📺 Pair a TV with a 4-digit code — open <your address>/tv on the TV and type the code it shows into 📺 Connect TV. The TV is remembered: next time it joins your session by itself or waits for the next one. → TV view
Cut-in sounds on the TV — with 📺 Sound via: set to TV, the sounds of cut-ins, such as a critical hit, now play on the TV instead of the phones; the TV asks for a key press for sound only in that mode. → TV view
One sound list for scenes — Prepare New Scene and Edit Scene offer soundscapes, your own sounds and AI sounds in one list, with an upload right there; your choice is saved as soon as you create the scene.

October 2026 — scheduling, a TV screen, and updates that wait for you

Session scheduling — players see the next session on their phone with an add-to-calendar file, can RSVP, and the GM sees at a glance whether enough players have confirmed for the session to go ahead (plus an optional Discord reminder beforehand). A plain-text share link makes inviting easy even without Discord. → Sessions

For Game Masters

🗳️ Date poll — not sure when to play? Suggest 2 to 5 dates, your players vote on their phones, and you pick the date with one click. → Sessions
➕ Invite new players to a session — right from the session or its calendar card: as a link, by message or as a QR code at the table. → Sessions
📺 TV view — connect a shared screen (TV, tablet on a stand) from the Live view with a QR code; it shows the current scene full-screen with cut-ins, plus initiative and clocks you choose to show.
🎲 Hidden GM rolls — keep a roll GM-only; the result never reaches the players.
🧮 Combat tracker upgrades — set any of the 15 SRD conditions on a combatant, see Armor Class and a mini stat block per fighter, and initiative order now survives a round change instead of resetting.
🗒️ NPC stat blocks — give an NPC real stats, from an SRD template or by hand, right in the NPC dialog. → NPCs
💬 NPC quick lines — send a line of NPC dialogue without AI: save reusable text snippets per NPC and resend the last one with one click.

⭐ Stars & wishes — collect quick after-session feedback from your table.
🙈 Mark a player absent — their character stays out of combat without removing them from the campaign.
Effects without a chosen target are now GM-only by default, with a per-effect switch to reveal them to everyone.

For players

🎲 Advantage and disadvantage on your own rolls — for attacks, saves and checks, with app dice or your own; the higher (or lower) d20 counts automatically. → Death saves & rolls
At-a-glance combat tab, plus a search box across your whole character sheet. → Player HUD
A short "what is this?" explainer appears the first time you open the player view.
Roll requests now name the actual skill or ability instead of a generic "roll".

Rules & content

SRD rules, monsters, spells, and tables now in German, French, and Spanish — names and descriptions, not just the surrounding menus. → SRD Rulebook · Random Tables
Compendium illustrations are clearly marked as AI-made, with a credits line, and variant pickers no longer show technical IDs.
HP and Armor Class are now calculated for you from SRD 5.2.1 rules (class, Constitution, armor), with manual overrides still available.
Race and class portraits now show in portrait orientation, with a magnifier for the full view.
Beginner character wizard: new steps for skills, spells, and SRD backgrounds, plus a one-click "starting equipment" shortcut.
The Rulebook browser now hides older SRD 5.1 duplicate entries by default (toggle All editions to see them).
Discord messages can now post in whichever language you choose, independent of your GM language.

Account & platform

Sign out of all your devices at once from the dashboard, if a session or device ever worries you.
One-time GM login link from your dashboard — hand off a GM session without sharing your password.
Dashboard, pricing, and error messages are now fully translated in all four languages.
Fixed: when AI help isn't available, you now see a clear notice instead of placeholder text standing in for a real answer.
Fixed a few billing edge cases around subscription changes and failed first payments that could leave a plan unclear.

September 2026 — a quiet month behind the scenes

Most of September went into server and dependency maintenance you won't see. One visible fix:

The layer description under Worlds now collapses on small screens instead of pushing everything else down.

August 2026 — a queue instead of "sorry, full"

Fair waiting queue: if Wovenkeep is at capacity when you sign up, you now join a queue and get your Realm as soon as a slot frees up, instead of being turned away.
Password reset links now last 24 hours (up from 1 hour).
Changing your GM password now always takes effect immediately.

July 2026 (continued) — campaign documents, AI art for the compendium, and a new icon

Upload campaign documents (PDF, text, or Markdown) — Tantu can draw on them as background for Story Coach and the "Ask Tantu" story helpers. → Story Coach
Rolling campaign memory — Wovenkeep keeps an auto-updated, GM-editable chronicle of what happened and feeds it to Tantu as context.
AI-made art for the compendium — monsters, spells, and classes can get a Tantu-generated illustration, picked from a variant gallery. → SRD Rulebook
NPC portraits now follow the NPC's mood automatically when Tantu suggests one.
New favicon and app icon.
Dictation improvements — the microphone now matches your interface language (French, Spanish included) and falls back to server-side transcription in browsers without built-in speech recognition.
Rulebook entries show readable text instead of raw data for creature traits.
Images and sounds you already paid for now survive deleting the campaign they were made in.
Fixed: levelling up a character now actually raises their HP.
Fixed: the Live view was hiding scenes that should have been visible.

2026-07-06 — Simpler pricing: every plan can do everything

No more feature gates. Every feature — Push, Whisper, Sounds, Handouts, Print export, Story Web, Cut-Ins, Tension Arc, Foreshadowing — works on every plan, including the free Adventurer plan.
Plans differ only in monthly Threads, campaigns (free plan: 1), player seats, storage, and support. → Pricing
Threads never expire — monthly plan Threads, bought bundles, and earned Threads all stay in your balance until you spend them.
See the cost before you click: every AI button shows a Thread cost badge, a confirm dialog shows cost + balance before anything is spent, and a live Threads chip sits in the topbar. → Threads & costs
Own AI key = free text actions: bring your own key and AI text actions cost 0 Threads (image and sound still cost Threads). (Today: images are free with your own Google Gemini key; sound still costs Threads.)

June 2026 — the player's turn

A wave of player-facing features landed, plus deeper world-building for GMs.
