Build 36 · 27 Oct 2026

Book blurbs cleaned up, and catching up after a skip is now detected automatically

Went through every one of the 30 tracked books' one-line descriptions and rewrote the handful that had turned into internal shorthand ("moved up," "MOVED," "read HERE" in caps) instead of something a reader could actually use. The Sunlit Man's note now explains the real, still-disputed placement question instead of flatly asserting one side. The Fires of December's entry no longer claims Hoid's Travails is a numbered series (Sanderson has said the opposite — read them in any order) and now carries its real page count and December 2026 release date. Separately: the "Catch up" flag used to only appear on the handful of books pre-marked as easy to accidentally skip. It's now computed live from your own reading position instead — any unread book sitting earlier in your current order than the furthest one you've read or starred gets flagged and a short note added, whichever book it happens to be, not just the pre-flagged ones.

Build 35 · 24 Oct 2026

Footer trimmed to match the rest of the site

The in-app footer's long build-by-build paragraph became a plain "Last updated [date]" line with a link here, as part of the site-wide jargon cleanup (see the main site's Build 49 entry).

Build 34 · 24 Oct 2026

Added "Captured in Words' order" reading-order preset

An 8th reading-order preset, sourced from that YouTube channel's Cosmere reading-order video and named after its creator to keep it distinct from the Brisk order added in Build 33. Reads The Sunlit Man before Wind and Truth (Sanderson's own 2023 stated intent) and saves Wind and Truth for last, after the Secret Projects; the preset's description flags that the Sunlit Man/Wind and Truth placement is genuinely disputed post-publication, not settled.

Build 33 · 24 Oct 2026

Added "World-blocked (Brisk)" reading-order preset

A 7th reading-order preset, sourced from Noah Brisk's Cosmere reading-order carousel — a world-blocked structure similar to the Mistborn order, with its own placement for the White Sand prose excerpt and Allomancer Jak.

Build 32 · 15 Oct 2026

Theme and Palette choices now sync across devices

Under the same sync code, with the same choice following you into the Encounter Tracker, Wayfinder, and the main site.

Build 31 · Oct 2026

Miral added to the star map

A blood-crimson world sitting 20° from Nalthis and Threnody, the widest gap left on the wheel.

Builds 28–30 · Sep–Oct 2026

Incremental polish

Detailed build-by-build notes aren't recorded here yet.

Build 27 · 18 Sep 2026

Book covers enlarged again, rows given real spacing

Row-list covers grew from 42×62 to 60×90, and the Currently Reading cover from 72×108 to 100×150. Each row now sits in its own card with proper padding and a visible gap between rows instead of a 1px hairline, so covers no longer read as crowded or overlapping at the larger size.

Build 26 · 17 Sep 2026

Lorcana added to the site-wide navigation strip

The cross-site nav strip now includes a link to the new Lorcana Packs tool, alongside Magic and Pokémon.

Build 25 · 17 Sep 2026

Small compass-mark accent added next to the title

A tiny Cosmere-themed compass/diamond glyph now sits beside the page title, using a custom icon font instead of an image.

Build 24 · 17 Sep 2026

Fonts now self-hosted

Stopped loading Spectral and IBM Plex live from Google Fonts. Headings now use Trirong and body text uses Source Sans 3, both embedded directly — matching how the rest of the site already handles fonts. Monospace numbers fall back to the system's own monospace font.

Build 24 · 17 Sep 2026

Theme toggle now properly overrides an active color palette

Switching Auto/Light/Dark while a palette was selected used to do nothing — the palette's colors were set as inline styles, which always beat the theme's CSS rules. Clicking Theme now clears any active palette first, then applies the chosen theme.

Build 22–23 · 17 Sep 2026

Site color palette and Auto/Light/Dark theme added

The same 10 Radiant-Order color palettes from the Encounter Tracker, plus a proper Auto/Light/Dark toggle. Book titles get a subtle accent-tinted color rather than the raw accent.

Build 20–21 · 17 Sep 2026

Arcanum Unbounded covers and book descriptions

Cover art added for all five Arcanum Unbounded stories, and a short, spoiler-safe description added to every one of the 30 tracked entries.

Build 19 · 17 Sep 2026

Star-map teaser fixed

The small "worlds visited" widget now shows all planet names without overlap; a missing closing tag from an earlier merge that had been quietly shrinking the big star map was also found and fixed.

Build 18 · 17 Sep 2026

Page/Chapter progress fields fixed

Both fields now stay live and in sync no matter which one you last used, instead of only the active mode's field working.

Build 16–17 · 17 Sep 2026

Footer cleanup and cross-site navigation

The footer's build note was trimmed down to a single line linking here; a navigation strip was added reaching every other tool and apex page.

Build 15 · 17 Sep 2026

Arcanum Unbounded split into its five stories

The five short pieces from the anthology are now tracked individually, each placed by its own spoiler risk instead of lumped into one entry.

Build 14 · 17 Sep 2026

RPG tab pulled up to a conceptual level

Stopped duplicating player-facing mechanics; now explains the Plot Die, the three resource pools, and Heroic Path progression at a high level. Star map re-spaced to fix overlapping planet labels.

Build 13 · 17 Sep 2026

Product line refreshed

Corrected release dates, added a Warbreaker (Nalthis) entry, and linked each setting straight to its books in the Reading tab.

Build 12 · 17 Sep 2026

Star map colors fixed

Several worlds were rendering in nearly identical colors; each now has its own hue and surface texture.

Build 11 · 17 Sep 2026

Worlds & Magic tab redesigned

Added a star map, passport-style visited stamps, and a personalized reading "voyage" path.

Build 8–10 · 16 Sep 2026

Reading tools deepened

Chapter/page sync, reading history and notes, search, JSON export/import, milestone badges, and pace tracking.

Builds 2–7 · 3–16 Sep 2026

Launch and cover art

Initial launch, reading-order presets, and real cover art wired in across three follow-up uploads.

Codex

Cosmere Codex

codex.greywolfgames.netCurrently Build 2Open the Codex →
Build 2 · 30 Sep 2026

Every entry and search now links out to Coppermind

Steve pointed out that the 17th Shard's own Coppermind wiki already exists and asked about linking to it instead of building the Codex out further. Its "Time Machine" only gates by book/date, not by chapter, and its own guidelines prohibit scraping without permission — so rather than duplicate it or pull from it, the Codex now leans on it: a "Search Coppermind" link sits next to the Codex's own search box (carrying over whatever you typed), a no-results message offers the same search, and every article ends with a "Read the full entry on Coppermind" link. All three just send your browser to Coppermind's own search — nothing is fetched or embedded.

Build 1 · 26 Sep 2026

Launched

A spoiler-gated wiki of Cosmere characters, magic systems, organizations and locations. Each entry's sections are tagged to the book and chapter where that fact is revealed and stay behind a one-tap cover until you reach that point — link your Ars Arcana sync code to gate it to your own reading position automatically, or switch to GM mode to see everything. Added to the Cosmere hub, the Tools catalog, and the other three Cosmere tools' Related Tools sections.

Wayfinder

Cosmere Wayfinder

wayfinder.greywolfgames.netCurrently Build 47Open Wayfinder →
Build 47 · 15 Oct 2026

Theme and Palette choices now sync across devices

Under the same sync code, with the same choice following you into the Encounter Tracker, Ars Arcana, and the main site.

Build 46 · 17 Sep 2026

Lorcana added to the site-wide navigation strip

The cross-site nav strip now includes a link to the new Lorcana Packs tool, alongside Magic and Pokémon.

Build 45 · 17 Sep 2026

Small compass-mark accent added to the brand badge

The round badge next to the title now shows a tiny Cosmere-themed compass/diamond glyph instead of sitting empty.

Build 44 · 17 Sep 2026

Fonts now self-hosted

Stopped loading Fraunces, IBM Plex Sans, and JetBrains Mono live from Google Fonts. Headings now use Trirong and body text uses Source Sans 3, both embedded directly. Monospace numbers fall back to the system's own monospace font.

Build 43 · 17 Sep 2026

Theme toggle now properly overrides an active color palette

Switching Auto/Light/Dark while a palette was selected used to do nothing, for the same reason as Ars Arcana above. Clicking Theme now clears any active palette first.

Build 42 · 17 Sep 2026

Site color palette and Auto/Light/Dark theme added

A new "Site palette" row and Appearance toggle in Settings, above the existing location-skin picker (relabeled to avoid confusion between the two).

Build 41 · 16 Sep 2026

Guided build wizard, Radiant level gate, moved domains

Character creation now walks Back/Next through Origins, Attributes, Path, Radiant, Equipment, Finishing and the Sheet as one flow. A character can only go Radiant at level 2+ (Speaking the First Ideal), enforced automatically. Per-skill rank caps now match the level-based budget from the Advancement table. Moved from cosmere.greywolfgames.net to its own address, wayfinder.greywolfgames.net, and fixed a "Cosmere tools" link that pointed back at itself.

4 Sep 2026

Wayfinder learns a second world

Scadrial added alongside Roshar — Allomancy, Feruchemy, the Metalborn paths and Hemalurgy, plus equipment you can actually pick up and armour that sets your Deflect. Twelve official pregenerated characters checked the maths, and caught two formulas that had been wrong on Roshar too.

Build 5 and earlier

Roshar character creation launched

Core build-and-play workspace. Detailed notes from builds 6–40 aren't recorded here yet, aside from the Scadrial addition above.

Tracker

Encounter Tracker

combat.greywolfgames.netCurrently Build 39Open Encounter Tracker →
Build 39 · 18 Oct 2026

Guided tour's demo fight fixed to the right step

The tour's example fight (Kaladin/Shallan/Dalinar vs. two Axehounds) was injecting itself one step too early, so "Start the encounter" already showed the End encounter button instead of Start encounter, contradicting its own instructions. The demo fight now auto-populates one step later, right as the tour leaves "Start the encounter" and arrives at the phase-bar step, so that step correctly shows the real, untouched Start encounter button.

Build 38 · 18 Oct 2026

Guided tour gained a live demo fight and two new steps

A temporary example fight now auto-populates when the tour reaches "Start the encounter," so later steps (phase bar, Next phase, roster split) have something real to point at, clearing itself the instant the tour ends. Two new steps also open the real Opportunity/Complication and Conditions modals. Tour is now 16 steps total.

Build 37 · 18 Oct 2026

Guided tour now covers the Party/Adversaries roster split

A 14th tour step walks through the "Mark damage here" flag and dormant auto-collapse right after the Start-encounter/phase-bar steps.

Build 36 · 17 Oct 2026

Party/Adversaries columns now reorder by phase

Once an encounter is active, whichever side needs damage marked (the side not currently acting) comes first, and the acting side's off-phase combatants sink to the bottom of their column and auto-collapse.

Build 35 · 17 Oct 2026

Roster split into Party and Adversaries columns

Side by side on wider screens, with a name search box, jump buttons, and auto-collapsed defeated/already-acted cards to cut down on in-combat scrolling.

Builds 33–34 · 17 Oct 2026

Lorcana nav link and 26 Mistborn Legacy adversaries

Added the Lorcana Packs link to the cross-site nav bar, and all 26 new adversaries from the Mistborn Legacy adventure's Appendix A to the Adversary Library.

Builds 9–32 · Sep–Oct 2026

Guided tour engine added, turn-order refinements

Detailed build-by-build notes aren't recorded here yet.

Build 8 · 15 Sep 2026

Full Mistborn stat blocks

Added alongside the existing Stormlight content.

2 Sep 2026

Goes cross-device

Start an encounter on a laptop, finish it on a phone. One random code, no account, newest write wins and a stale device is told so rather than allowed to overwrite the table.

Earlier builds

Turn order

Focus, Investiture and condition tracking, plot die. Detailed build-by-build notes aren't recorded here yet.

Build 66 · 29 Oct 2026

Nexus: a fan-made first-timer’s guide

The new Nexus first-timer’s guide page summarizes the fan-made “Tailored Experiences” guide by the r/DragonsteelNexus mods, the Sanderson Collectors’ Guild and WorldSwappers (not official), with links into the Nexus app’s Guide tab for the full text and packing checklists. It is linked from the Cosmere hub and the Nexus page.

Build 65 · 29 Oct 2026

News: headlines for the games we play

The new News page collects headlines for the Cosmere, Paizo and Organized Play, D&D and other tabletop RPGs, Magic, Pokémon, Lorcana and Foundry VTT, each linking to the original story, plus upcoming events at Level Up Games Dawsonville. App and game pages now show the latest news for their game, and News is in the top bar and footer.

Build 64 · 29 Oct 2026

A new home page, and every page now lives under its hub

The home page opens with the featured project, then the four hubs, Cosmere, Card Games, Tabletop and Organized Play, then the latest updates. App and game pages moved under their hub, for example The Table is now at /play/table/. Old addresses, bookmarks and printed QR codes still work and lead to the new ones. All apps is still the A–Z list.

Build 63 · 29 Oct 2026

Hub pages for Card Games, Tabletop and Organized Play, and a refreshed Cosmere hub

Three new hub pages, Card Games, Tabletop and Organized Play, and a refreshed Cosmere hub. Each has its apps and pages as cards with Open and Details buttons, the latest updates for that hub taken from this page, and links to the other hubs. The top bar now points at the hubs. Every existing page and address still works.

Build 62 · 29 Oct 2026

New top bar and header, and a featured spot that follows the convention calendar

Every page now opens with the shared greywolfgames.net bar (the same one Nexus uses, now with the crest instead of an emoji) and a new header with search, the colour theme and palette, and an “Open an app” menu. The bar’s sections point at the current pages for now: Cosmere, Card Games and Tabletop (sections on this home page), Organized Play (The Table), News (this page) and Studio (About). The home page gains a featured spot that follows a small events calendar: from two weeks before a convention it features that event with a countdown, shows “Happening now” while it runs, and goes back to the featured project afterwards. Dragonsteel Nexus 2026 (December 3–5, Salt Palace, Salt Lake City) is the first event. Everything else is unchanged.

Build 61 · 29 Oct 2026

New site icon

The browser-tab icon, home-screen icon and app icons now use the refined Grey Wolf crest: a sharper wolf in the copper-and-silver shield on charcoal. Added a web manifest so Android and other devices pick up the right icon. No page content changed.

Build 60 · 29 Oct 2026

Nexus added: a companion app for Dragonsteel Nexus 2026

Nexus, the convention companion for Dragonsteel Nexus 2026, now has its own card on the Cosmere suite page (now “The six tools”), an entry in the Tools catalog, a new landing page at /tools/nexus/, and a card under Related tools on the Wayfinder, Encounter Tracker, Ars Arcana and Codex pages. The homepage’s Cosmere suite card now counts five tools and names the Codex, which it had missed. Nexus itself now carries the same greywolfgames.net bar across the top as the other apps, so it links back to the rest of the site.

Build 59 · 27 Oct 2026

Ars Arcana changelog entries caught up

Added the Ars Arcana Build 35 and 36 entries (footer jargon trim, then cleaner book blurbs and automatic catch-up detection — see the Ars Arcana section below) and fixed its "Currently Build" marker, which had drifted to 34.

Build 58 · 26 Oct 2026

Stout now credited for Plotweaver RPG too

Stout has quietly been carrying both the Cosmere RPG table and Plotweaver RPG playtesting, but the Foundry page only ever said "Cosmere." Updated the Stout card's kicker and description, the "sitting down" step list, and the older-Foundry-release note in Section III to name both systems. Also caught and fixed a stale meta description on the Foundry page that still said "Three Foundry VTT servers" from before Porter was added in Build 57.

Build 57 · 26 Oct 2026

Porter added as a fourth Foundry tap

Steve now has a fourth self-hosted Foundry server, Porter, alongside Guinness (Pathfinder), Harp (Starfinder), and Stout (Cosmere) — a general-purpose table for whatever isn’t one of those three systems (RuneQuest, Call of Cthulhu, Ember, and anything else that comes up), rather than being locked to one system or world the way the other three are. Confirmed porter.greywolfgames.net resolves and redirects to /join the same way the other three servers do before linking it anywhere. The Foundry page's hero and copy now read "Four taps" throughout, with a new Porter card using the site's existing-but-previously-unused amber "keg" accent color (distinct from the three system-specific colors, since Porter isn’t tied to one system) — the same accent Society's own card linking to the Foundry page already used. Updated the two other pages that named the server list by hand (Society's "Foundry tables" card, a note on The Table page) to match.

Build 56 · 25 Oct 2026

Fixed: topbar hidden under the status bar on notched phones

Steve reported that on his phone, the Palette and Theme buttons — really the whole topbar — were covered by the iOS status bar and Dynamic Island when a page loaded at the top. Root cause: the site's viewport meta tag already uses viewport-fit=cover for a true edge-to-edge look (needed for the full-bleed hero banners), but the sticky topbar had no top padding to match, so on a phone with a notch or Dynamic Island, the topbar rendered starting at the literal top edge of the screen — directly under the status bar overlay, where its buttons couldn't be seen or tapped. New hero banners with bolder art (see Build 55) made this far more obvious than the previous plainer ones, but the bug itself predates this build and affected all 23 pages. Fixed sitewide: the topbar now gets padding-top:env(safe-area-inset-top), which pushes its content below the safe area on a notched device and does nothing on every other screen (the value is 0 there). Verified the change is syntactically identical across all 23 pages before shipping; a real device check (not just the emulator) is still the only way to fully confirm notch behavior, so worth Steve's own look once this is live.

Build 55 · 25 Oct 2026

Real Society/Starfinder iconic art, faction emblems, a region map, and working pregen links

Steve pointed at Paizo's Community Use/Fan Content asset page and asked for design ideas; he picked three to build: real pregenerated-character links, Iconic character art on the organized-play hero banners, and faction symbols/a map as accents. Paizo's own download page requires an account sign-in, so a research pass found non-gated alternates and every URL below was independently checked (not just taken on the first source's word) before use. The Society and Table pages now have custom hero banners — Valeros (Pathfinder) and Obozaya (Starfinder), both official art pulled from PathfinderWiki/StarfinderWiki's ungated image files, composited onto a new accent-glow background matching each page's existing red/teal palette, replacing the previous generic painted-fantasy banners as a deliberate, scoped exception to the "keep the variety" hero-imagery policy from Build 53. The Society page's Factions section gained a row of six faction emblem badges (five real, pulled from PathfinderWiki's faction pages; Verdant Wheel has no emblem uploaded there yet, so it shows a plain placeholder rather than a broken image). The Resources page's "Settings & lore" group gained a cropped, labeled strip of the official Inner Sea region map, linking to the full map on PathfinderWiki. And the two places that referenced free pregenerated characters without a working link (Society's "table kit" list, Table's "turn up without a character" section) now link straight to Paizo's own direct-download ZIPs — all 16 Pathfinder iconics at levels 1/3/5, and all 6 Starfinder iconics at levels 1/3/5/7 — no account needed, confirmed live before shipping.

Build 54 · 25 Oct 2026

More Resources additions: adventures, settings, and fan homebrew

Steve pasted a second curated PF2e resource list and asked whether it was already on the site. Of 28 links checked, six were already there; the rest split into real additions and deep sub-pages of sites already linked at the top level. Added: a new "Character options reference" group (Ancestries/Backgrounds/Classes/Feats on PF2eTools, plus the separate Pathfinder 2 Easy Tree tool); a new "Adventures" group (The Indigo Oasis by T. Elliot Cannon, Paizo's own Tournament & Legacy demo adventure, and the Free RPG Day publications archive); a new "Settings & lore" group (Golarion, Avistan, the Inner Sea region, Absalom, and Deities, all from PathfinderWiki); and Dyson's Map Archives added to the existing GM tools group. Also added a new, visually distinct "Fan homebrew" group (amber accent, explicitly labeled "unofficial, not affiliated with Paizo" and tagged on every card) for one-person homebrew content from Tyler_Zoro's "Tyler's Adventures" page — an adventure path, an ancestry writeup, an early setting draft, his general homebrew hub, and GMBinder. Two links from the pasted list were dropped: a PathfinderWiki history portal page and a Tyler's Adventures settings page both 404 on the live site (confirmed via direct fetch, not just curl); a Pathfinder Infinite free-content search URL couldn't be confirmed reachable through any check (curl 403, a real browser timeout, an empty response from the fetch tool) and was left out rather than risk a bad link.

Build 53 · 25 Oct 2026

A real mobile nav, after a visual audit

A full screenshot audit of layout and theme (color/accent system, typography & spacing, hero imagery, mobile/responsive) found the color system, typography, and spacing all solid — one shared stylesheet, nothing to fix. It also found the main nav had no small-screen treatment at all: at phone width the fourteen-link bar silently overflowed with no visible cue (no fade, no arrow, no hamburger), cutting off mid-word with no hint that Spear, Magic, Pokémon, Lorcana, Minis, or About existed off-screen. Fixed with a real collapsed menu: a hamburger button appears below 760px, opening a full dropdown with the same six priority groups and dividers as the desktop nav, closing on an outside click, Escape, or picking a link. Desktop is untouched — the hamburger button only renders below the breakpoint. The audit's other finding, that hero banner photos across the thirteen hub pages mix four different photographic styles (painted fantasy art, card art, real object photography, and a software screenshot), was a deliberate call, not a bug: Steve chose to keep the variety, since each hero fits its own hobby.

Build 52 · 25 Oct 2026

Dead links fixed, a new Resources section added

Steve hit 404s on The Table page: the Pathfinder and Starfinder Society Guide links were pointing at old Lorespire fragment anchors that no longer resolve, now fixed to the current tiki-index.php?page=pfs2guide/sfs2guide URLs; the "Pathfinder Provisions" card, which linked to a page Paizo has since removed, was dropped. Separately, the Resources page gained a new "More tools worth knowing about" section, grouped into Pathfinder/Starfinder rules and reference, character builders and trackers, encounter and GM tools, Foundry VTT, and Cosmere extras — 27 community tools and sites in all, drawn from Steve's own bookmarks (Pathfinder Dashboard V2, PF2 Tools, BYBE's GM tools, the munsie.ca PFS/SFS character builders, Unofficial Paizo Guides, PathfinderWiki, pathfinder2e.org, the Appalachian OP Regional Hub, Foundry Hub, Tabletop Audio, the pf2e system's own Foundry wiki guides, DriveThruRPG's Cosmere storefront, and Cremling Fight Club) plus a follow-up list he sent of PF2e references and software (PF2eTools, Pathbuilder 2e, Wanderer's Guide, Pathfinder 2 Easy Library, RPGBot, the maxiride PF2e Encounter Builder, Mimic Fight Club, and Eurolog PF2 Tools), each checked against what the site already links elsewhere to avoid duplicates.

Build 51 · 25 Oct 2026

Nav regrouped by priority, organized-play pages deduplicated

The top and footer nav are no longer one flat list of fourteen links — they are grouped (Cosmere & Plotweaver; Society, The Table, Calendar & Foundry; Tools & Resources; Spear; Magic, Pokémon, Lorcana & Minis; About) with a quiet divider between groups, in that order of priority. Several facts that used to be told three or four times across Society, The Table, Calendar, Foundry and Resources now live in one place with a link from the others: the convention list lives on the Calendar page, Foundry's access steps live on the Foundry page, and the pregenerated-character explanation lives on the Society page.

Build 50 · 25 Oct 2026

Trademark footer and a copy fix

The footer's trademark line now covers Disney Lorcana and Warhammer Age of Sigmar as well — it had only been updated on the Lorcana Packs page itself when that one shipped, so every other page was still missing it. The Cosmere suite page's header no longer says "Five tools" over four app cards and a guide; it now says what's actually there. (A fix for Tip of the Spear's hero banner, currently pointing at the Resources page's image, is still pending a real Age of Sigmar photo.)

Build 49 · 24 Oct 2026

Jargon cleanup across the site and the tools

The homepage's "How this all hangs together" note no longer names the internal sync service or talks about "blobs" and "credentials" — it explains the same thing (one copy of your data per sync code, nothing else known about you) in plain terms. The Ars Arcana landing page's "same code system as the other tools" now just says "sync code," matching every other page. The Codex landing page's "reads (never writes)" became "can see your reading position... it only looks, it never changes anything." Each tool's own in-app footer (Encounter Tracker, Ars Arcana, Wayfinder) was trimmed from a long build-by-build changelog paragraph down to a plain "Last updated [date]" line with a link here, so the detail lives in one place instead of being repeated in jargon-heavy form on every page. This page itself also picked up the backlog of entries that detail had been carrying.

Build 48 · 16 Oct 2026

Plotweaver page re-themed, status section rewritten

The Plotweaver page now uses its own purple accent (already defined in the site's palette but never applied) across its hero and cards, instead of the site-wide default green. The "Where it is up to" section was rewritten from a hedged, self-doubting note into a plain status list: the Open Alpha is confirmed live with all three settings now playable — Erstwild, Splinterlight (added September), and Hexbeat (added October) — plus the Earthborne Rangers adaptation, the Infinite setting, and the Setting Search contest, all checked against Brotherwise's own announcements and press coverage.

Build 47 · 16 Oct 2026

Almanac renamed to Tip of the Spear

Steve's Age of Sigmar reference and army-list tool is now called Tip of the Spear. Its page moved from /almanac/ to /spear/, the login now lives at spear.greywolfgames.net (the old almanac.greywolfgames.net domain is retired), and the top navigation, footer, and homepage card were all updated to match. The tool itself was also rebuilt on this pass: its full image library (2,732 files) had dropped out on an earlier deploy and has been re-merged and verified.

Build 46 · 16 Oct 2026

Almanac page fix

Build 45's new /almanac/ page accidentally carried over the Player Resources page's hero banner ("Before you sit down") above its own, a leftover from building the new page off that page's template. Removed the stray hero; the page now shows only its own Age of Sigmar heading and content.

Build 45 · 16 Oct 2026

Almanac added to the site

A new, private page for Steve's Age of Sigmar reference and army-list tool — locked behind a Cloudflare Access login at almanac.greywolfgames.net. Added to the top navigation and footer on every page, a new card on the homepage, and a new landing page at /almanac/ describing what it is and linking through to the login. Not affiliated with Games Workshop; Spearhead Unit Database data used with permission and not re-shared beyond the tool. Sitewide build bumped to 45.

Build 44 · 30 Sep 2026

Coppermind added as a Cosmere reference

A new card for Coppermind, the 17th Shard’s fan-run Cosmere wiki, added to the Cosmere hub's "Where the facts come from" section alongside cosmererpg.com, the Demiplane Nexus, and Dragonsteel Books. Prompted by Steve asking whether the Codex should just link to Coppermind instead of being built out further — the Codex keeps its own one thing Coppermind doesn't do (gating by exact reading position), and now links out to Coppermind everywhere it reasonably can instead of trying to replace it. Sitewide build bumped to 44.

Build 43 · 26 Sep 2026

Cosmere Codex added to the site

A new fifth Cosmere tool — a spoiler-gated wiki of characters, magic systems, organizations and locations, gated to your own reading progress via the same sync code as Ars Arcana. Added as a new card on the Cosmere hub (now "The five tools"), a new entry in the Tools catalog, a new landing page at /tools/cosmere-codex/, and cross-linked from Wayfinder, Ars Arcana, and the Encounter Tracker's own Related Tools sections. The Codex tool itself isn't in the site-wide navigation strip, matching how Wayfinder, Ars Arcana, and the Encounter Tracker are also reached only through the Cosmere hub rather than the top nav. Sitewide build bumped to 43.

Build 42 · 19 Sep 2026

Reference Library switched to boxed link cards, and a convention countdown on Calendar

Two follow-ups to the Reference Library shipped in Build 41. First, Steve asked for “the same type of boxed links we have on the pages already” instead of the compact list style, so all 32 links in that section were rebuilt as the site’s usual kicker/title/description link cards — the same component used for the launch cards on Home, Resources, and Tools. Second, the four conventions already listed on the Table page (Dragon Con, LUG Con, Dice + Diversions, Southern-Fried Gaming Expo) now also appear on the Calendar page, nearest date first, each with a live countdown computed in the visitor’s own browser from today’s date — no hand-typed “days until” number to go stale. Verified with HTML-parse and `node --check`. Sitewide build bumped to 42.

Build 41 · 19 Sep 2026

Reference Library added to The Table

Steve handed over a big batch of organized-play links he hands out regularly: Paizo itself, the Pathfinder and Starfinder Society Guides to Organized Play, two Remaster-specific rules pages, nine social-media accounts (AtlantaPFS and Paizo across Facebook, Twitter, Mastodon, Bluesky, Twitch, and YouTube), nine reference and prep tools (RPG Chronicles, Warhorn, all three Archives of Nethys rules references, Demiplane, PFS Tracker, PFS Prep, and the Los Angeles PFS resource page), five character-builder sites, and three virtual tabletops. Added as a new Reference Library section at the end of The Table page, grouped under the same headings Steve used, in the page’s existing link-card style (matching the “Everything in one place” section higher up). Verified with HTML-parse and `node --check`. Sitewide build bumped to 41.

Build 40 · 19 Sep 2026

Photo hero for the Tools page

Steve sent a warm tabletop flat-lay — a candle, a stack of leather-bound journals, a hand-written campaign notebook open under a pen, scattered dice in half a dozen colors, tarot-style cards, two hex-grid maps with painted miniatures, and a mug of coffee — for the Tools page. Unlike the recent Foundry-screenshot heroes, this one needed no cropping: the whole photo reads as a single warm, inviting scene at any width. Saved as `hero-tools.jpg`, positioned to keep the notebook and dice in frame at typical viewport heights. Tools had never gotten the Build 31 medallion treatment either, so like About this was a direct plain-crest-to-photo conversion; kicker, title ("Tools"), and tagline all carried over unchanged. Verified with HTML-parse and `node --check`, and Playwright screenshots at desktop (1400px) and phone (390px) width. Sitewide build bumped to 40.

Build 39 · 19 Sep 2026

Photo hero for the About page, and a removed note on Resources

Steve sent another Foundry VTT screenshot — this one "The Duchy of Ubersreik" campaign hex map, with an NPC sheet and adventure-summary window open alongside it — and asked to use the bottom part for the About page. The hero crop comes from a clean stretch of the map itself, well clear of those side windows and the taskbar: the duchy's coat of arms and several of its named holdings (Grey Lady Pass, Black Rock, Teufeltal, Widow's Vale, Lady's Vale, Graustadt), with roads and terrain reading clearly at a glance. Saved as `hero-about.jpg`. The About page's crest icon had never gotten the Build 31 ringed-medallion treatment, so this is its first hero upgrade of any kind; kicker, title ("GREYWOLF"), and tagline all carried over unchanged, since the map crop carries no text of its own. Separately, the note on the Resources page about Steve's personal party notes (kept in Drive, citing rulebooks by chapter) is removed — those notes are shared directly with his own table, not posted here. Verified with HTML-parse and `node --check`, and Playwright screenshots at desktop (1400px) and phone (390px) width. Sitewide build bumped to 39.

Build 38 · 19 Sep 2026

Photo hero for the Resources page — the last medallion retired

Steve sent a Foundry VTT screenshot from an actual Stolen Lands hex-crawl session — journal panels, encounter text, and the campaign hex map all on screen at once. Rather than use the busy, text-heavy windows, the hero crop comes from the open stretch of map visible beneath them: plains, a river valley, forest, and hex markers, with none of the on-screen UI text in frame. That became `hero-resources.jpg`. Kicker, title ("Before you sit down"), and tagline all carried over unchanged, since the map crop has no text of its own to collide with. Verified with HTML-parse and `node --check`, and Playwright screenshots at desktop (1400px) and phone (390px) width. Sitewide build bumped to 38. Resources was the last page on the Build 31 ringed medallion — every themed page now has a photo hero.

Build 37 · 19 Sep 2026

Real gameplay screenshot for the Foundry hero

The Foundry page's hero photo is swapped again: out goes the official Foundry Virtual Tabletop marketing banner from Build 33, in comes a screenshot Steve grabbed from an actual session — an icy "Frost Giant Cave" scene with a glowing magic circle, a "Frozen Wraith" character card, scattered dice, and the Combat Tracker sidebar. Cropped to the top of the screenshot to keep the most dramatic part in frame. The marketing banner had "Foundry Virtual Tabletop" baked into it as a full-height wordmark, so the page's own title was hidden to avoid a collision; this new screenshot carries no such text, so the title is shown again with a normal drop shadow.

Build 36 · 19 Sep 2026

Photo hero for the Table page

The Table (Chronicles of the Arcanum) page's ringed medallion is replaced with a full photo hero: an overhead shot of a game table spread — dice tray, spell-component bottles, character sheet, quill, dice pouch — that Steve supplied. No baked-in text this time, so the kicker, title, and tagline all carried over unchanged. Resources is now the only page left on the ringed medallion.

Build 35 · 19 Sep 2026

Photo hero for the Calendar page

The Calendar page's ringed medallion is replaced with a full photo hero: a stock photo of metal dice, coins, and a dice pouch on a stone table that Steve supplied, with the original "How to write a tabletop role-playing game" headline overlay cropped off — that overlay was baked directly into the source image rather than a separate layer, so the fix was cropping to the clean top two-fifths of the photo (dice, coins, and the pouch corner, no text) rather than trying to paint it out. Table and Resources are now the only pages still on the ringed medallion.

Build 34 · 19 Sep 2026

Official-art photo hero for Minis

The Minis page's ringed medallion (shipped in Build 31) is replaced with a full photo hero using a real photo Steve supplied of a painted miniature party (Gandalf-style wizard front and center, flanked by dwarves and other adventurers). Unlike the Build 32/33 banners, this photo has no baked-in logo or wordmark, so the kicker, title, and tagline all stayed visible over it exactly as before — just moved from a plain crest onto the photo. Table, Calendar, and Resources are now the only pages still on the ringed medallion, since no official/commissioned art exists for them yet.

Build 33 · 19 Sep 2026

Official-art photo hero for Foundry

The Foundry page's ringed medallion (shipped in Build 31) is replaced with a full photo hero using the official Foundry Virtual Tabletop key-art banner Steve supplied, matching the treatment the other themed pages got in Build 32. Same pattern: the banner as a full-bleed background with a dark bottom gradient for legibility, kicker/title/tagline unchanged. This closes out the last page on the themed-hero-art rollout — every section-identity page on the site now has either a photo hero or a ringed medallion.

Build 32 · 19 Sep 2026

Official-art photo heroes for five more pages

Plotweaver, MTG Packs, Poké Packs, Lorcana Packs, and the Pathfinder & Starfinder Society page all moved from the plain crest/medallion hero to a full photo hero built from official art (the same .hero.big treatment the homepage and Cosmere hub already used), with a dark gradient laid over the bottom of each image so the title and tagline stay readable. Where the artwork already carries its own logotype (Plotweaver's script wordmark, the Lorcana wordmark), the page's own heading is kept for assistive tech but hidden visually instead of duplicating it on screen. The Society hero uses a commissioned dark-fantasy piece (a horn relic under a glass dome, flanked by wraiths) rather than tournament-organizer art, since it reads better as the page's own mood-setting image. Magic and Pokémon's previously open fan-content question is resolved the same way Cosmere's was: official art supplied directly rather than sourced or generated by the site.

Build 31 · 19 Sep 2026

Themed hero medallions on six more pages

The Table, Society, Foundry, Calendar, Resources, and Minis pages all got the ringed-medallion hero treatment (the wolf crest inside a ringed badge, echoing how Warhorn frames a lodge's crest on black) instead of the plain small crest icon they had before. Each page's ring carries its own small repeating motif so they read as distinct at a glance: dice pips on Table, spark-stars on Society (Pathfinder & Starfinder side by side), a hex-grid ring on Foundry (the VTT map grid), clock ticks on Calendar, quill nibs on Resources, and paint dabs on Minis. First pass put a large crossed-icon shape directly behind the crest, but the crest image nearly fully covered it — caught by screenshotting each medallion up close rather than trusting the full-page view, and fixed by moving each motif out into the visible ring band instead.

Build 30 · 19 Sep 2026

Top nav given more room

The header's nav strip (12 links plus the brand mark and the Theme/Palette buttons) was sharing the same 1060px content column as the rest of the page, so on a normal desktop window “Lorcana” and a few neighbours were getting clipped instead of just crowding. The top bar now has its own wider container (1320px) independent of the page content below it, which stays at 1060px for readability. Phone-width behaviour (horizontal scroll on the nav strip) is unchanged.

Build 29 · 19 Sep 2026

Poké Packs hub link pointed at the wrong subdomain

The Pokémon hub page's launch button, and the placeholder tools listing, both linked to poke-packs.greywolfgames.net — a name the app was never actually deployed under. Both now point to pokemon.greywolfgames.net, matching MTG Packs' equivalent link. Note: as of this build, neither mtg.greywolfgames.net nor pokemon.greywolfgames.net is live yet (both 404) — that's a Cloudflare Pages/DNS deployment step, not a site-code issue, and is tracked separately.

Build 28 · 18 Sep 2026

Footer decluttered, homepage stops showing its own dev log

The footer's build line and legal trademark disclaimer used to run together as one crammed paragraph next to the site nav; they're now three clearly separated pieces — nav row on top, then the build/version line, then the fan-content disclaimer in its own smaller, lighter fine-print block. Also removed the “Workshop log” section from the homepage (a curated highlight reel of recent builds) since a public marketing page isn't the place for that kind of behind-the-scenes detail — its five entries were folded into the proper per-tool logs on this page instead, with real dates where the homepage had them.

Build 27 · 18 Sep 2026

Full photo hero art on the Cosmere hub page

The Cosmere hub page now uses a full photographic hero background (official Cosmere Roleplaying Game key art) instead of the plain dark gradient, matching the treatment the homepage already had. First page in a planned rollout of themed hero art across the other subject pages.

Build 27 · 18 Sep 2026

A way out of Lorcana Packs

Lorcana Packs is a standalone app on its own subdomain and had no link back to the main site. It now has a small wolf-crest icon button in its header that returns to its Grey Wolf Games hub page. MTG Packs and Pokémon Packs still need the same fix once their source files are available.

Build 26 · 17 Sep 2026

Lorcana Packs added to the site

A new booster simulator for Disney Lorcana joins Magic and Pokémon: a hub page and a tools listing, added to the homepage’s Cracking Packs section, the Tools catalog, and site-wide navigation across every page.

Build 25 · 17 Sep 2026

Small compass-mark accent on Cosmere and Plotweaver pages

A tiny Cosmere-themed compass/diamond glyph now sits at the end of each section header's underline on the Cosmere hub and Plotweaver pages, using a custom icon font.

Build 24 · 17 Sep 2026

New crest fixed on every page, not just the nav

Build 23 replaced the small nav badge everywhere, but missed the larger 64px crest that sits at the top of every inner page's own header — those 18 pages were still showing the old vector shield. Fixed; every page now shows the same wolf-head badge, top to bottom.

Build 23 · 17 Sep 2026

New wolf-head crest, and a photo hero on the homepage

The vector shield crest is replaced everywhere (nav badge, all 19 pages) with a circular crop of a commissioned wolf-head astrolabe piece. The homepage hero is now the full photo itself, with the title set over a dark gradient for legibility — the rest of the site keeps its own look untouched.

Build 22 · 17 Sep 2026

The Chase moved to a new GM Resources section on The Table

It had been sitting on the player-facing Resources page, bundled together with an unrelated icon credit as if they were one thing. Both now live under a new GM Resources section on The Table, as two clearly separate items.

Build 21 · 17 Sep 2026

Restored five features a script edit had accidentally deleted

A batch edit while adding the site palette (below) had silently wiped the Tools-page filter, the About-page email reveal, the Minis gallery, the Society character/write-up cards, and the entire Calendar live-schedule feed on five pages. Restored from the original source and re-tested across every page on the site.

Build 20 · 17 Sep 2026

Theme and Palette buttons moved to the top bar

They lived in the footer before, easy to miss. Also fixed the theme toggle not overriding an active palette.

Build 19 · 17 Sep 2026

Palette picker's Done button fixed

The button existed before the script that was supposed to wire it up ever ran, so clicking it did nothing.

Build 17–18 · 17 Sep 2026

Site-wide color palette and Auto/Light/Dark theme

The same 10 Radiant-Order palettes as the Encounter Tracker, added to all 18 pages, with a subtly tinted page title. Also added an external-tool reference card for The Chase by Fairway 3 Games (later moved to The Table — see Build 22).

Build 16 · 15 Sep 2026

Tools catalog reorganized

The Tools page now filters by app instead of by game.

3 Sep 2026

A home for the Cosmere tools

The suite got a front door, and Ars Arcana joined it — a reading tracker with real page counts for thirty books, every one editable because editions genuinely disagree.

2 Sep 2026

Two pack simulators

Magic and Pokémon, built the same way. A duplicate-card bug turned up in both on the same day — thin rarity pools, which fat test fixtures had been hiding.

Earlier builds

Cosmere hub and pack simulators launched

Cross-device sync for the Encounter Tracker shipped in the first few builds, alongside the items above.

A note on this page: it went up on 17 September 2026. Everything above each tool's current build was reconstructed from what's already shipped, and two gaps are marked honestly rather than guessed at — Wayfinder's builds 6–40 and the Encounter Tracker's builds before 8. Going forward, new build notes land here first.
