World of Darkness 5.0 is here! After months of development time, I've completely reworked the backend of the system and overhauled the frontend of the system! Featuring wholly new actor and item sheets, 12 new item types, 5 system themes to choose from, and insane amounts of customization so that you can play World of Darkness the way that you envision it!

Not only that, but there's been really big features added, such as a Frenzy dialog to determine whether you're resisting Frenzy or Riding the Wave, Werewolves can now attach images to their forms to shift their token into, Hunter edges and perks got a huge rework to better apply the system mechanics of Hunter, new experience tracker page, expanded Biography fields and Equipment tracking, Pack sheets received the new traits from Shattered Nation, and so, so much more!

There's really so many changes I might have even missed some below! But nonetheless, please read, and play, and enjoy. I'm really proud of the work I've put into the system over the past year, and especially over the past 4 months getting everything into a better shape and improving and improving.

PS. The below list is not exhaustive, there was a lot of change in the past few months and I probably forgot to list some things. But! I made sure to get the big things in this changelog.

Thank You

Before I get into the changes, I just want to thank all the people that helped so, so much over the past few months over in the FoundryVTT Discord's World of Darkness channel. Everyone who's ever been in that channel has helped me in their own ways, between suggestions for features and improvements to the UI, to willingly testing the prerelease builds and helping me iron out the rough edges.

People who aren't in the channel have helped too, though! From my Ko-Fi supporters and Patreon supporters, to people who submit issues through the Github and even people who directly DM me with problems they're experiencing and feedback on how I can make things better, I can't thank you all enough.

You're all awesome, and the reason why I do this: I want to help people enjoy World of Darkness 5th edition the best way possible, and every piece of feedback gets me closer to making sure that happens.

💜
