So, we just want to set some expectations regarding the NPC timeline because we know everyone is so excited for this feature, and believe me, we are so excited about this too! Our goal is to start opening up the new features to Patreon backers sometime in July (this will likely be very early access, with limited integration into the wider system at first), with the full, official public release probably coming sometime in August or September. Two main reasons for having such a long development window:
1. This NPC feature is HUGE. We've been putting off NPCs for about a year now because of the scope of changes involved in this process. Character sheets are getting remade from the ground up to support the needed flexibility for NPC sheets. This means that everything that uses character sheets needs to be adjusted as well (which is everything from the dice roller, to the Game Table, to the Discord bot). Because we're already touching everything, we're also rolling in several other changes that will help us to be able to grow our system and be able to expand further! This update doesn't get to be Version 1 because it's easy! :)
2. The other reason, which I'm sure everyone is more than aware of, but we'll mention because it's easy to overlook: We're just 2 developers and a designer that work on this project in our spare time. We absolutely adore this project and dream that someday we can work on it full time, but until that day, we all have full time jobs and families that have to come first.
We appreciate your patience and support, and we can already promise from what we've been working on in just the past 2 weeks, that this will be the best iterations of RPG Sessions yet, and it will be well worth the wait!
