HEXROLL 2E - alpha build #8 - a mixed bag

Hello brave adventures

Today's rollout has a mixed bag of small features, content additions, minor tweaks and bug fixes.

Dungeon Labels

You can now get a quick preview of any dungeon hazards before guiding your players through it. Use the labels toggle button to alternate between seeing the area numbers, a hazard symbol indicating an encounter and no label at all.

Bookmark-friendly Titles

Using your browser bookmarking tools is a great way to keep track of your session, players progress and any key areas of interest. HEXROLL will now make sure any sandbox page you bookmark will have a unique and meaningful title, making bookmarking useful and meaningful

Hit-point Check-marks (experimental)

You can now check-mark lost HP when editing any page with hit-point check boxes. This can be done by selecting the check box symbols and clicking the 'Toggle HP' button in the editor toolbar. This feature is still experimental and will likely require some improvements.

Editing Quill

I moved the quill button outside of the page lock menu. Editing a page is a more casual action than re-rolling a page, and having the two placed together can lead to an erroneous click and an unwanted re-roll.

Content Changes

I'm going to start dedicating more attention to sandbox content. For today's rollout I detailed newly generated taverns with drinks and lodging prices, added a first name to quests involving NPC relatives, added more unique hex features and reworked some of the existing descriptions.
