Freedom to Choose

We have always believed you should have the ability to choose a digital tool like Shard and the content you love for your game independently. That’s why we focused hard on making it ease for you to create everything from maps to character classes in Shard. It’s also the reason we’ve worked hard to embrace a wide variety of publishers that produce content for 5th edition games.

Export has arrived

For all the creators among us, export has arrived. You can now create whole books in Shard and export them for use elsewhere or as a means of backing things up.

Export produces an HTML rendering of the book as it appears in Shard with all the inline content (images, monster stat blocks, spells, etc.). That rendering can then be either downloaded or printed.

Fun with Items

Our latest release include a series of changes around items and equipment. The changes include:

1. Shopping. Buying and selling equipment made simple, including the construction of shops.

2. Containers. That backpack, chest, or wagon can now have a list of items it contains.

3. Encumbrance. Shard now calculates your character’s carry capacity and displays their encumbrance level.

4. Managing Quantities. Twelve Daggers are now displayed in one row instead of 12.

5. Mysterious Treasure. The properties and descriptions of items can now be masked until they are identified.

6. Custom Currencies. Silver and Gold aren’t always right in every setting.

Shard Powers Activate

Agonizing Blast, Bardic Inspiration, and Sneak Attack

These features and 100s more now have built in automation to making playing the game on Shard easier than ever.

Today, we released a major update to the character sheet, chat, and the die roller. A new block on character consolidates actions, bonus actions, reactions, free actions, and features that modify or enhance other actions. It also incorporates active spell effects and conditions, both of which provide additional options or modify existing ones.
