Hello DMs,

Welcome to Improved Initiative v2.3! This update includes overhauled Settings tabs, and a new Tag Suggest feature for Epic Initiative supporters. Tag Suggest can be enabled on the Epic Initiative Settings tab, and will let your players use a fully featured Add Tag dialog on the Player View, similar to the Damage Suggest feature. Improved Initiative is also more mobile-friendly with every release, and now supports your mobile browser's Add to Home Screen so you can install it much like an app!

In other news, I'd like to share a Kickstarter that was launched by a friend of the app, Christine Pruett. Castles & Cats is a tabletop RPG for preschool and elementary aged kids. The campaign ends on April 25th, so please check it out if this is interesting to you!

It's been a busy month with our 7-month old, so this update might feel a bit lightweight. I did a lot of code refactoring work that will make it easier to continue adding new features to the app, as well as some research & experimentation on integrating with D&D Beyond. As always, thanks for your continued support!

So excited about tag suggest!

In my testing, when a player suggests a Tag, and the DM accepts it, the tag doesn't show up in the player view (even after reloading the page). If the DM adds a tag on their side, it does show up in the player view.

Ah, I can guess what's happening. The tag will probably show up after the next thing you do (like next turn, apply damage, etc). Will fix.

I just stumbled across your program, after playing around with it for a couple of minutes I was more than happy to support. What a great tool! Thank you!

Love your work @Evan Bailey. Have subbed. Is there a wiki with FAQ's anywhere? I had a couple of questions and couldn't find answers: 1. Solved - The "save as" option doesn't appear for me when editing default stat blocks. I can save as for creatures I create - Update - Even though the save as box isn't there, it appears that if I edit a statblock and click on "Save" it automatically creates a separate entry. Pretty happy with that. 2. How do I import stuff from Kobold Fight Club?

Hi iamk2, thanks for the support! No wiki with FAQs, but I recognized the need for one as the app continues to get more features. One issue is that it's a lot of extra work to keep documentation up to date as the app continues to evolve. Kobold Fight Club will let you launch an encounter in Improved Initiative once you've started their encounter runner with a selected party. I'm working with the dev on that site to improve the experience soon.

Looking terrific, and everything seems to be running like clockwork! I'm having a small issue at the moment, but I don't think it's related to any new changes. One of my players left our group, and I'd like to remove his character from the library, but can't seem to find any way to do that. I tried opening the sheet and simply deleting it, but he remains in the list. I'm probably missing something obvious, but could anyone give me a heads up on how to do this?

That is strange, the Delete StatBlock button in the editor should work like you expect. If you press F12 to open the dev tools before trying to delete the statblock, you might see some error that can help diagnose the problem. Feel free to email me directly with more details improvedinitiativedev@gmail.com
