What to test

1.Sign in, go to Adventures, start a new one.

2.The picker should now be grouped by scale, biggest first: Worlds, In orbit, Regions, Cities, Rooms. 248 maps, up from 156.

⚠️ Never seen. Check the headings read sensibly and the grid is not a wall of thumbnails.

⚠️ Ninety-two are new, and ninety carry the unverified mark. They were cut out of contact sheets by a script, and the grid they declare came from arithmetic rather than from anybody counting squares in the picture. That is what the mark is for.

⚠️ They are portrait, not landscape — six squares across and ten or thirteen down, where every other map on the shelf is twelve by eight. Nothing on this shelf has ever been a different shape before. Check the grid does not look wrong in the picker.

3.⚠️ Look at Worlds first. It had eight maps and now has eighteen — ten hand-drawn planets, the only drawn things on a shelf of photographs. Check they do not look out of place beside the rest.

4.Open one of the new rooms — Forge, Classroom, Reactor core, Neon bar — and turn the grid overlay on.

⚠️ This is the real test of the whole batch. Look at where the lines fall against the doorways and the furniture. They are half the resolution of the rest of the shelf (about 50 pixels a square against 128), so they will look softer; what matters is whether the squares line up. If they do, the mark can come off.

5.Pick a room — try Cave mouth or Cavern, the two you generated that were never wired in.

6.Draw two or three rooms.

7.Press Place a thing. You should get ten buttons, not a dropdown — each with the marker that will land on the square, and a number on it.

⚠️ This is the one you asked for. Press 1–9 and 0 and watch the armed kind change without touching the mouse.

Type in a room's name field and press 1. It must type a 1, not arm a creature.

8.Place a creature, a hazard, an exit and an entrance.

9.The board should have letters along the top and numbers down the left. Check A8 in the rail matches where the thing actually is.

10.⚠️ Draw a rectangle and press "Outline" instead of "Add room". Four walls should appear in the Walls list below the things.

Draw one against the edge of the board and it should make three walls, not four — the board's own edge is always impassable and is never stored.

⚠️ Type one by hand too: C4/S..H4/S in the Walls field. Try C4/N and it should refuse, saying there is no /N or /W — the boundary north of C5 is the one south of C4.

Rub out should take one off again.

11.⚠️ Type C4:F7 into the "Go to" box and press Open. The same room dialog should appear with that shape already filled in — no drag needed.

D5 alone should work too, and nonsense should say "Try C4, or C4:F7."

Something off the board like A1:Z9 should be clamped to the board rather than refused: reaching for the whole map is not a mistake.

12.Press + Map. You should land on the new map with the picker open.

⚠️ The trap you got stuck in. There must be a way out — "Never mind — back to \<first map\>". Press it, confirm you are back and the empty map is gone.

13.Press + Map again and pick Smithy — a portrait room, 6 × 10, so the second map is a different shape from the first. (This step used to name Cave pool as 8×6. It is not: lib-cave-pool uses registered(...), which is the shelf's 12 × 8, so the step could not fail. The ninety portrait rooms Issue 198 cut are the maps that make it a real check, and Issue 228 is what made the builder read their grid at all.)

14.Draw a room, place an entrance on it, and place an exit as well — step 33 needs a way back and there was none.

15.Back on the first map, find your exit in the rail. It should show its name and a destination dropdown on its own line underneath.

⚠️ This was the bug you reported. The name must not be eaten.

16.Point the exit at the second map.

17.The rail should stop saying the second map has no way in.

18.Try Start here on the second map's tab, watch the ★ move, then move it back.

19.In the rail, find Charts. Add one called Creatures.

20.Add lines. Type Ogre — it should offer suggestions from the pack, and the line should get a ✦ meaning it points at a real creature.

21.Add a line that is not a creature (A rumour about the miller). No ✦, and that is correct.

22.Point a square at the chart by naming it $Creatures — place a creature and type $Creatures as its name.

⚠️ This step used to say "select a creature and set Rolls on to $Creatures". There is no such dropdown and there never was: the name is the gesture, and readChartIntent mints the chart if it does not exist yet. Corrected 2026-09-09 on the step's first run.

23.Set a stat on some other creature by hand: pack dndmax.dogfood, selector ogre. It should say Ogre — Harder to hit than 11, Attack bonus 6, Hit points 59 — the ruleset's own words for those numbers. Type a selector that does not exist and check it says so.

⚠️ This step used to read armorClass 11, attackBonus 6, and so did the app: it printed the pack's var ids at a table. Corrected 2026-09-09, when MaxPack.displays — which exists for exactly this and which Ask Max had been reading all along — was finally consulted here too.

24.Press Play it.

25.⚠️ Most likely to be wrong. Your party should be standing on the entrance you drew, not at the top-left corner. If the board is empty of pieces, stop and tell me — that is the bug I nearly shipped and it would mean the fix is incomplete.

26.The square that said $Creatures should now name an actual creature, and the host rail should have What the charts gave listing what rolled.

27.Open the Doors panel. It should list your exit and where it leads.

28.⚠️ Drag a piece and watch the readout above the board. On a room it should say "4 squares · 20 feet", not just "4 squares".

Open a table on a world map and the same drag should read "4 squares · 2,000 miles". Until today both said the same thing.

A city or orbit map should say squares and no unit — a district is not a length, and "three districts" would be a measurement nobody made.

29.⚠️ Before you go: put a creature down, open its square, and press "Leave here". The row should show stays.

Your own seated piece must not offer it — the table cannot walk off leaving somebody's character in a room, and it should say so.

30.Press Go through, then confirm.

⚠️ The piece you marked should still be in the room you left. Go back and check it is standing exactly where you left it. Until today every piece on the map came along, and the code carried a comment claiming otherwise.

Press Bring along on it and travel again — it should follow.

31.Check all four at once:

the picture changed

the board resized to the new map's own grid — 6 × 10 for the Smithy, so the board should now be taller than it is wide ⚠️ this was untestable until Issue 228: every map in the builder was 12 × 8 whatever picture it wore, so travel had nothing to resize to

the rooms are the new map's

your pieces came with you and are on the entrance

32.The panel should say how many pieces came through and whether they landed on an entrance.

33.Point the Smithy's exit back at the first map, then go back the other way and check the first map comes back as you left it — anything you removed stays removed. (Both maps need an exit for this: the step used to say "if you can", and you could not, because step 14 only ever placed an entrance.)

34.⚠️ Open "Roll a chart" in the host panel and press $Creatures. It should say what came up and put nothing on the map. Press it a few times — newest first, and the map should still be untouched.

A chart with nothing on it should be a dead button with a reason, not a refusal after the click.

Check "What the charts gave" does not grow: that list means what the charts gave when the table opened, and a wandering monster is not that.

35.Click a square with a creature on it. It should show the creature's numbers under its name.

36.Press Onto the board. A monster piece should appear on that square.

The marker stays too. That is deliberate: the adventure says a creature is here, the piece is what you are about to fight.

37.Start combat. ⚠️ Check the ogre has 59 hit points, not the fallback. Every monster in this app used the fallback until today.

38.⚠️ Click your own piece while it is your turn. The squares it can hit should go faintly gold (or green in light mode) — eight squares around you for a normal weapon, and not the one you are standing on.

⚠️ Never seen, and a colour wash is exactly the thing no test can check. Tell me if it is too faint to notice or too strong to read the map through. It is deliberately weaker than the selection.

It should appear only on your turn and vanish when the turn passes. A ring on a piece that cannot act would promise something the engine would refuse.

Select a Goblin on its turn and the ring should be six squares, not one — that is the rock, the furthest thing a goblin has.

⚠️ There should be a second, fainter ring outside it: where you can still walk. Watch it shrink as you move — walk two squares and it should have four left, not six.

⚠️ Try to walk seven squares in one turn. It should refuse: "That is 7 squares and Ilsa has 6 left of 6 this turn." Until today a piece could cross the whole board and then swing. This is the second hard refusal added to combat today — if it fights the way you actually play, say so and I will relax it.

Dragging a piece whose turn it is not, or anything at all out of combat, should still be free. A DM tidying the board is not taking somebody'"'"'s turn.

39.⚠️ Look at the action bar on your turn. There should be two buttons, not one — Attack and Thrown rock. The pack names both; the bar drew one until today because the engine only offered one.

The one you last pressed stays chosen. When the turn passes to an Ogre it should drop back to Attack, because an ogre has no rock.

⚠️ Pick a target four squares away, then press Attack anyway. It stays pressable and prints "Attack reaches 1 square; they are 4 away" in the bar. Nothing rolls and the turn is not spent. Thrown rock should stay live and still work. - It went grey with the sentence in a tooltip until 2026-09-09, which is a refusal only a mouse can hear -- so on a tablet the button was dead and said nothing. Fixed as Issue 318; the rule it broke is step 111's, and this step used to teach the version that broke it.

40.⚠️ Try attacking somebody two squares away first. It should refuse, by name: "2 squares away is too far for Attack, which reaches 1." Seats are laid out two apart, so this is what happens at the start of every fight now — move your piece next to them and it works. Until today an attack had no range at all and you could hit anybody anywhere on the board.

41.When the monster's turn comes up, press Run its turn. It should pick the nearest character and swing.

The button moved. Corrected 2026-10-23 (Hotfix 463): it is on a floating card headed “For the DM: a monster's turn” now, with four choices, and it does not appear at all where monsters run themselves.

It must never target another monster, and never itself.

⚠️ Watch where the piece is. Put a monster right across the room first. It should walk toward whoever it hits before hitting them and stop next to them, never on top. Until today an attack had no reach at all, so a monster on the far side of the hall swung and connected while the board showed it standing yards away.

How far it walks comes from the pack: a wolf covers 10 squares, a rat or a rust monster 8, everybody else 6. Diagonals count as one, the same way the rest of this board measures.

If something is in the way it stops short rather than going around. This model has no walls to path around, so a piece that shuffled sideways would be obeying a rule nobody wrote.

⚠️ Open the log after it walks. There should be a line saying "Ogre moved 4 squares toward Brother Matthias" above the line about the attack, with 4sq in the narrow left column. Until an hour ago the board moved and the log said nothing about it.

A monster already standing next to somebody should log no move line. Nothing happened, so nothing is written.

⚠️ Park a monster right across a big board and run its turn. It should walk as far as it can and stop, without swinging — and the button must report success, not an error. A turn spent walking is not a failed turn.

⚠️ Now do the same with a Goblin or a Guard, four squares away. Those two carry a rock, so they should not move at all — they should throw, and the log should say "with Thrown rock" and take 4 off rather than 6. An ogre in the same spot walks, because a blade is all it has. Until today every creature could only ever do the one thing.

Standing right next to somebody, a goblin should use the blade instead: no action name in the log, and 6 damage. The pack lists the blade first and that is what listing it first means.

42.With the fight still running, go to another square with a creature on it and press Onto the board. It should appear and be rolled into the initiative order — check it is in the list.

Until today nothing could add a token to a running fight, so a monster placed mid-combat stood there with no turn for ever.

43.Put a second creature down with …as a friendly instead. It should appear, and no monster should ever swing at it — a friendly is nobody's enemy.

44.Open a square with a piece on it. There should be an On the board list with Take it off.

Your own seated piece must be listed and not removable — it should say somebody is playing it. Until today nothing could remove any token, so "Onto the board" was a one-way door.

45.Open the turn order and use the +1 / +5 / −1 / −5 buttons under a combatant's health.

⚠️ Take somebody to zero, then heal them. They must come back into the order — not stay struck through. Until today nothing in this app could heal, apply damage from a fall or a spell, or bring anybody back up.

46.Press End the fight while everybody is still standing. It should stop cleanly — the order closes, nobody has to die for it.

Until today a fight ended exactly one way: when one combatant was left. A party that ran was stuck in initiative for ever.

47.Start it again and knock something out. The piece on the board should fade and its name strike through, matching how the initiative order already shows it.

It stays on the board deliberately. A body is still a thing in the room, and clearing it would be the app deciding the fight is over.

48.⚠️ Open the "Clocks" panel. There should be one — The alarm, four empty segments. Press + twice and it should say "Boots in the corridor."

Fill it and the last segment should say "The alarm is up." Press + again and nothing should happen and nothing should be said.

Press − back down past two and it should say "It goes quiet again." Going down past four should say nothing — that mark has no line for the way back.

⚠️ There should be exactly one clock, not two. The pack declares a hidden doom clock as well, and it must not appear here or anywhere in the page source — a doom clock the players can read is not a doom clock.

49.Save the session (before the tomb).

50.Change things: rename a room, remove a thing, spring a trap.

51.Resume the save. Check the rooms come back as they were and that a trap you sprung reads as sprung again.

⚠️ Both of these were missing until today. A save restored the board and the pieces and none of the rooms.

52.Open Keep as an adventure → update the one it came from.

53.The preview should list changes from both maps, not just the one you are standing on. ⚠️ It silently dropped every other map until today. ---

54.Open the room picker (wherever you set the table dressing). There should be three new rooms: The Study, The Hold and The Crypt.

55.⚠️ Pick each one and look at the corners of the panel. The frame is nine-sliced, and I measured where to cut it by eye off the art — a wrong number takes a bite out of the plain middle or squashes the brass. That is obvious on sight and invisible to a test, so this step is the only thing that can find it.

The Study's corner is brass on oxblood leather; The Hold's is a brass strap that runs further along the top than down the side; The Crypt's is rusted ironwork.

56.Each room should have two objects lying on it — a wallet of coins and spectacles, a stained board and a coil of rope, a pool of blood and a coil of chain. One of each pair is borrowed from another room, which is written down rather than hidden.

57.Open the character book in each. Study gets the leather tome, Hold the ship's log, Crypt the iron-bound grimoire.

58.⚠️ None of the three can be a table. They should appear where you dress your screens and not in the list of tables a battlemap sits on. If one shows up there, something got promoted that has no board frame.

59.Back at the table as host, find the Doors panel. It should list every door and field on the board, by minted id — e-door-c4s and the like — with where each one stands.

A wall must not be in this list. A wall has no open and shut, and a control that can only ever refuse is worse than no control.

60.Open one. It should say open immediately and stay open on a reload.

61.⚠️ Set it back to how you drew it, then resize the board. The door should still be the same door. It is keyed by a minted id rather than by C4/S on purpose — keyed by the address, a resize opens some other wall somewhere else and nobody can see it happen.

62.⚠️ Travel to a map that has walls drawn on it. They should appear on the board — solid lines on the boundaries between squares, not inside them. Until today every wall anybody drew was real in the builder and invisible at the table: travel carried them and the route dropped them.

A door is a heavier line; locked is heavier still; an open one is a dashed gap rather than a thin wall.

Travel somewhere else and back. The walls should be the destination's — the hall's fences must not still be standing in the cave.

63.Open a door and watch the board, not the panel. The line should become a dashed gap without a reload.

64.Look at it from a player's screen. They should see the door is open too. This is the one thing on this board deliberately visible to everybody — a wall is not a secret, and a player's screen cannot draw a door it was not told about.

65.⚠️ Put the mouse down and press Tab until you reach the board. It should take one press to get past it, not ninety-six. Until today every square was its own tab stop and everything below the board was unreachable in practice.

66.Arrow around. The focus should move square by square and stop at the edges rather than wrapping onto the next row. Home and End go to the ends of the row; PageUp and PageDown to the top and bottom of the column.

67.Turn on a screen reader and arrow across a wall. The square should say its name and then what is beside it — "C4, Great Hall, wall north, locked door east". That label is the only way anybody using one knows where they are.

68.⚠️ Arm the key plate, hold Shift and arrow to make a block, then press Enter. It should offer to name the whole block as one room, not the corner square. The address in the dialog should read C4:F7.

69.Click a square, then arrow away from it. The cursor should carry on from where you clicked rather than jumping back to wherever it was.

70.Find the Spent and held panel. With the dogfood ruleset on, every seated character should have 3 Luck.

71.Press Spend one. It should drop to 2 for that character and nobody else. Everybody at the table should see it — that is deliberate, a Fate point is spent out loud.

72.Press it twice fast, on a bad connection if you can manage one. Two presses are two decisions and should cost two. A single press that the app retries must cost one — that is the whole reason this issue was separate from the clocks, and it is the part a test cannot fully prove.

73.Spend to zero and press again. It should refuse in the pack's own words: "You are out of Luck. That one stands." Not the engine's sentence about a resource it did not name.

74.As host, press Give back. It should refill and stop at 3, which is what the pack says the ceiling is.

75.Open the log plate and look for a fourth tab, Table. Out of a fight it should be the one that opens by default — a roll is how something was decided and a table line is what happened.

76.Open a door. A line should appear: "Matthias opened a door." It should say door, not e-door-c4s.

77.Spend a Luck. "Ilsa spent 1 Luck, and has 2 left." The number left is the bit the table reacts to.

78.Spend once and let it retry — one press. There must be exactly one line. Two lines for one Fate point is the same confusion the intent key exists to prevent, arriving through the log instead of the balance.

79.Turn the alarm clock up to 4 in one press — press the fourth segment of the clock, not the + button. It should say both marks, in the order it passed them, in the pack's own words — "Boots in the corridor." then "The alarm is up." Not the engine's summary of them. ⚠️ Only + and − existed until 2026-09-01, so nothing at a table could move a clock more than one segment and this step had no way in. The segments are the control now: pressing segment n sets the clock to n.

80.⚠️ Turn the hidden "What is coming" clock. It is in your Clocks panel marked yours only, and it is not on a player's screen at all — not drawn-but-hidden, absent, so check a player's screen and then check their network tab. The table log must say nothing at all. But you should see what it crossed — "Halfway. Something should be wrong by now." — in the line above the clocks. That is the only place a hidden clock's marks can appear, and it is the DM's to read or not read aloud. ⚠️ The clock was correctly absent from the snapshot and there was no host-only read for it, so until 2026-09-01 it could be moved by the API and appeared on nobody's screen. allTracks had been written and never called.

81.Travel somewhere. "The table walked through the iron door into The Crypt."

82.⚠️ Walls no longer refuse by default. Open the table settings and find Walls — three buttons: Advise, Enforce, Off. It starts on Advise, which is the answer you gave the questionnaire, and it is looser than what shipped yesterday. Yesterday a wall refused; today it lets you through and puts a line in the log.

⚠️ Steps 83–85 need a fight, and the piece's own turn. The setting is read only when a move is a turn being spent — out of combat a host dragging a piece is tidying the board, and the walls are deliberately not consulted. Trying these out of combat exercises the route validator instead, which refuses a path through a shut door on all three settings and looks exactly like the setting being broken. (Written down 2026-09-09 after the browser pass nearly filed it as a defect.)

83.On Advise, in combat and on that piece's turn, walk it through a wall. It should move, and the Table log should say "Ilsa moved through a wall. The board advised against it."

A shut door is not a wall and is not governed by this setting: it refuses with "That door is not open." whatever the walls are set to. Open it first, or test with a plain wall.

84.Switch to Enforce and try again. It should refuse.

85.Switch to Off and try again. It should move and say nothing.

86.Walk somewhere the walls leave open. No line at all — advice on every move is noise, and noise is how a real warning gets ignored.

87.Draw deep water on a map, travel to it, and walk into it. It should stop you. Until today a lake was open floor. Shallow water must not stop you — that is wading, and the difference is in the vocabulary on purpose.

88.Put a party marker on a region or world map and drag it a long way. It should go. A move budget is a tactical idea — sixteen squares there is a fortnight on the road, not four turns of running.

89.⚠️ Open the builder's map picker and look for a search box. There should be one, plus a row of style filters — the builder used to have neither, because it had a second picker that never got them. It is one picker now. Search river, then cave.

90.No dead buttons in the style row. A style nothing matches should not be offered.

91.⚠️ Find the "grid not checked" mark. Ninety maps carry it and the builder drew none of them. Marks should now appear here exactly as they do at the table.

92.⚠️ Turn the grid overlay on — "Show the grid over the art", with the declared squares and the pixel density beside it. This is the control you could not find, and it is the whole point of the mark: it is how a person decides the mark can come off.

93.Choose a portrait room — Forge, Classroom, Reactor core, Neon bar. It must not be squeezed into a twelve-by-eight landscape frame. The board should take the picture's own shape, and the forge hood should be round rather than an ellipse.

94.⚠️ Check the ruler on a map that declares a scale — Cave mouth declares one. Measure four squares: it should read "4 squares · 20 feet", not bare squares. The readout has been able to speak in feet since Issue 156 and was never handed a scale to speak from.

95.⚠️ Open the builder on the largest screen you have. The board should use the space. It was sized for a laptop and left a 4K display mostly empty.

96.Find the builder's zoom control and use it. It should match the table's, not be a second idea about zooming.

97.Make the window small and open the shape dialog. It must still be reachable — it used to fall off the bottom.

98.⚠️ Press Notes. Something visible must happen without scrolling, and the board must stay visible while you type. The panel used to open below the fold, so the button looked dead.

99.Add a dozen rooms, things and walls, then press Notes again. Where the panel appears must not depend on how much is on the map.

100.Draw a room that turns a corner — an L, two blocks, not a rectangle. Outline should trace the perimeter of the whole shape and not the seam through the middle. Read its address back and retype it; it should be the same room.

101.⚠️ Make a creature chart. It should take one press, not nine — the chart arrives with the pack's creatures already in it.

102.Nothing you did not ask for. The fill must add only what you asked for, and the lines it adds must be ordinary lines: removable and reorderable like any other.

103.⚠️ Type $Goblins into the name field while placing a thing. That square should point at a chart called Goblins, and the popup should say whether it found an existing chart or is making a new one.

104.Name a square something with no $. It must not become a chart by accident.

105.⚠️ Set a creature's Rolls on to a chart, save, leave, and come back. It must still be set. This is the one that was silently dropped on every save — the serialiser listed its fields by hand and this one was not on the list — so no chart had ever rolled at a table.

106.⚠️ Draw walls in the builder, then open the adventure as a game. The walls must be there, on the boundaries you drew. They used to stay in the document.

107.Check the doors panel. Doors appear there by name; plain walls do not.

108.Ask a square what is beside it. Its label should name the wall.

109.⚠️ Type a nonsense square into the Go to box — Z99. The refusal must appear beside the box. It had nowhere to go and so said nothing, which is how a tester decides she is the one who is broken.

110.⚠️ Find the Walls mode buttons — Advise, Enforce, Off. The one that is chosen must look chosen. It used to be the greyed-out one, which reads as the disabled one.

111.Press "Spend one" on a resource that is already at zero. The button must be pressable, and it must tell you why it will not work. Disabling it meant the sentence explaining it could never be heard.

112.Anything else that refuses, anywhere in this pass: it must say so in words. Silence is the bug.

113.⚠️ Open table settings and scroll to "What DMax has cost tonight." It should say how many narrations this table has used out of its nightly allowance. The cap has existed since August and there has never been a way to see it — the only way to learn it was there was to hit it.

114.⚠️ Paste something that is not an API key into "put this table on its own key" — hunter2 will do. It must refuse in words and offer both issuers, so you can say which one it is: "That key's shape is not one this build recognises, which does not mean it is wrong. Who issued it?"

⚠️ Check the box is empty before you type. On 2026-09-09 it arrived holding a password out of Chrome's own store — an API-key box a password manager fills is one that eventually gets submitted with a password in it. Fixed by autocomplete="new-password", which Chrome honours where it ignores off; if it ever autofills again, that attribute has been lost.

115.⚠️ Paste a real key (Anthropic sk-ant-… or Google AIza…). The panel should switch to "This table is on its own Anthropic key" and say that the site's caps no longer apply. The key must never appear again — not in the field, not on the panel, not anywhere.

116.Reload the table and open the panel again. It should still say the table is on its own key, and still not show it.

117.Press "Use the site's key instead." The spend numbers should come back, and DMax should narrate on the deployment's key again.

118.⚠️ In the same panel, find "Your Dungeon Master." Seven names — DMax, Brother Matthias, Commander Graff, Jane, Hollis, Pip and SkeptiLicious — with a line under the picker describing whichever is chosen. (This step said "Wizzy Woo, Barnaby Boo" until 2026-09-04: those were placeholder names for brainstorming, and what shipped is six real ones.) The <select> stays while the list is short; a search box appears at eight.

119.⚠️ Choose Brother Matthias and make DMax narrate something — a critical hit, a kill, a natural 1. The voice should change and nothing else should: same rules, same dice, same board. Six are on offer; Commander Graff and Pip are the furthest apart if Matthias reads too close to DMax.

120.⚠️ Pin the house ruleset, start a fight, and press the attack. In the picker it is called DnD Max — House Rules 1.0.0 — this step said "the Dogfood ruleset" until 2026-09-04, which is the pack's id (dndmax.dogfood) and not a word the interface ever shows. It should stop and ask — "Before you roll", with Press on regardless on offer — rather than rolling straight away. This is the decision that happens before the dice, and until today nothing at a table offered one.

121.Tick it and press Roll. The attack rolls 2d20 and keeps the best, and the combat log should say "Press on regardless" beside the result. A total that only makes sense given a choice has to say so.

122.Tick it, tick it again, then roll. The second tap takes it off — you should get an ordinary attack and no line in the log.

123.Press the attack and then Cancel. Nothing should roll.

124.Press the throw instead. It declares nothing, so it should roll immediately with no question — exactly as every attack did last week. This step used to end "Spend a Luck is deliberately not on offer yet". It is on offer now — see Part 22.

125.⚠️ Resume a save whose board differs from the one on screen. The rooms and things must update without a reload. The save system was right; the screen was not being told.

126.Open Keep as an adventure before and after resuming. The counts it previews must match.

127.⚠️ Download an adventure from the builder as a file. Then load it back into the other account. It should produce the same rooms, things and connections, belong to whoever imported it, and have its own id.

128.Feed the importer a malformed file. It must refuse by name and import nothing — no half-loaded adventure.

129.⚠️ Run a table on a ruleset with no turn order and hand the turn to a named person. Then try the same at a table running initiative: it must refuse and say why. You should never be offered both controls, and never a disabled one.

130.Sign in and tick something on this page, then open it in a different browser and sign in there. The ticks and notes should have travelled. Signed out, they stay in the browser exactly as before.

131.Take a note on a step. Every step takes one.

132.⚠️ Open /demo-weekend. It should say no trial has been run yet, and look deliberate rather than broken.

133.Open /roadmap and find Phase 7 and Phase 8 — the two that carry both files and registered numbers. Each should read like "46 / 51 · 10 registered": how much is built and how many numbers are reserved, not one at the expense of the other. Phase 8 used to say only "10 registered" and hid forty-six built issues.

134.⚠️ "Spend a Luck" is on offer now. It was withheld for a fortnight while nobody had chosen an idempotency key convention. Pin DnD Max — House Rules, start a fight with a character (not a monster), press the attack, and it should be in the list beside Press on regardless.

A fresh table has one token and no fight: the quickest way to two combatants is Play it on an adventure with a creature placed, which opens a table with them already on the board.

135.⚠️ Tick it and roll. The attack should take one Luck and give a +2, and the log should name the choice. Both halves matter: the declaration promised a +2 in its own summary and gave none until a declaration could carry a cost and a benefit together.

136.Spend a Luck with none left. The whole attack must be refused, in the pack's own words, and nothing should roll. A spend is a price rather than a consequence — the bonus is already in the expression by then, so a Luck you have not got has to stop the swing.

137.Have a monster try it. A creature has no character, so a character-held cost has nobody to come from: it must refuse and say so, rather than charging the table for a goblin's swing.

138.⚠️ Watch a bonus reach the dice at all. Any declaration with a bonus on an attacker whose attack bonus is not zero. Until 2026-09-04 this produced 1d20 + 3 + 2, which the dice engine refuses — so the bonus effect kind had never once been rolled in combat.

139.⚠️ Open /admin, the Maps tab. Above the uploads there should be The map shelf — 249 maps, with counts for how many were added and how many are hidden. The tab used to list only player uploads, which on a fresh deployment is nothing at all.

140.Click a thumbnail. The map should open full size over the page, not in a new tab, with a Show the grid toggle. Escape closes it.

141.Turn that grid on over a portrait room. The lines must fall on the picture, not across the empty margins either side of it. That was wrong in the builder's picker until 2026-09-04 and it made the ninety unverified rooms impossible to check.

142.Hide a built-in, then offer it again. It should leave the builder's picker and come back. There is deliberately no delete on a built-in: it lives in a source file and the next deploy would bring it back.

143.Add a map, then find it in the builder's picker without deploying anything. It arrives with its grid marked not checked and no licence claimed, and neither is settable from the form.

144.Delete it. The row goes and so do the bytes.

145.⚠️ Find Finer and Coarser under a map's name. Until this, a map's grid came from its picture and nothing anywhere could change it.

146.⚠️ Press Finer on a map with a room drawn on it. The board doubles, the letters run further, and the room comes with it — same place on the picture, four times the squares. A room at C2:E4 becomes E3:J8.

147.⚠️ Watch what a square is worth. Five feet becomes two and a half feet and says so. This is not decoration: the scale is what the ruler and the movement rules measure in, and it read "5 feet" on a doubled board for the first hour this shipped.

148.Press Coarser on a map whose room starts on an odd column. It must refuse, saying the room would end inside a square — not clamp, and not move anything. Re-measuring the same picture should never silently trim somebody's rooms.

149.Go finer and straight back. The board and everything on it must be exactly where they started.

150.⚠️ Note what is not there yet. An added map still has no inset, so a picture with a margin cannot be aligned at all — every square is wrong by the same fraction. That is the half of Issue 258 that matters for uploads and it is not built.

151.Adventures → gallery → Play it on The Gutterfang Warren. The table opens on a bare board with the party at the entrance.

The turn panel sits beside the map on a wide screen, not on it.

152.Pick a hero. The turn panel asks "Who is Max playing?" — Fighter, Rogue, Wizard or Cleric, each showing its signature move.

⚠️ Your piece should now wear a face, not an initial.

Open Halcyon Ring instead and the choice is Marine, Scout, Engineer, Medic. The table drawer → Heroes come from changes the world.

153.Click your piece. The character card: health, mana (blue), armour, to-hit, damage, ✨ Moves, what you carry.

⚠️ A gold "✨ Max has a move to choose" button should be waiting in the turn panel. Pick one; it appears on the card and in the log.

154.Add a local player (the table drawer). They get their own Who is … playing?. Click their piece → Change hero works on it too.

155.Walk to Tollbury mill. DMax plays the miller's wife's plea, and 📜 Quests in the turn panel gets Find the miller's children.

156.Fight the goblin. Click it (red ring) to attack.

The strip along the top shows the turn order and 👣 squares left.

Each blow pops up for everyone; monster turns play one at a time with the attacker lit gold and its target white, "2 more to come…".

A felled monster shows +XP on its pop-up. ⭐ under the party's health fills; at 100 the party is level 2 and everyone gets a pick.

157.Use a move. As a Wizard, Magic missile never misses ("vs nothing — it never misses"). As a Fighter beside two enemies, Whirlwind hits both and costs one mana.

158.Treasure. Stand beside a chest → Take it. A find written as "3d6 copper" is rolled; the Purse under the party's treasure adds the coins up. Drink a potion from the card.

159.Rest (DM, out of a fight) — health and mana back to full.

160.Go through a door (turn panel, when a piece stands at an exit) to the next map.

161.📽 Projector view (table drawer). A new window with only the board, as players see it — no hidden monsters, no DM marks — and a QR code to join. Scan it with the phone. Corner menu: turn round, contrast, full screen.

162.📖 Tonight's tale in the turn panel. The evening on one card; Copy to share.

163.Your account page: tables you host have Delete table. As admin, Admin → Games deletes any table. In the table drawer, Who can find this table → Anyone lists it on the Games page, mid-session included.

164.Watch a monster walk up — it should slide, not jump. Get one to a quarter of its health: it may turn and run. As DM, click a door on the map to open or shut it. Level the party to 5 (DM bonus buttons) — a caster's mana bar should read 6.

165.Walls and doors. As DM, press 🧱 Put on the map → Wall and click near the side of a square; click again to remove it. (It read “Draw on the map” until 2026-10-23, and offered only these two — Hotfix 481 added Creature, Trap, Treasure, Thing and Note. Those are step 393.) Put a goblin behind it: its red ring goes away and the target list says "(behind a wall)". Turn on Players open doors themselves and have the phone click a door. In Clocks, tick a clock to advance every round and fight two rounds. Out-of-reach messages should now say feet.

166.Monsters with tricks. Hurt a goblin near a goblin shaman — the shaman should heal it. A stone guardian should stand still until you come close. Put a goblin behind a shut door: it opens the door. Cross a bog in a fight — it costs two a square. As DM, drag along a row with the Wall tool for a whole wall. On the projector, try 📏 Real minis.

167.On a phone, join by the QR code: the map is on top and the turn panel underneath. Fight a goblin sneak — it may vanish and reappear when it strikes. As DM, set Turns in a fight to Spotlight and pass it with Pass to…; tick Every second diagonal costs two and walk diagonally. With a screen reader on, open a door: it is read out.

168.Scenes, rescues, and a keyboard. In the drawer's Take a rest panel, spend a Grit and press 🎬 End the scene — Grit comes back, mana does not, nobody heals. A sheetless hero no longer has the goblin's rock. As DM, a piece left behind shows a 📌; walk a hero next to a left-behind friendly and the log says they will come with the party. With a screen reader, Shift+arrow on the board: it says "Selecting C4 to F7, 4 by 4". Press Enter on a square with a creature keyed to it and choose Onto the board.

169.Keep what you find. Signed in, bring a character from the Characters page to the table (or set it on your seat). Take a treasure: the found card has 🎒 Keep it on my sheet. Press it — the pile says kept by your character, and the item is on the sheet on the Characters page. A class hero picked at the table gets no button.

170.Somebody ready-made. In Who is … playing?, press …or play someone ready-made and pick Brother Matthias: his face on the piece, his card says Brother Matthias, Hedge-priest · Level 1, about 28 health, and his own spells.

171.DMax notices. Pick up treasure — he names it. Walk into the mill — he reacts to the quest. Finish the last goblin — "And that's the last of them." Go through a door — he turns a page. ⚠️ Most likely to be wrong: the projector on a real projector (rotation, contrast); a phone at 375px wide in a fight; sweeps (Whirlwind) when an enemy is behind a wall.

172.Make a table and have the second browser join it by its code. The empty lobby stage should show a card: you, the host, see ▶ Start the game, the friend sees I'm ready, and the card names whoever has not pressed Ready yet. You do not have to press Ready yourself.

173.Open Table settings before you start. It works in the lobby now, not only once you are playing. Find I play a hero too. It should be off when you run a table for other people.

Start with it off: you get no piece, no turn and no hero picker.

⚠️ Tick it between fights and your piece should appear at once. During a fight the box is greyed and says "Change this between fights."

174.Look at your own piece. It should have a ring in your colour and a gold YOU badge on its own piece's bottom corner. The friend's piece should be labelled with the hero as well as the player, like Kai · Fighter — when that fits; otherwise just the name, with the whole thing on hover.

⚠️ This step said above it until 2026-10-21, and so did the app — which is exactly where the piece on the square above hangs its name (Hotfix 464).

On a phone (under about 480 pixels wide), the table dressing is gone, and nothing scrolls sideways.

175.⚠️ Close the friend's tab for two minutes. Their seat should say "away — turns pass", the log should say so under the Who's here filter, and in a fight their turn should pass on its own with the reason in the fight log. Open it again: "… is back." The host is never marked away.

176.The table remembers your hero. Signed in as the friend, sit down at one table with a character from the Characters page. Then join a different table: that hero should be first in the list, marked (last time), and already picked. The quick join should say Bringing … with a Come without a hero button beside it.

177.Join as a guest with a name, then join another table from the same browser. The name box should already be filled in.

178.Look above the hero chooser. Brother Matthias should be there with a line about choosing a hero.

179.Open the home page signed in. A Play tonight card should show three adventures, each with ▶ Play it now. One press copies it to your shelf and opens a table. Signed out, it asks you to sign in first.

Create a table should offer Play an adventure on your own next to Just open a board.

180.Open an adventure in the builder. Brother Matthias should be in the side rail with one line about what is on the screen. It should change as you draw a first room, place a first thing and save.

Thanks, Matthias — I have it from here hides him on this browser, and there is a way to bring him back.

181.Search the map picker for "haunted mine". The mines should come up, with maps matching more of the words first. Try libraries too: plurals should match, and little words like the and of should be ignored.

182.⚠️ Place a creature and tick Friendly. Play the adventure: it should arrive as a person, not a monster, and it should never join a fight or appear in the turn order.

183.⚠️ Place a treasure with some read-aloud words and tick Locked. At the table, stand beside it. Take it should refuse with "It is locked. Ask the DM to open it." and the words should stay hidden. As the DM, press Open it for them. The log should say "The DM opened …", and now the words show under Take it and taking it works.

184.Place a hazard with DM notes and read-aloud, and nothing else. At the table, walk a hero onto it (beside it is not enough). Your DM box should get the notes, the read-aloud should be said, and the log should show it under a new Hazards filter. It fires once per map.

⚠️ This step said “the game applies no damage; that is your call from the notes” until 2026-10-23, and a tester reading it would have filed the damage as a bug. Since Hotfix 460 every trap gets a preset from its name — a pit drops you prone, gas poisons, a blade cuts, a rune frightens — each with a save, a detect and a disarm, worked out on every read so tables dealt before the fix get it too. Part 57 is the real check. The notes and the read-aloud still reach the DM beside it.

185.Fill in the Quest box on a creature. At the table, stand a hero next to that creature: the quest should start, the DM gets an alert, and it happens only once per map.

186.Press Duplicate this map. You should get a copy with the same picture, rooms, things, walls and notes. Its exits lead nowhere until you point them somewhere.

187.Copy a room and a thing. Each copy lands one square over. Type in Find a room or thing on this map… and the list should narrow by name, kind, tags or notes.

Tick several things and try Copy them, Remove them and Untick all.

⚠️ Remove them is not on the undo list yet.

188.⚠️ With two or more maps, press See the whole adventure. It should open on Laid out: every map's picture beside the map its door leads to, lined up door to door, which you can drag and zoom.

The Boxes and doors tab is the joining view. A map nothing leads to has a red dashed box saying "no way in yet". Drag from one box's ● to another box to join them: an exit called "Way to …" appears.

189.Table settings → Rooms read themselves. It should be on by default when DMax runs the table and off when you do. Turn it on and walk the first hero into a room that has read-aloud words: they should be said once, and not again for that room.

⚠️ The default is the part you were asked to confirm.

190.Stand the friend's piece at an exit. Their screen should show where it goes, "… — the DM takes the party through", and a We want to go on button. Press it: it turns into "✓ The DM has been told", and the ask appears in your DM box and the log. Only the host can take the party through.

191.Open the log plate outside a fight. It should open on Everything: rolls, table lines and what was said, newest first. On a wide screen it sits beside the board rather than on top of it.

192.Roll a natural 20 or a natural 1 on an attack, or level up. A banner should go across the table with a short chime, once per person.

193.At a DMax table, wait for him to ask a hero for a check. That player should get a 🎲 roll button. The log should show the d20 plus the hero's modifier ("d20 14 + 2 dex") and, if there was a number to beat, whether it worked. DMax narrates the result but cannot change it.

194.Watch a companion or a monster with something in its way. It should walk round it instead of stopping. A creature whose first attack is a blade should close in and use it rather than throw rocks. A healing creature heals at most twice a fight.

195.Take a potion, then something called "+1 sword", then something "legendary". The find card should be tinted green, then blue with a glow, then gold, say the rarity, and chime.

196.Walk into a room called something like Crypt, Forge, Tower or Tavern. The board should drip, hiss, blow or flicker gently. 🔈 Room sounds turns on a matching sound, for you only.

197.Open the 📽 Projector view and roll from a phone. A dice tray along the bottom should catch every roll and every swing, in the roller's colour with their name. A natural 20 glows gold, a 1 red. The newest six stay.

198.Open 📖 Tonight's tale. It should start with a strip of four panels: the party, where they went, what fell, what they found. 🖼 Save the picture saves it as one picture, or opens the phone's share sheet.

199.Leave a table untouched for three hours, then open it. DMax should read a recap of the night (who went where, what fell, what was found, quests done and open) and a "Previously on…" card should cover the table until you press Let's play.

Setup: a table you can leave alone for three hours.

200.Stand a hero within two squares of a person on the board (a friendly creature). A 💬 Talk to … button should appear over the board. Say something.

At a DMax table he answers in their voice and may suggest a quest, that they come along, or that they turn on you. Each one waits in Suggestions for the host's Do it or No.

At a table you run, it lands in your DM box for you to answer.

Every talk goes in the log under a Talk filter.

201.⚠️ Table settings → A villain on cue. Pick a creature, give it a name ("Morwen the Unquiet"), press 🎭 Stage its entrance. A suggestion should appear for the free edge square furthest from the party, and at a DMax table he describes it arriving. It steps onto the board only when you press Do it. This works with no DMax at all.

202.Table settings → Trust DMax. With it on, his monster moves and turns, quests, people joining the party, and fights starting should happen on their own, each with a "DMax: …" line in the log. New creatures still wait in Suggestions for you.

203.Leave a trusted table quiet for a while. DMax may suggest something arriving. It waits for you like any new creature.

204.⚠️ Table settings → 🌙 End the night, out of a fight — the buried one. Tonight should go into the book (📚 The book so far, under Tonight's tale). A signed-in player's own character should come up to the party's level and take their finds home: check their Characters page.

During a fight it refuses and says why.

Corrected 2026-10-23 (Hotfix 459): this is no longer the ending. 🏁 End the adventure is on the table itself, with We won / We fell / Just stop here, and the host is asked when the party falls, when there is nowhere onward, and when the main quest is done. Steps 395–397.

205.Have a guest rejoin on a new device with the same name after the night ended. Their hero should be handed back to them from the campaign.

206.Press 📜 Next adventure… and pick another of your adventures. The same table should load it: the old monsters go, the heroes stand at the new map's way in, and the level, the party's pile, the quests and the book all stay. The panel should now be headed The campaign.

207.Untick Progress counts for kept heroes and end a night. Kept heroes' sheets should not change. This is for one-shots.

208.⚠️ As DM, open the Doors panel and press See the whole adventure. It should fill the screen (not a strip the width of the side panel) and open on Laid out, with places the party has not reached dimmed. By doors is the old view.

209.As the friend, press 🗺 The world so far. The same layout, with unreached places fogged: no picture, no name, no doors.

210.On a phone, join a table and press 📱 Phone controller. (The projector's join card tells people to.) You should see your hero's face and health and DMax's latest line. The board stays on the big screen.

211.When it is your turn, the phone should show Your turn! and buzz once. iPhones do not buzz; the banner is enough. Move one square buttons should move your piece on the big screen.

212.Use the Attack buttons: enemies nearest first, with how far away they are. Take it for treasure in reach, Talk to for people nearby, quick dice, and any check DMax asked you for should all be there.

⚠️ Spells and potions are not on the phone yet; they are on the table screen.

213.At a table with a ruleset pinned (Part 34), look at Your sheet on the phone. It should use the ruleset's own words for its numbers, offer the ruleset's actions on your turn, and show the mode, the Rolls and your own after-the-roll buttons. The big screen shows none of this.

214.⚠️ Press 🎙 Say it and say "I attack the goblin". It should show what it heard; nothing happens until you press Do it. Try "move north two", "roll a d20", "I'm done" and "ask the innkeeper where the key is" as well.

Setup: Chrome, on the phone controller or the projector view. It is hidden in browsers that cannot hear, and it says that Chrome sends the sound to Google to turn it into words.

On the projector, "I" means whoever's turn it is.

Never tried on a real phone or TV.

215.⚠️ Adventures → Brother Matthias's desk → ✍️ Describe it. Type "three floors of a haunted mine swarming with spiders" and press Draft it. You should get an adventure on real maps, its name ending "(Matthias's draft)", with room names, read-aloud lines and DM notes. The first map's note starts with what you asked for.

With no AI key it still works from your own words. Twenty drafts a day per account.

216.🎲 Deal a run with a theme. A dungeon should deal beasts, the dead and goblins; a ship, smugglers and the drowned; the wild west, gunslingers. No more gunslingers in a dungeon. An EXTREME room holds at most twelve creatures.

217.In the builder, open the Community shelf panel. Write a line for the shelf, choose Play only or Play and remix, and press Publish to the community shelf. It should say "It is on the community shelf."

If a map uses a picture you uploaded, it asks you to tick "These map pictures are mine to share" first.

218.Adventures → The community shelf. Your card should show its cover, author, version, plays and licence. Search should find it. From the second account press Play it: a copy goes on their shelf and a table opens. The card's play count goes up.

219.⚠️ As the second account, try to save a play-only copy in the builder. It must refuse and say why.

220.Change the original and press Publish version 2. The second account's copy should say a newer version is out, with Take it and Not now. A remix copy offers See what changed, keeping yours instead.

221.Copy to remix appears only on a play-and-remix adventure. Report works once per person (Send the report), then says "You reported this."

222.Press Take it down. It leaves the shelf, and copies people already took keep working.

223.End a night on a table playing a community copy. That night's chapter should appear on the card as a tale from another table.

224.Press Forge in the top bar. On The MaxForge, under Start a homebrew ruleset, pick DnD Max — House Rules, give it a name, press Start it. It should appear under Your homebrew marked Personal.

225.Open it. There are five tabs: Rules, Preview, Test bench, Raw and Share. Under Add a rule there are five wizards: a passive bonus, a conditional bonus, a resource, an action and a random table. Make a passive bonus of +1 to be hit.

226.Add a conditional bonus, for example +2 to be hit while prone. The condition is built from chips ("Find a condition: prone, poisoned, target…"), each switchable to NOT, never typed as text.

227.Open Preview. A plain hero's numbers before and after, with switches for the conditions. Turn prone on and the +2 should appear.

228.Press Change a rule it already has. Type "hit" in the search and the rule should come up. Type nonsense in a formula box: it should refuse with its own message and name any number it does not know.

229.Press Save. It should say tables pinned to this ruleset pick it up the next time the host pins it.

230.Open Test bench. How a roll falls charts any dice; How often each action lands compares against the ruleset as written; Random tables, worked out gives exact odds; Fight it out runs 300 fights and reports how often the party is wiped; Things to check lists rules that can never matter.

231.Open Raw and break the text. It should say what is wrong on every keystroke and refuse to save it.

232.⚠️ Open Share on a Personal ruleset. There should be no share code and no download, not even greyed out. Have an admin make it open (Part 41), then Make a code to share (RULE-…) and Download the ruleset file appear.

In the second account, Bring one in with that code: they get their own copy. Load a ruleset file takes the file.

233.On the Forge page, press The Cellar Under the Inn under Play a first night. One press should deal the run, open a table, pin the ruleset and walk you in. Floor One (MAX LEVEL, Part 36) is there too. The list now holds a starter for every open ruleset that ships heroes — plus a DMax Crawler row above them all with its own ▶ button. (It said “three cards” until 2026-10-23. A hard number on a list that grows with every ruleset was never going to hold.)

234.Table settings → Ruleset, pick your homebrew from Part 33. The table should play it: the +1 should show in a hero's numbers.

235.Open House rules in the side rail. Everyone seated reads each rule as plain sentences. As host: Switch off, Switch on, Add a house rule, From my Forge, Save as a file and Load a file. Every change goes in the log. Pinning the ruleset again keeps them.

236.Under Random tables in the same panel, press 🎲 Trinkets. The result goes in the log for everybody.

With Ordinary, DM may fudge chosen (Part 35), the host also gets "Choose a result instead of rolling", and every choice goes in My DM's log, which only the host sees.

237.⚠️ Pin Lasers & Feelings. A Rolls panel should appear with Lasers and Feelings, and I'm prepared / I'm an expert each add a die. Results read as failure, complication, success or critical, and LASER FEELINGS on an exact match.

With no hero on the board, the Rolls panel says the rolls appear once there is one. How that looks has not been checked.

238.Pin Fate Core and roll. The dice should show their faces and the result in shifts. Fate points can be spent to invoke an aspect for +2.

239.Pin Worlds Without Number (SRD) and miss with a Strike against something with armour 13 or lower. It should still do Shock damage. Also worth a roll each: Cities Without Number, Knave, Dungeon World (Hack and Slash) and Masks. Every result should say critical, success, partial or failure with a sentence, in the log and on the banner.

240.Open /legal. The notices for Fate, Lasers & Feelings, Knave, Dungeon World and Masks should be there word for word. Mörk Borg is never on /legal and is only offered to an account that has been given it.

241.Note what nothing uses yet. Rulesets can carry scripts, which the host has to Approve these scripts for, under Agreements. No ruleset that ships has one, so there is nothing to approve at a table yet.

242.Open Agreements in the side rail and press Seal the dice (host). Every seat should read "Sealed tonight…" with a fingerprint under it.

243.Before the first roll, have the friend type a few words into "Add your own words to the dice" and press Add your words to the dice. The fingerprint line should say whose words went in.

244.⚠️ Roll, then try to change the dice policy. It should be locked. End the night (Part 30), then press Check the dice: the page should recompute every die and say whether they all match.

245.As the friend, press Propose a motion. Write "flanking gives +2 tonight", choose For tonight, build the change with the wizard and send it. The table votes (a majority carries it) or the host rules: I'll rule on motions / Let the table vote. A carried motion reads "carried, in force from the next scene" and comes in at 🎬 End the scene or a rest. Every step is a Rules line in the log.

246.⚠️ With DnD Max — House Rules pinned, press Safe room under Mode. The fight controls, the phone's attack row and the turn actions should disappear, not grey out, and an attack should be refused. Ordinary play brings them back.

247.Land a critical hit with that ruleset. An After the roll panel should offer Take a trophy to the roller and the host only. It rolls on Trinkets, which shows the tier first, then the find. Pressing twice never spends twice.

248.Score a critical, a first blood, or fell a foe. A 🏆 line should go in the log and under Awards. End the night: a kept hero takes it home on their sheet.

249.Under DMax's voice, choose His persona leads or The game's tone leads. Either way he should use the ruleset's own words for its numbers. Needs a narrator with credit.

250.Under DMax Presents, set snark to Savage and presence to Chatty, then roll a critical. DMax should put a line in the log, read aloud if Read narration aloud is on. Plain and polite never goes silent.

251.⚠️ Open The night so far. The night's lines, newest first. Press Didn't happen on a line and confirm: the table should go back exactly to just before it, dice and turn order included, and the rewind is itself a line. Let anybody seated rewind / Only I can rewind decides who may. The Replay slider steps back through the night without changing anything.

252.Forge → Play a first night → Floor One. A table should open on MAX LEVEL with five ready-made crawlers offered first in the hero picker. Two seats picking the same one get two separate copies.

253.Open the Clocks panel. It should hold the Audience meter and the Floor clock.

254.⚠️ Push the Audience to 6. The log should say "Sponsors are watching. The DM may roll on Sponsor offers." Roll Sponsor offers from the House rules panel. Below 6, no sponsor should come of it.

255.⚠️ Take a sponsor. A duty should appear under Agreements → Duties, saying when it is checked. When it is Due now, the host presses Kept or Broken; Broken applies the cost. Nothing happens without the press.

256.Roll the Loot box. The tier first, then the find. The legendary box only opens at an audience of 8 or more; Play to the camera needs 3.

257.Go through a door to the next floor. The Floor clock should go back to its start with one line in the log.

258.Switch on Safe room, then press Mark: Floor two under Milestones. A kept hero takes the milestone home and a class choice opens on their sheet.

259.Under Leaderboard, choose Ranked, for all to see (the default is Not ranked) and end the night. /leaderboards (Who did best) should show the row. Ranked, just us rows show only to people who sat at that table, and to their friends (Part 37).

260.Press Discover in the top bar. One list of public tables, live streams, shared adventures and shared pictures, with filters for Everything, Live now, Tables, Adventures and the rest. Nothing private should be on it.

261.Follow someone: Follow … on any row, or type a username into "Follow by username" and press Follow. They appear under People you follow, with an Unfollow button.

262.Have them follow you back from the second account. You should see how many follow you, their things should come first, and What they are up to shows just theirs. Two people who follow each other are friends.

263.⚠️ Open /directory. It should say "The directory is not open yet." That is correct: it stays shut until its legal paperwork is in place. Rulesets do not appear on Discover until then either.

264.As host, Agreements → Open table → Open it to everybody. The table should appear on Discover as "Open table — DMax runs it, drop in".

265.⚠️ From the second browser, open it from Discover and sit down with no character. In the hero picker press ✨ Make me somebody: a name, an ancestry and one line about them. The class always comes from the setting's own list. Five a day per seat.

266.Play a little. DMax should run it: monsters take turns, rooms read themselves, and his suggestions happen without anybody pressing Do it.

267.Press Report on the table's Discover row and say what is wrong. It should say "Thanks — the admin will look at it." As admin, /admin → Reported tables should list it with Close it to new players.

268.Press Close it to drop-ins. It should leave Discover.

269.Agreements → Go live. Give the stream a name and press Go live. It should read "🔴 Live as … — on Discover for anybody to watch", even for a private table.

270.On Discover, the table should be at the top under Live now. Open it in the second browser: the watch page shows 🔴 Live · N watching, and a watcher can never touch the table.

271.The host's Go live section should say how many are watching now and the most at once.

272.⚠️ Press End the stream. The watch page should say "This stream has ended", not a wrong-code dead end. Going live again makes a new link.

Not yet checked: how the watch page holds up with a crowd on Vercel.

273.Open a character (or your seat's face) and press Use your own picture. A picture library: My pictures, Shared library and Upload a picture. Upload one and pick it: it becomes the face.

Needs an account. Up to 4 MB a picture.

274.As DM, right-click a square with a monster on it. Under On the board, press Picture beside the piece and pick from the same library. The piece should wear it on every screen. Back to its own undoes it.

275.⚠️ In the builder, press ✨ Make a picture for this map. The words should already describe the map (its name, its rooms, their read-aloud). Change anything, press Make it. After "Drawing… (this takes a few seconds)" the map's picture should change, and it is marked as made by a picture maker.

Needs the site's picture key, or your own key (step 277). The first real picture was made on the live site on 2026-10-14 (QA pass).

276.✨ Make art is also on a piece's Picture choice and in the face picker, with the words started from the name.

277.Account → Your key for making pictures. Paste a Google key and press Use this key for pictures. Make art should then say "On your own key — no daily limit."

278.With no key anywhere, Make art should say making pictures is not switched on, and that you can add your own key. Admins are never limited; a normal account stops at the daily limit with a sentence.

279.⚠️ AI usage & credits. Which AI answered, what failed and why, tokens and estimated cost, for today, the last 7 days and the last 30. For each AI: Console says $ → Set balance, I just added $ → Add top-up, Warn me below $ → Save, and "Stop asking … when the estimate reaches $0". Refresh & check Anthropic now reads Anthropic's own figure.

280.Making pictures. It should show which key is in use (GOOGLE_API_KEY_ImageGen) and the model. Set Pictures per account per day, or tick No limit, and Save. No redeploy needed.

281.Reported tables are on the Moderation tab now, with every other kind of report (Part 44). The table from step 267 should be in the queue.

282.Art on Blob. What is served from Blob and what from the app, and how much Blob holds, by folder. Open any map afterwards: it should still load.

283.Rulesets & licence tiers. The built-in rulesets have fixed tiers; homebrew gets a choice of open, personal or blocked. Make your Part 33 homebrew open here. Take down asks for a reason, which its maker sees.

On an account, Give … hands somebody a personal ruleset, such as a homebrew or World Dungeon.

284.On /adventures/community as admin, reported adventures come first with the reasons. Pull takes one off; Put back returns it and clears its reports. Republishing never gets round a pull.

285.Press Art still to make. Nine sections by what the art is for, each job with its whole prompt, copy buttons and the filenames to save as.

286.Open /dice, the dice vault. Press Equip on a set: it should say In play, and your next roll should use it.

287.At a DMax table, open Table settings and find the persona picker (the search box "Search — try “horror”, “gentle”, “military”"). Search "horror" and pick one. DMax's lines should come in that voice.

288.On your turn, type in "Ask the DM something…" and send it. The host answers, or DMax does at a DMax table.

289.Open the log plate's Said stream. Everything the narrator has said at this table, in one place.

290.On a character's page, open Spellbook and press Add spell. Bring the character to a table: the spell should be offered as one of their actions, spending what it costs, aimed at one target.

291.⚠️ As admin, Give World Dungeon to an account. That account can pin it under Table settings → Ruleset; an account without it is refused, with a sentence. Nobody has played it in a browser.

292.Tap your piece. It is picked up and every square it can reach lights gold with a dot. The line above the board says so, and that tapping it again puts it down. Squares behind a wall stay dark.

293.Tap a lit square. It goes there in one tap, sliding, with its path drawn for a moment. No Move button.

294.Drag your piece somewhere. It comes off the board under your finger, a little bigger, snapping square to square. A dashed gold line runs from where it started, going round walls the way the server would, and a counter under the piece says "3 squares · 15 feet · 3 left".

295.Drag it further than it can go. The line and the counter turn red. Let go: out of a fight the barmaid asks "Bit far for those legs, that — go anyway?", with the piece waiting where you dropped it. Stay put sends it home; Go on then moves it.

296.Drag, then press Escape (or drag it back onto its own square). The piece goes home and nothing moves.

297.⚠️ Press ↶ Undo move (or Ctrl+Z) right after a move. It slides back on every screen. Move again, then have somebody else roll or move: the Undo button is gone. A step that set off a trap or read a room cannot be taken back.

298.In a fight, on your turn, drag past what you have left. It is refused with "That's 5 and Ilsa has only 3 left this turn, love", and the lit squares are exactly what is left.

299.Press and hold on an empty square. A gold ring closes in and it pings. Hold your own piece and drag it slowly: it never pings.

300.Open /admin → Moderation. Four cards: The queue, Find a person, Site banner, Switches. The overview's first tile is Waiting for moderation.

301.As the player, report a table, a chat line and a shelf adventure. All three show up in the one queue, each with what was said, who reported it and why, and an Open their page link. The row of buttons at the top filters by kind and counts each.

302.Report the same chat line from a second account. It stays one card with two reports on it, not two cards.

303.Press Take the line down. It asks once (Yes — take the line down); the line goes from the table's chat and the card goes. Leave it on another just clears the reports.

304.On a shelf card press Take it off the shelf with an empty note: it refuses until you write one. That note is the reason the author sees.

305.Open a person's page (from a card, from Find a person, or Open their page on People & tables). It shows their tables, heroes, adventures, shelf, uploads (as pictures), anything waiting about them, and every admin action that touched them.

306.Suspend the player for a day with a reason. In their browser, reload any page: a banner says they're not signed in, why, until when, and that they can still sit at a friend's table as a guest. Signing in with the right password says the same; a wrong password still just says the username and password do not match.

307.⚠️ As the suspended player, press Ask for a second look and send a line. It lands in the admin's queue as an Appeal. Lift it lets them straight back in; Keep it closes the appeal.

308.Try to suspend yourself, or another admin. Your own page says another admin would have to; an admin's says to take admin away first.

309.Ban the player, then join one of your tables by code in their browser. They get a seat as a guest — bans are by account, the owner's choice. Their seat sign-in on a shared screen is refused.

310.Put up a site banner with a link and an end time a few minutes away. It shows on every page, for everybody, with Have a look. Close it with ×: it stays closed for you. Wait for the end time: it's gone for everybody.

311.Switch off New accounts. The sign-up form refuses with "We're not taking new names in the book just now"; signing in still works. Do the same with Table chat (typing refuses, reading works), Publishing to the community shelf and Picture uploads. Switch them all back on. Each switch is in the audit log.

312.Press 💬 Chat, bottom right. The panel should say Table chat and the box should read "Say something — /roll 2d6+1, /me waves, @name". An empty table says "Quiet so far. Somebody say something."

313.Type /roll 2d6+1. It should roll through the table's own server dice and land in the log as well as the chat. Then /me waves.

314.⚠️ Whisper, both ways. Pick the friend from the recipient list: the line under the box must read "🔒 Whispers stay between the two of you — nobody else can read them." Now whisper as the host: it must read "👁 The host can read every whisper at this table."

⚠️ These two are opposite promises an inch apart. If the wrong one shows, somebody is told a private thing is private when it is not.

As the friend, choose Whisper to the host (DM). The host's copy is labelled "🤫 whisper to you (the host)".

315.@mention the friend. Their 💬 count should go gold, not just up — gold means you, a number means something.

316.As host, Mute or unmute somebody. The muted player's box should refuse with "The host has muted you in chat for now. You can still whisper to the host.", and reading should still work.

317.⚠️ Press 🎙 Voice, bottom left, and 🎙 Join with microphone. Hold Space (or 🎙 Hold to talk) and the button should read 🎙 Talking… while held. The friend's seat circle should light while you talk.

⚠️ A real call has never been made. If Daily refuses the room, say so and stop — everything else in this part is independent.

🎥 Join with microphone and camera should put your face in your seat circle, not a bubble beside it, at 44px. Tap the seat and the camera should fill the card, with ⤢ Full screen.

Open mic should say "Open mic: everybody hears you whenever you're not muted." and give you 🔇 Mute / 🎙 Unmute.

318.As host, press 🤫 Quiet everyone. It should say "Every microphone goes off; anybody can switch theirs back on." — and the friend should be able to. Then Let them talk. From a watch link, the only offer should be 👂 Listen in, and chat should say "You're watching from the bar: you can read the chat, but not join in."

319.Open Seats and find "Sign in to a seat". Each unsigned seat should read "— not signed in; keeps nothing of their own" with Sign in to this seat beside it.

320.⚠️ Press it and use Name and password. It should take the second account's own name and password, say so, and sign only that seat in — your browser stays you. The line under it must read "Only this seat signs in — this browser stays signed in as it is. The password is checked and forgotten; this screen does not keep it."

⚠️ The tab says Name and password, not "Username and password". Issue 418 says the other thing; the screen is right and the issue is not.

A wrong password must say "That username and password do not match." and nothing else — not which half was wrong.

321.Press Use my phone → Show a code. Six digits and a QR for /seat?code=…. Open it on the phone, signed in as that account, and the seat should take them. One use, five minutes.

Wait it out and try again: "That code's gone stale. Get a new one."

322.Win something on that seat and end the night (Part 58). It should go home on their sheet, not yours.

323.⚠️ Press I. A book should open over the table — a cover in the room's colours, parchment pages, ribbon tabs down the side. B opens it too, so does 📖 Book on the hero card, 📖 on your seat, and pressing your own piece twice. Escape, I or B closes it.

⚠️ The painted art does not exist yet — sixteen pieces are queued in Content Factory MAX. What you are looking at is the coded fallback, and whether it already looks like one designed thing is the whole question.

324.Count the tabs. 🛡 Overview, 📊 Stats, 🎒 Inventory, one of ✨ Spellbook / ⚡ Moves, 📜 Details, 🏆 Awards, 🗺 Quests. Crafting is absent unless the ruleset crafts — that is Part 52.

325.⚠️ Now pin a different ruleset and open it again. The tabs should rename themselves: Road to the Golden Mic calls the fourth one 🎵 Cards & moves and health Cool; Semester calls health Stress and Awards Yearbook; a PbtA game calls it Moves. A page a ruleset has nothing for should not be there at all.

326.Open Stats. Every number should say where it comes from — "Where each number comes from" — not just what it is.

327.Open Details and Awards. Details holds the story, Traits, aspects and bonds, Your people and past. Awards holds Awards earned tonight and The party's milestones.

328.⚠️ As the host, open the book for a seat you play for. A local seat and a cast seat (Brother Matthias, Pip) should both open, and the seat plate should say "one of the cast" — not "at the table".

⚠️ This is Hotfix 462, and it was fixed twice. A cast seat used to be playable in ten places and refused in the eleventh.

⚠️ A seat taken before 2026-10-21 should have a face now (Hotfix 465/480: it is worked out every time the table is read). Open an old table, not a fresh one — a fresh one never had the bug.

329.On a phone, open the book. It should be usable at phone width, and reachable by keyboard and screen reader throughout.

330.Press 🎒 Bag on your hero card. Empty, it should say "Empty. Stand beside some treasure and press Take it."

331.Take a treasure, then use it. Each thing should offer what it actually does: Drink a potion, Hold a weapon, Wear armour, Put away. The armour should move the hero's armour number on the card, and the card should say so.

332.⚠️ Out of a fight, then in one. In a fight the panel should say "In a fight, you use things on your own turn." and refuse on anybody else's.

Use something on a friend who is across the room: "Nobody close enough to use it on."

333.Stand at a locked door with no key. It should say "No key and no picks. Find a key, or sweet-talk the DM." Give the hero a key and 🔑 Try my keys should appear; give them picks and 🪛 Pick the lock should.

334.Find coins and check 🪙 Purse. With none it reads "💰 No coin yet". A find written as "3d6 copper" should be rolled and added up.

335.⚠️ Stand beside a trader. You should get 🛒 <their name> with their stock and a price in that world's coin, a Sold out row where they have run out, and Sell <item> for <price> for things in your bag.

A trader tagged stocks:weapon (or armour, gear, consumable, magic, all) now sells the world's priced catalogue under headings, at the catalogue's prices, and never runs out — see Part 69.

336.Make a House Rules hero at /characters/new. One door, a step strip and a Review panel. Try all four ability methods, and ✨ Start from an idea — Keep, Change or Redo, and it must never roll dice for you.

337.⚠️ Watch a score do something. Strength should move attack and health, Dexterity armour and, at 15, +1 square; Swagger +1 Luck per 2 over 10. All of it positive, and all of it inside the creator only — a table hero, a pregen, a creature or a typed sheet keeps its own numbers.

338.Print the sheet, both styles. ⚠️ Nobody has printed either.

339.Bring the hero to the table and open the book's moves page. It should list this class's own nine fight moves, not the four archetypes' shared ten, plus always-on features marked "always on" or "at level N".

340.⚠️ Level the party to 3 (DM bonus buttons) and press 🧭 Choose your path. Three cards with a pitch each — a Fighter gets Guardian, Berserker, Duelist — and it is for good. Pick Guardian and a friend standing next to you should get +2 armour.

⚠️ Open a sci-fi or western adventure and look again. The same path should be called Shield trooper, or Sheriff — the mechanics the same, the name the setting's.

⚠️ The acceptance nobody can test for you: two Fighters, or a Fighter and a Marine, should play differently by level 3. If they still feel like the same hero, say so.

341.⚠️ Open Knacks: for outside a fight. Three buttons. Press the light one (Lantern, or Glowstick, or Neon flare) and the board should light. Press the dark-sight one (Owl eyes) and check it lasts until the next rest. Press the lock one (Bust it open, Door hack) at a shut door.

The finding one (Keen eye, Motion tracker) should find a trap — the same traps Part 57 springs.

Your people and past should give a trait or two and a background skill, and a Human and a Gnome should no longer be the same hero with two names.

342.Start a fight and right-click a piece. Under the piece there should be a row of twelve condition icons. Press one and it should light.

⚠️ The icon is the only label. Hover or arrow to each and check the names read: Poisoned, Stunned, Prone, Unconscious, Burning, Charmed, Frightened, Invisible, Petrified, Blessed, Dead, Muted. A lit one should say "<Name> — press to clear".

343.⚠️ Poison a goblin and play two rounds. It should do something — damage, a save, and a plain-English line when it runs out. Until 2026-10-15 every condition in this app was a picture and nothing else.

344.⚠️ Look at the whole piece, not the badge. Poisoned should bubble, burning should flame, stunned should spin a ring of stars, frightened should edge violet, petrified should wash stone-grey. At most two at once, and dead keeps its skull.

⚠️ They are drawn in code today; a painted set is listed in Content Factory MAX and each will replace its coded one the moment it is approved. Say if any of them is too loud to read the board through.

345.⚠️ Fight a boss and a plain creature from the same pack. All 76 built-in creatures were rewritten: each should have its own attacks and traits, and a boss should have lair actions. Every monster in this app hit for 1d6 until 2026-10-15.

346.⚠️ Let a monster's turn come up at a table you run. A floating card should appear, headed "For the DM: a monster's turn", saying "<Name> is up. What does it do?" — with ▶ Run its turn, I'll move it myself, Skip its turn and Always run monsters' turns for me.

Press I'll move it myself: it should select the piece and the card should step aside until the next monster.

A table where monsters run themselves should never see this card.

347.⚠️ Set Table settings → How fast it plays those turns to Slow, and run a busy fight. The beat should last the whole loop — Brisk about half a second, Steady about a second, Slow long enough to read a swing callout.

⚠️ It used to stop beating after ten turns, which arrived exactly when a fight got interesting. An old table should answer Steady.

348.⚠️ Hide a monster from the players, then try to attack it as the host. It should be in your target list, because your board draws it. Until 2026-10-23 you could see a rat, be offered your own party, and be told you could not hit what you could not see.

349.⚠️ Put a Rat, a Giant rat, a Goblin sneak and a Goblin slinger on the board. Any with no drawing should be a disc with two letters — Ra, GR, GS, GS — not four identical Rs.

⚠️ A picture is still the answer. Two letters is the honest limit until the token batches are drawn.

An approved Giant rat drawing must beat a one-word shelf match for rat: exactness outranks provenance now.

350.⚠️ Look at the names under the pieces. "Brother Matthias" should show in full on one line (name · class where that fits, the name alone where it does not, the whole thing on hover), and the gold YOU badge should sit on its own piece's bottom corner — not above it, where the name of the piece on the square above hangs.

351.In the builder, open a creature's Quest box. It should be an editor now: Gives the party a quest called, What they ask, in a line, and + Add a step.

352.Build "Bring Dot's pills". A Get an item step for Dot's pills; rewards Experience 150 and Items her lucky bus token; tick Handed in back here: pays out at the giver, who takes what was fetched.

Add a second way with "One way to do it:" and check either is enough. Add a Fails if and check it ends the quest.

Then gives a quest called should chain into the next one.

353.⚠️ Play it. Stand a hero next to Dot. The quest should start, and 📜 Quests should show the step, the branches, what fails it, what it pays, and "handed in at Dot".

354.⚠️ Walk away without the pills and stand beside her. It must not pay out. Until 2026-10-22 "Bring Dot's pills" finished without the pills.

355.Come back with them. The step should tick itself, the pills should leave the bag, 150 XP and the bus token should arrive, and the log should say so.

356.As host, hand one in from the log (Mark it done — the party earns experience), and Strike it out of the log on another. With everything done it should read "Every quest's done. Somebody out there will need a hand soon enough."

⚠️ The phone has no quest log yet (Issue 424). The 📱 controller is where it is missing.

357.⚠️ At a House Rules table, open the hero book. There should now be a 🔨 Crafting tab — and at a table whose ruleset has no recipes there should be no tab at all, not an empty one.

358.Take four treasures. About one in four should carry a recipe page, and every find should carry ingredients. Buy some from a trader, and Take apart for parts on something you do not want.

359.⚠️ Open Crafting and press Make it. It should list recipes, say what you lack, roll the ruleset's check, and give you the better version on a great roll, the thing as written on a fine one, and a dud on a miss — spending the ingredients either way. Then use what you made.

A recipe you only know from a carried page should stop being known when you drop the page.

360.Do it again at the band's table and at Semester's. The page should be called Merch table and Cram night, and DMax should have a line about what you made.

361.Press 🎲 Tables & oracle on the table. Under Ask the oracle, type "Is the guard asleep?", leave How likely is it? on 50/50, and press Ask. The answer should arrive as 🔮 … and go in the table log for everybody.

362.⚠️ Ask the same question at Almost certain and at Almost impossible. The odds should visibly matter, and sometimes you should get "Yes, and…" or "No, but…". A double should throw in a twist from the world's complications.

363.Roll the world's tables. The section should be headed with the world's own name, and hold names, manners, rumours, weather, complications, encounters in the wilds, in town and below, dressing, and treasure by tier that hands over real items — check one lands in a hero's bag with its rules.

364.Open a sci-fi adventure and press it again. The library should be that world's, whatever the ruleset, with This ruleset's tables beside it where the ruleset has any.

The rest of Issue 425 landed on 2026-10-24: about thirty tables per world, a priced catalogue, traders that sell from it, DMax rolling any of it, and the builder putting one on a chest or a chart. That is Part 69.

365.Open the host panel "What the party can see". Four controls: How the dark lifts, This map's own light, Places they've been and What each hero sees.

366.⚠️ Set How the dark lifts to "By torchlight: they see what's lit and in sight", and This map's own light to "Pitch dark: only what's lit, or seen in the dark". The board should go dark except where a light is, with a soft, warm flicker under the shading — and the flicker must never show through a wall.

⚠️ A colour wash no test can judge. Say if it is too busy to read the map through, and check it holds still with reduced motion on.

⚠️ Every existing table stays on "By your hand", and a map nobody has set stays in daylight. Nothing should have gone dark by surprise.

367.⚠️ Give a hero a torch and walk them down a corridor. Four squares should be bright and four more dim, round rather than square, and the light should stop at a wall rather than bend round it.

368.⚠️ Set Places they've been to "Stay on their map, greyed out, with nobody drawn there", walk through a room and leave. It should stay greyed with nobody drawn in it. Switch to "Go dark again once nobody can see them" and it should go black.

Open a door for a glimpse, then shut it. The party should remember what they saw through it.

369.⚠️ Set What each hero sees to "Each hero only sees what they can see: they'll have to tell each other", and put the two heroes in different rooms. Each player's screen should draw only theirs; yours and the projector should still show the party's.

⚠️ Then open the friend's network tab. A monster only the other hero can see should not be in what they were sent — the server narrows every snapshot now. The issue warned that it used to be in the data and merely not drawn, so this is the check that it really went.

370.⚠️ Play a dwarf, then a human, on House Rules at a pitch-dark table. The dwarf should see 12 squares of darkness (60 ft) and the human none. A drow sees 24. A ruleset that says nothing gives none. A monster's darkvision must never become the party's eyes.

Your own number typed onto a piece should still win.

371.Turn a screen reader on as a player and walk into sight of something. It should say "Now in sight: Goblin boss. Out of sight: Skeleton." — politely, and only when it changes.

372.⚠️ Put the mouse down. Focus your hero's square and press Enter. It should say "Holding Bryn. Use the arrow keys to pick a square, Enter to move there, Escape to put them down." Arrow twice, Enter, and the hero moves. Escape should put a held piece back down.

⚠️ Found by QA on 2026-10-21 as "there is no keyboard way to move a hero". There was; nothing said so, which is the same bug.

Still unchecked: two pieces on one square — Enter should cycle.

The first time a light-mode map goes pitch dark, DMax should say one dry line in the table log.

373.⚠️ Stand a hero at an exit, as the friend, and propose going on. Everybody seated should get a yes / not yet, and your card should have Go now and Not now — the host can always call it. This now happens at every table opened from an adventure, not only DMax's.

374.Open the atlas (🗺 The world so far, or the Doors panel's whole- adventure view) and press "Where to next?". It should say "The party votes on it; the host can call it either way."

375.⚠️ Travel, and watch the page. The picture, the board and the rooms should change without the page reloading.

⚠️ Going through a door called window.location.reload() until 2026-10-21, on all three travel paths. The race that hid behind the reload was only closed on 2026-10-23, so this is worth doing three or four times quickly: the new map's state must be saved before anything announces it.

376.Find Let time pass and press An hour, then Until morning. A table clock with the day and the time of day should move, for everybody.

377.⚠️ On a miles map, press 🧭 Set off for and pick a square. It should estimate ("about 2 days"), the party should vote, and then the road should: move the party, run the clock at 3 miles an hour, 8 hours a day, camp between, burn a lit torch an hour and light the next, eat a ration per hero at each supper — and say who went hungry.

It should roll the ruleset's road table once a day (House Rules' is On the road) and hand DMax a journey to tell.

A starter kit should already carry spare torches and three days' rations. If it does not, nobody can finish this step.

378.Do the same journey on Dungeon World. Trailblazer, Scout Ahead and Quartermaster should all roll, with their effects applied.

379.Put a party marker on a region or world map and drag it a long way. It should still just go — a move budget is a tactical idea, not a fortnight on the road. (The same check as step 88, now that journeys exist to confuse it with.)

380.⚠️ Open an adventure in the builder. The "They published a new version" panel should be gone. In its place, folded and closed, is Bring in a newer version of somebody else's adventure.

⚠️ Every adventure, including a brand-new one of your own, used to open with a panel announcing that somebody had done something. Nobody had.

381.⚠️ Arm Place a light and tap a square. Set its bright and dim reach and a colour; it should glow on the builder's board and appear in the Lights list, where you can change it or put it out. A typed square should work too.

382.⚠️ Arm Slanted wall and drag. A wall between grid corners, straight or freehand. It should stop sight, light, feet and attacks — play the map and check a goblin behind one is out of reach and its ring is gone.

383.Press Take this map to another table (.dd2vtt). It should write walls, doors, lights and the picture. Bring it back in through our own importer and it should come back unchanged — including its lights, which used to be thrown away on import.

384.⚠️ Find the Floors panel and press + Floor above. A new floor the same size, with stairs on both, linked. The builder should list the building's floors to jump between, and the atlas should label them.

385.Use the layer buttons: Art, Rooms, Things, Walls, Lights, DM only. Hiding one should change only your screen.

386.⚠️ Mark a door secret, then play it. To the players it is a plain wall and they are never told it is a door — check their screen and their network tab. In your Secret doors panel press Reveal it and it should become an ordinary door in the Doors list.

387.Open the rail's chat and pick Dwarfy or Brother Matthias. Try all five: Check my map, Balance this fight, Write the read-aloud, Make art for this room, Add a side quest here. Every suggestion should arrive as an Apply / Skip line, go through the builder's own edit path, and be undoable.

There is an Ask Dwarfy box in the character creator too, answering from the ruleset's own options.

⚠️ Nobody has talked to either of them against a live model.

388.⚠️ Deal a run and walk a hero onto a trap. It should do something: a pit drops you prone, gas poisons, a blade cuts, a rune frightens — each with a save. Until 2026-10-21 a trap fired into a note for the DM and nothing else.

389.⚠️ Open a table you dealt last week and press 🔎 Search for traps. It should roll Perception and find traps within 3 squares — on a table dealt before any of this existed, with nothing to migrate.

Then 🛠 Disarm a trap beside a found one: it rolls Dexterity against a number that was unreachable by anybody until 2026-10-23.

The knack that finds traps (Part 49) should find these too.

390.⚠️ Grab the ⠿ handle on the turn order strip and drag it. It should move, stay there on this device, come home on ↺ or a double-click, and go away on ×. Do the same to what DMax is saying and to what just happened (the fight's results).

⚠️ Never seen at a real table. Start a fight with DMax talking and say whether the three of them now land anywhere sensible on a busy board. That is the one thing no test here can see.

The projector should keep them pinned — handles do not belong on the screen the players are watching.

391.⚠️ Drag a plate up as far as it will go. It should stop at the site header's own bottom edge, not the top of the board — that inch is a plate's to use. On the projector, which has no header, it should stop at the top of the window.

392.Check what is deliberately not a plate. The character book, the square dialog, the night's tale, the welcome, the atlas, the voice gallery and a seat being called are modals: they dim the screen and own it, and that is on purpose.

393.⚠️ As host, in session, find 🧱 Put on the map. After Wall and Door it should offer Creature, Trap, Treasure, Thing and Note. It used to offer only the first two.

Arm Creature, press a square: the square's dialog should open already pointed at a creature, with Onto the board beside it.

Escape puts the brush down, and so does placing one thing — a mode that kept firing on the next square you tapped would be worse than no mode.

394.Drag a straight line with the Wall tool along a row. A whole wall. Keyboard: Enter for south, Shift+Enter for east, Esc to stop.

395.⚠️ Press 🏁 End the adventure on the table. Three answers: 🎉 We won: end the adventure, We fell, Just stop here for tonight. It should write the night's card either way.

⚠️ A table the host runs had no ending except a button buried in Table settings, and showed no summary.

396.⚠️ Three ways the host should be asked, without pressing anything: when the party falls, when there is nowhere onward, and when the main quest is done. Finish the adventure with one rat still alive and you should still be asked — until 2026-10-23 that case ended nothing.

397.⚠️ Shut the tab and come back in three hours. The three-hour auto-close should have written the night's card, with its numbers on it. That ending wrote nothing at all until 2026-10-23, and it is what a host who closes a laptop actually does.

Setup: a table you can leave alone for three hours.

398.⚠️ Look at What tonight cost, in Table settings beside What DMax has cost tonight, and again on the ending card. Host only, read from real counts and never estimated: dollars on the site's keys, the table's own key apart, DMax's lines by kind, and the voice — characters spoken, the share played free from saved clips, how many were made new. With nothing spoken it should say "Nothing spoken aloud yet."

399.⚠️ Run DMax past 80% of the table's cap. A ⏳ pill should appear on the board for the host, saying how many lines are left and what to do — and it must never appear on a table with its own key. An admin raising the cap under DMax's daily caps should take effect on the next line, mid-night.

400.⚠️ Turn Read narration aloud on with no voice key. DMax should go quiet — no computer voice — with one plain note by the switch saying which of the four reasons it is, and the note should clear itself the moment a real line plays.

⚠️ Listen to a whole fight. Monsters' turns should come from written lines with no AI call — the screen names the creature, the voice says "It…" — and a boss's turn should still sound written for it. DMax should rerun one of his own good lines about half the time. Whether that reads as thrifty or as repetitive is the only question, and only a night can answer it.

401.Forge → Play a first night → Open Mic at the Rusty Anchor. A table on Road to the Golden Mic: health is Cool, the stats are Chops / Stage / Soul / Hustle, and the heroes are Lux Ferreira, Jett Marlowe, Ivy Quill, Dez Crane in roles Frontperson / Shredder / Drummer / Bassist / Producer.

402.Open the hero book. The fourth tab should be 🎵 Cards & moves, and 🔨 should say Merch table.

403.⚠️ Start the contest "Rusty Anchor: Hype". Its opponents should stand on the board as pieces that never fight — press one for its moves. The panel's buttons should stay as well, for a table with no map. The meters should read "(fill to win)", "(fills, you lose)" and "(a rival)", and it should end itself with Won! or Lost.

404.⚠️ Have every hero move, and then stop pressing anything. The round should turn itself, and the panel should say who it is waiting on first. The host's button should still work as an override.

At a DMax table, the opponents should act by themselves as the round turns.

405.⚠️ Use a no-dice move. A sure +1 once a round instead of a roll, paid in the hero's vital, a resource, or a card from their hand. Press it twice in a round and the second should be refused.

406.Draw a hand from the setlist and play a card. It should roll the move the card names — the same roll as the move's own button — and go to the discard. Everybody should see "What everybody else is holding", and with nobody seated it should say "Sit a hero on the board to draw a hand." The host can shuffle it all back.

⚠️ The music does not exist. The player, the captions and the mute are built and there is nothing to play: making it is shelved with the AI budget. Check the controls, expect silence.

407.⚠️ Now Forge → Play a first night → Welcome Week, on Semester. Health is Stress, the stats are Smarts / Charm / Grit / Chill, and play on spotlight turns through Rush Week to Week 14: FINALS WEEK. The Rumour Mill, The Crush and The Roommate should each do something, and 📖 <the yearbook> should open with Print it — "No superlatives yet. There's still time." until somebody earns one. The hero book's 🏆 tab is Yearbook here and 🔨 is Cram night.

⚠️ Still to do, so do not go looking: the dean, the roommate and the professor as DM personas; the drawn yearbook; and the campus as linked maps.

408.Forge → ✨ The Idea Forge: turn an idea into a whole game. The page should be headed Turn an idea into a game, with examples to press.

409.⚠️ Type "running a food truck in a city of monsters", answer the six questions, and press ✨ Draft my game. You should get back a whole game: Stats, Who you can be, Moves, How heroes grow, Ready-made heroes, and their faces, Opponents on the board, and what they look like, 🎤 Instead of a fight, 🏆 The finale, and The first night.

Change a face (No face is allowed) and an opponent's look (A plain disc is allowed). Every pick should be yours to change before anything is kept.

What the Forge filled in should say what it decided for you.

410.⚠️ Press ▶ Keep it and play it now. One press should keep it in your Forge, deal its first night, open a table, pin the ruleset and walk you in. Keep it in my Forge alone should say Kept in your Forge.

⚠️ Nobody has ever drafted one against a real model. Every draft so far came from the no-key fallback, which works from your own words. If the live site has a key, this step is the first real one.

411.Open it in the Forge's editor. Every part should be editable and testable on the test bench, like any homebrew. Twenty drafts a day per account; it should say how many are left.

412.Press ▶ Play DMax Crawler. It is on the home page, on /leaderboards, on the Forge's Play a first night card and on Discover. One press should open a table on Season 1: Dead Mall, with MAX LEVEL pinned, DMax running it, ranked in public, and the dice sealed without anybody pressing anything.

413.⚠️ Now try to cheat, one at a time. Each should be refused in words: rigging a chart, the DM's fudge, Didn't happen / rewind, a save restore, editing the map or a square or a wall or a door or a room, adding a house rule, a motion, pinning a ruleset or homebrew, changing the DM, the DM's manual controls, and unranking the table.

⚠️ This is the whole point. A board that can be gamed is worse than no board, and twelve refusals is twelve chances for one of them to be silent instead of refusing.

414.Play a floor and watch the audience. On a Crawl it should move from facts, not from the host's hand, and the floor clock should run on the round.

415.End the night and open /leaderboards (Who did best). Your row should be on the DMax Crawler board, not Everything else, tagged with the run, the season, the version, the bracket, the maps, the rounds and a 🎲 sealed badge, and it should link to its Check the dice page.

Play a casual MAX LEVEL night and check it lands on Everything else instead.

Fan favourite is its own board; Solo and Party are separate.

416.As admin, Publish the Crawl and End the season. An ended season's board should archive, and the new run should be the one the button opens.

⚠️ Not built yet: the This week / All time toggle and the replay link.

417.⚠️ At a DMax table, ask him "anything special about this room?" He should answer about this room — its name, its read-aloud, who is standing in it. Until 2026-10-15 the model was handed a persona paragraph and the beat's labels, and nothing else: no map, no room, no heroes, no positions.

418.⚠️ Turn Trust DMax on and leave him to it for a whole night. He should be able to take the party through a door, open or unlock a door or a locked chest, finish a quest, award experience, apply a hazard's damage, set a condition, show the party a room, call a rest, get the fallen up and end the night — each with a "DMax: …" line in the log, and no host press at all.

⚠️ A test plays two whole nights to the end with no presses, and nobody has sat at a real one with a live model.

New creatures should still wait in Suggestions.

419.⚠️ Press "Can I do this?" and ask "Swing from the chandelier onto the ogre?" Press Look it up. It should answer one of three — Allowed, Allowed, with a roll (with which check and a number), or Not in the rules. The DM's call — and name the rule it used ("One rule it mentioned is…"). A rule it invents must be dropped and never shown.

A suggested check should become a Roll it button for your hero.

With no narrator key the word-match should answer in the browser instead, and still never invent a rule.

420.Open "What this table remembers" as host. It should list what DMax is going on, and let you correct it — type "The innkeeper is lying about the well." and check he uses it.

421.Play two nights in a row on the same table. The second should open with an arc across them, and DMax should say a word to one player that the others do not get.

These four were built on 2026-09-07 and have never had a step.

422.Turn Read narration aloud on and listen. Each persona should have their own generated voice on every screen, the projector included — DMax, Brother Matthias and six more. Audition and change them at /admin/voices.

⚠️ Not yet heard against the live key. The same line twice should be paid for once (it is cached by hash).

423.As admin, Give World Dungeon to an account. As that account, pin it under Table settings → Ruleset. An account without it should be refused, with a sentence.

424.⚠️ Build a crawler. A 28-step creator following the book's ten steps, the full ten-row stat chart (1 is +1 up to 300+ is +10), and starting gear by the book. Check a Mod printed on a pregen sheet matches the chart.

30 races and 52 classes should be behind a The Third Floor milestone, and locked before it.

425.⚠️ Run Floor One: The Bogbricks, nine maps. 275 creatures with their own attacks, six loot-box tiers whose rolls put real items in the bag, 7 achievements, 115 skills, 54 spells, 22 debuffs, and a check button per stat reading Critical, Amazing Success, Near Miss, Major Fail and the rest.

426.Try to put it in a file or on the community shelf. The personal-copy refusal should stop you, in words.

⚠️ Nobody has built a crawler or run the floor. Known gaps: rank damage dice and rank caps are applied by hand, unopened boxes do not carry between nights, and floors 2+ are a design note.

427.Press 🏭 Content Factory, beside Admin in the header. (On a phone or a narrow window it is inside the hamburger.) The page should be headed Content Factory MAX.

428.Queue a picture, a job, a group and the next N, then press Start making. The queue should say why it is waiting when it is. Approve, redo (same or edited words) and reject one each in the review tray, and try Approve all. An approved job should sink to the bottom, and Hide approved should hide it.

429.⚠️ Press a picture in the built-and-approved job list at the bottom. It should open big, on that one, with ← → walking this job's other pictures, Esc closing it, and focus landing back on the thumbnail you came from. The thumbnails should be 76px, not the size of a skittle.

430.Open the Look drawer. Page width and Picture size — Small (44px), Medium (76px), Large (128px) — kept on this computer. One choice should change both the job-list thumbnails and how tightly the grid packs.

431.Switch the picture maker on the page, and try More like this. It should make a different picture, not the same one again. Pictures and clips should run in two lanes.

432.⚠️ Open the Files on Cloudflare R2 card. It should say what is connected and how much is where, with Copy player uploads to R2 and Copy art factory pictures to R2 — safe to press again, since anything already there is skipped.

⚠️ A player upload to R2 has never been seen live. Upload a picture as a normal account and check it serves.

Open a map afterwards: it should still load.

433.Press Art still to make. Every outstanding prompt, with its whole text, copy buttons and the filename to save as. ⚠️ Every spot in Hotfix 450's list has a request and its wiring now; what is left is art nobody has drawn. A job whose filename does not match what the app reads is this hotfix's own failure mode — if a made picture does not show up anywhere, that is what happened.

434.Open the usage page and the voices page. Which AI answered, what failed and why, tokens and estimated cost; and every narrator's voice to audition and Pick.

435.⚠️ Read the front room, the shelves, the builder, the creator, the Forge, Discover and the admin pages. Every screen on the site should be in the barmaid's voice — or DMax's, at the table. No software words anywhere.

⚠️ This is the one part that is only reading, and it is waiting on your read-through before it can be ticked. A test checks 321 files for the guide's software words; it cannot tell you whether a sentence sounds like her.

436.Press the width button in the top bar. Three tiers — Comfortable, Wide, Full screen, cycling — and forms must never change width: a join box 1,700 pixels wide is not a feature. On a 2560-wide screen the pages should use the space.

437.Open the Guide and find the seven newer topics: table chat, voice and video, the bag, signing in at a shared screen, where awards are, Dwarfy, and real voices. The guide should answer What ends a game? too.

438.Open a character's page and find 🏆 Awards — name, adventure, date. A ready-made or class hero has no account sheet, so its awards stay with the night, and that is correct.

439.⚠️ At a DMax table, watch him come out of the card. See-through over the map, the green taken out in the browser, each cue playing its clip and settling back to the home frame.

440.Drag him round the board, move him with the arrow keys, and try all three sizes. He should stay where you put him.

441.Open the projector view and the phone controller. On the TV he is on the map; on a phone he is a bubble.

442.⚠️ Roll a critical, fell something, and go through a door. A different clip each time. 34 of DMax's 36 are approved — noddingoff and dicetower are not, so two cues will fall back to the home frame. That is expected, not a bug.

443.On a house-rules table, knock a hero to zero and pass the turn round twice. They should go down, the skull should be on them, and nothing else should happen: no count, no pips, no save in the log, no Steady button. Today's behaviour, untouched.

444.⚠️ Now on Knave: knock a hero to zero and let the turn come round to them. The fight log should show a Constitution save against DC 10 and a line saying how far along they are — “1 of 3 bad”. Three pips sit under the skull on the piece, filling red as the bad rolls come.

445.Let it run out. On Knave the third failure says “They are gone”. On MAX LEVEL it is two failures and says “out for the night” instead. Same engine, different sentence — the ruleset chose it.

446.⚠️ Move another hero next to the one who is down, on that hero's turn. 🤲 Steady ‹name› appears over the board, beside Get everyone back up, and says how many bad rolls there have been. Press it: win or lose, that hero's turn is spent.

447.Check that steadying does not get them up. A steadied hero is still down, still skull-marked, and the pips stop. Getting them up is a potion, a healing move, or Get everyone back up — as before.

448.Stand two squares away and look for the button. It should not be there. Press it from the wrong hero's turn and the app should say to wait for your turn — not go quiet.

449.On MAX LEVEL, keep going until somebody rolls a natural 20 while down. They come back up on one hit point and the count is forgotten. On Knave a 20 is just a good roll; nobody pops back up.

450.Heal a counting hero with a potion, then pass the turn. The count should be gone, not waiting — the next time they fall over they start from nothing.

451.Open a table, sit down, then open /games/<the table>/controller on your phone (the table screen's 📱 Phone controller link). It should head itself with your hero, your health, a row of what you can spend (Luck, Mana — whatever your ruleset calls it) and a line for anything wrong with you: Poisoned · 2 rounds, and what it does.

452.Start a fight and wait for your turn. The phone should buzz twice, long, and say Your turn! with how many squares of walking are left. It should buzz again when you take a hit (a stutter), when the narrator asks you to roll, when a fight starts, when you are standing on treasure, and once — one long buzz — when you go down.

⚠️ It should not buzz for anything else. A phone that buzzes when anybody moves a piece is a phone you turn face down.

453.Look at your moves. Every move the table's own bar offers should be here, each with its price on it: Mend — 3 Mana. One you cannot afford should still be there, saying 3 Mana — you have 2, and the engine refuses it in a sentence when you press it.

⚠️ This is the hole 424 filled. The phone used to drop every healing spell and never showed a price at all.

454.Press a healing move. The buttons under it should change from enemies to your friends, nearest first, with who is hurt — and yourself, because "Heals yourself" is a real spell.

455.Open 🎒 your bag. Wear and hold things, use a potion on yourself or on a friend beside you, hand something over, drop it, try your keys on a locked chest, buy from a trader standing next to you. It is the table's own bag panel, so anything it refuses there it refuses here.

456.Press 📖 Your book. Tabs across the top, one page filling the screen: Overview, Stats, Inventory, Details, Awards, Quests, Notes, Whispers, and Said to you when the narrator has said something to you alone.

457.Write in Notes. It saves itself a second after you stop typing and again when the phone goes in your pocket. Come back next week and it should still be there.

With no account it should say why, in words, and say that everything else on the phone works without one. That is the only page on this screen that asks who you are.

458.Whisper to the DM from Whispers, and read what they say back. Same chat as the table's, same unread marks.

459.Ask "Can I do this?" and press Roll it when the answer is allowed, with a roll. The check should land on your phone as a button.

460.Turn the wifi off for ten seconds. The phone should say it has lost the table and come back by itself — no reload. Leave the page for a minute and come back: it should be current straight away.

461.Press Add it (or Share → Add to Home Screen) and open it from your home screen. It should open on your hero, in its own window, with no browser bar. Open it with no signal at all and it should say so in a sentence rather than showing the browser's error page.

⚠️ Not tested on a real iPhone or Android. Everything above was checked in a desktop browser at phone size.

462.Press 🎲 Tables & oracle and scroll the world's list. It should run to about thirty tables, not ten: place names, what they want, what they're hiding, how they take you, what ails them, last words, who runs things, where people drink, why you're here, work going, what's in it for you, omens, twists, what's in the way, what the room was for, the door, traps, what you learn, a sound from somewhere, and Action and Theme for when yes-or-no is not enough.

463.Roll Treasure three or four times. Every find should be a thing: a name, what it does, and a price in this world's coin. Check one lands in a hero's bag and that 🎒 Bag says what it does.

464.⚠️ Open the same table in each world and roll Treasure. Fantasy pays in gold, sci-fi in credits, cyberpunk in eddies, the west in dollars, the pirate world in gold, the apocalypse in coins. Nothing should ever turn up priced in another world's money.

465.As the DM with "the DM may choose a result" on, press Choose on a world table. The lines should be listed and picking one should work, the same as on the ruleset's own tables.

466.⚠️ Build a shop. In the builder, put a creature on a map, tag it trader and stocks:weapon and stocks:armour, and run it. Stand a hero beside them: the panel should be headed Weapons and Armour with the world's own prices, and nothing sold out — a town shop restocks.

stocks:all gives the whole catalogue in five headings, in a box that scrolls rather than a wall of fifty rows.

467.Buy something and sell it straight back. You pay the catalogue's price, and they pay you their share of that same price — half, by default. Never more than you paid: the price is the worth.

468.⚠️ Buy with too little coin. "That costs N <coin>, and the party has …", and the buy should not happen. Ask for something off a shelf they do not keep and it should say they do not sell that.

469.⚠️ On Without Number or Cities Without Number, stand beside the same trader. They should sell the ruleset's own gear list at the ruleset's prices, not the world's — that is the owner's "rulesets fold in". On Fate, Knave, Dungeon World, Masks or Mörk Borg, which ship no prices, it is the world's catalogue.

470.⚠️ In the builder, open a treasure square and set "Rolls the world's". Pick Treasure, save, and run it. Opening the chest should roll that world's treasure then, put a real item in the finder's bag, and say so in the table log.

The same adventure in another world should give that world's goods. The pointer is to the table, never to one item.

471.In the builder's Charts rail, open a chart and use "From a world". Pick a world and one of its tables, press Fill from it, and the lines should arrive as chart rows you can delete one by one. Point a creature square at it and run the adventure.

472.⚠️ Let DMax run the night and watch for rolls. He can now ask for roll-table and oracle: a treasure roll, an encounter, a name, the weather, or a yes/no question. Under Trust DMax both run by themselves; without it they wait on Agree, which should read "Roll on Treasure" or "Ask the oracle: … (Unlikely)".

He never writes the result. Every number in the log came from the table's own dice, and if he names a table that does not exist the app says so and rolls nothing.

473.Open /dice and look at the bottom section, "What other people have made". Every row should draw real dice, rolling, with the set's name, what it is, and who made it as a link. The order should be Most liked to start with, and the two buttons — Most liked and Newest — should reorder the list the moment you press them, with no wait.

474.⚠️ Press the heart on somebody else's set. The count goes up by one and the heart fills in. Press it again and it goes back down: a like is one per account and you can take it back. Reload the page — it should still be there, and still be yours.

475.⚠️ Try to like your own set. Your own rows show the count as words ("3 people like this") and no heart at all. If you reach it another way, it should say "You cannot like your own set" and say why the count matters.

476.Press the maker's name on any row. You should land on their page — everything they have in the pool, most liked first, with the total across the lot. Equip one from there; it should work exactly as it does on /dice.

Your own name takes you to your own page, which shows only what you published. A set you have not published is in your vault, not there.

A person with nothing in the pool is a 404, not an empty page with their name on it.

477.⚠️ Press "Something wrong?" on somebody else's set and send a reason. It should thank you by changing to "You reported this", and the set should stay in the pool — nothing waits for review. Your name is never shown to anybody.

478.Try to report your own set. It should point you at the button that actually works: take it out of the pool yourself, from your own list.

479.⚠️ As an admin (DNDMAX_ADMIN_USERNAMES has your username), look at the same rows. Each gets a dashed Admin box with the report count, what people wrote, Pick it out and Take it out of the pool. Press Pick it out: a Worth a look row should appear above the list with that set in it.

Pick out a seventh and it should refuse — the row holds six, and the sentence says so. Take one out of the row and the seventh goes in.

You can pick out one of the app's own sets too. They are in code, not in the database, and this still works on them.

480.⚠️ As an admin, take a set out of the pool with a reason. It leaves the shared list for everybody else at once, and leaves the Worth a look row with it.

481.⚠️ Sign back in as the maker and look at that set in your own list. There should be a red-edged line saying who took it out, why, that it is still yours, and to ask an admin — that is the whole point of this step. The pictures should still be there and the dice should still roll.

482.⚠️ As the maker, press Publish on the set that was taken out. It should refuse, in words — not appear to work and put nothing anywhere. Then press Take out of the pool: that should still work, because taking your own thing out is never the harder of the two.

483.Check the one moderation queue. On /admin, the Moderation tab should have a Dice sets kind with your report waiting on it, naming the set, what it is and the maker — and not who reported it. Leave it in the pool clears the reports; Take it out of the pool does the same pull, with your note as the reason the maker reads.

484.As an admin, put it back. The set returns to the pool, its reports are cleared, and the maker's Publish works again.

485.On a phone. The whole pool at 390 points wide: the rows should stack, the dice should still roll, and the heart, Equip and "Something wrong?" should all be reachable without sideways scrolling.

486.Night one: walk a hero up to somebody and press 💬 Talk to. Type something and, instead of Say it, press one of the three new buttons: 🙏 Talk them round, 😠 Lean on them, 🎭 Lie to them. A roll should appear for that hero, named after the check (Persuasion, Intimidation, Deception).

On a phone, the same three buttons should be under the box.

487.⚠️ Roll it, and read the log. The number is the engine's. If the band changed, there should be a line saying so in words — "The innkeeper is wary towards the party now, where they were neutral" — and DMax's reply should be about what you were trying to do, not about the room.

Roll badly on a lie and she catches it. Roll well and she believes it. Both are remembered; only the first is remembered by her.

488.End the night (or shut the tab and come back three hours later, which is the commonest way a night really ends). Then open the rail's The campaign panel.

489.⚠️ Read the night's record. One row for the evening, with what the game recorded: where you went, who you met and how they took it, what you took on and finished, what you found, who went down. Under it, in quotation marks, a sentence DMax wrote on his own — nobody pressed anything for it.

Rewrite it should put your words in its place, badged your words.

Take it away should leave the row with every fact and no sentence. That is the whole of "edit or undo": the facts are never yours to change and the sentence always is.

490.Copy this card. The newest night as something to paste into a group chat. Check it in a message to yourself: it should read as a night, and it should be the game's words rather than DMax's.

491.⚠️ Read "People who know you". The person from step 486, with a face and a word for how they feel, how many nights they have met you, and They remember: the lie they caught. Your own secret line — what they are hiding, and anything they do not know — should be in the gold text, which no player can fetch.

Write them should let you change how they seem, what they want and what they are hiding. There should be no way at all to type how they feel: that is the dice' business.

492.Night two: play a little, talk to the same person, end the night. Their record should say 2 nights, and keep the earlier conversation.

493.⚠️ Night three. Press "📖 Have DMax read the recap now". Everybody should hear a Previously on… that names last week's real events — the person you met, the place you went, the quest still open. That is the acceptance criterion.

If he names anybody this table has never met, you get the plain version instead and nothing invented reaches the table. There is no way to make him do that on purpose; if you ever see a name you do not recognise, that is a bug worth reporting.

494.⚠️ Talk to that same person again on night three. They should answer like somebody who knows you: cold if you were caught lying, warm if you have been buying from them. This is the second half of the criterion.

495.⚠️ Press "Ask DMax what he sees". He should offer a story out of your own record — who is behind it, what they want, what it costs, and the next few beats — naming only people and places you have really met.

This is our story puts it in every night's prompt. Not that one is permanent: he will never offer that villain again.

Tick a beat off and the next one becomes the one he works towards.

Write your own should do the same thing with no model at all, which is the version that works with the narrator switched off.

496.⚠️ Buy something from a trader, then look at People again. They should be there as somebody who buys and sells, a shade warmer — once an evening, however much you buy.

497.⚠️ Open /characters and look at a hero who has finished a night. There should be a What ⟨name⟩ has done box: the table's name, what they did there, and anything they left unfinished.

Sit that hero at somebody else's table and DMax there should know it. That is memory following a hero rather than a table.

Keep this to this table should switch it off. The box stays — those evenings cannot be replayed — and no other table is told.

498.Quiet players. At a table of three or more where one person has said nothing for a while, DMax should start giving them something to answer. He should never say out loud that they have been quiet; if he does, that is a bug.

499.Open /account. It should be six tabs — Profile, Security, Keys, Appearance, Privacy, Notifications — rather than one long scroll, and what you had before should all still be there, under one of them. Type something in a box, switch tab, switch back: it should still be there.

500.Profile tab. Write a line about yourself, your pronouns and two rulesets, and press Save my page. Then press the /u/<your name> link at the top of that panel.

501.⚠️ Your own page. Your name, your handle, when you joined, and what you wrote. It should say it is your own page and point at the tabs that set it. With nothing published yet, it should say so in one line at the bottom rather than showing empty headings.

502.⚠️ Open your page as them (the second account). Your bio should be there — it is set to anybody signed in — and there should be no heroes, no friends count and nothing about where you are. Those are the three things that are off for everybody by default, and this step is the one that proves it.

Sign out entirely and open it again. The bio should now be gone too: that one is held back from the open web on purpose.

503.⚠️ Privacy tab, back as you. Eight rows, each with Nobody / Friends / Anybody signed in / Everybody, each saying what it is for in plain words. Turn Your heroes to Everybody and look at your page as them — there should still be no heroes, because a hero also has to be ticked on the Profile tab. Tick one there and look again.

504.⚠️ Ask to be friends. As them, open your page and press Ask to be friends, with a line. You should get "Asked, waiting for an answer".

505.⚠️ The bell. Back as you, the header should carry 🔔 with a 1 on it. Press it: "&lt;them&gt; asked to be your friend.", with their line under it. Opening the page is what clears the number — not a button.

506.Answer it. /people → Waiting on you → Yes. Friends should go to 1 and the request should leave the list. (Say No thank you instead on a second go: it should tell them nothing beyond that it is answered, and stop them asking again for a week.)

507.⚠️ Send a message. /people → Friends → Message → type and send. As them, /people → Messages should carry a 1 and the line should be there. Open it: the count should clear.

⚠️ Try it the other way round from a stranger. With a third account, or before you are friends, there should be no Send a message button at all on your page — the default is friends only, and it says so under Privacy.

508.⚠️ Save them a seat. Open a table with a seat going. Then open their page: there should be a Save them a seat at &lt;table&gt; (N open) button. Press it.

509.⚠️ As them, press the bell. A gold-edged box at the top: who saved it, which table, your line, and Take the seat / No thank you / Have a look first. Press Take the seat — it should put them at the table, not back on the notifications page.

510.⚠️ Block somebody, and check it everywhere. As you, open their page and press Block, then Yes, block them.

Their page should become a 404 for you — and yours for them. Not a message; nothing.

They should leave your friends list.

Neither of you can message the other, and the conversation should leave both lists (unblock and it should come back, with the messages still in it).

Anything of theirs should be gone from Discover, the community shelf and the dice pool.

⚠️ The table. Sit at the same table as somebody you have blocked and have them talk: their lines should not appear on your screen, whispers included, and everybody else should still see them. Have them leave and try to come back with the code — it should refuse, in words: "You cannot take a seat at that table. Ask whoever runs it."

They are never told any of this. Nothing on their screen says the word blocked.

511.Mute, for comparison. Mute somebody instead: their things go from your feeds and their chat goes quiet for you, and nothing else changes — they can still write to you and still sit down at your table. Both lists are under /people → Muted and blocked, with an undo.

512.⚠️ "At a table now." Privacy → "At a table now" → Friends. Sit at a table and leave it open. A friend looking at your page should see At &lt;table&gt; now; a stranger should see nothing.

Turn it back to Nobody and look again: it should be gone at once, not in three minutes.

At a table nobody can find, a friend should see "at a table" with no name and no link — unless they are sitting at it too.

513.Report somebody (use your own second account). Report them → write a reason → it should thank you and say they are not told. On /admin → Moderation there should be a People kind with it waiting, naming them and quoting their bio, with Look at this person and Leave it — and not who reported them.

514.⚠️ Security tab. "Where you are signed in" should list this browser as this one with a name you recognise. Sign in from a phone and it should appear; press End it and that one should go.

515.An email address, if you want one. Type one in on the Security tab. It should save and say, plainly, that no email service is set up on this site yet so nothing can be sent to it — that sentence is the point. Your recovery code is still the way back in. Clear the box and Save to take it off.

516.Notifications tab. Turn Somebody follows you off, have them follow you, and check no line appears. Everything else should still arrive.

517.On a phone. /u/<name>, /people and /account at 390 points wide: the tabs should wrap rather than scroll sideways, and every button should be reachable. People and 🔔 are in the hamburger menu with everything else.

518.Open /account signed out. Under the password form there should be a Carry on with Google button with Google's own mark on it, and a line saying it makes an account of its own the first time.

If the button is missing, this deployment has no GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID / GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET. That is the designed behaviour, not a fault — absent rather than broken — and a Vercel change needs a redeploy before it takes.

519.⚠️ Press it. Google should ask which account, every time — never walk you straight through on the one you happen to be signed in to.

"Access blocked … has not completed verification" means step 5 of the setup list: add yourself as a test user, or publish the app.

redirect_uri_mismatch means the URI in Google's console does not match character for character. Re-read step 3 of that list.

520.⚠️ Say yes. You should land back on /account on a panel headed Pick a name, with a username suggested from your Google name and a note that your page will be at /u/<name>. Change it to something of your own and press Make my account.

A name somebody already has should refuse in words and let you try another without going back to Google.

521.⚠️ You are signed in, on a new account. Check Account → Security: it should say Set a password rather than Change password, Signed in with → Google → Attached, and your email address already filled in with the "no email service is set up yet" note under it.

522.⚠️ Try to take Google off. It should refuse, or be unpressable, with a line saying it is the only way in and to set a password first.

523.Set a password, with no current-password box since there is none. Then take Google off — it should work now — and sign in with the username and password you just set.

524.⚠️ The attack this is built to refuse. Make an ordinary account with a username and password, and put the same email address your Google account uses into Account → Security. Sign out. Now press Carry on with Google.

It must not sign you into that account. It should offer to make a brand new one.

That is the whole point: an address this app has never verified is not proof of anything, and matching on one is how accounts like this get taken over.

525.Attach Google to an account you already have. Sign in with a password, then Account → Security → Attach Google. It should come back saying Google is attached. Sign out and press Carry on with Google: it should sign you into that account, not a new one.

526.Try to attach the same Google account to a second account here. It should refuse, in words, and tell you to sign out and use it to sign in instead — and the first account should still have it.

527.A sign-in that goes wrong says something. Open /api/auth/google/callback?code=x&state=x by hand: you should land on /account reading "That sign-in timed out, or it did not start here." Press Cancel on Google's own consent screen instead and you should land back with nothing said at all, because cancelling is not a failure.

528.On a phone. The button, the Pick a name panel and Signed in with at 390 points wide: everything reachable, nothing sideways.
