    Do we have a timeline on this yet?

    Just wondering if it is weeks, months or years away?

    Awesome!

    Will it include light sources for automatic vision reveal?

    If a guy has a torch it will show everything within say 20 feet?

    You guys are doping a great job btw.

    I agree. Definately doping a great job. Sometimes when I get home, I spark up some doping and write out a couple adventures. Adventures that can be solved through diplomancy and peace.

    Yes light sources will play a big part of the dynamic FOW. Including multiple light sources with overlapping.

    Mmmm lightsources.

    I also wouldn't mind seeing a way to dim the map or tiles to players. Such as when the DM uses fog of war, he can still see the spaces but they are dimmed.

    How about blind-sense, tremorsense, scent and the other off by ones?

    There is proof of concept on this, but the release is still unknown. We are polishing up the 3.0 release and the new dynamic FOW will not be included; however, it is our goal to get it into the next release and hopefully out in a few months. As GenCon approached we had to make an executive decision and put a hold spell on FOW (at least a public hold, not internal hold). We are just as excited about this feature. I promise as soon as it is ready and proves stable, it will be released.

    Best regards and good gaming,

    Nick

    That is to bad, my entire group was chewing at the bit for it.

    We will just have to wait a bit longer.

    Yes, I've seen the proof of concept on this feature. It looks killer.

    That said, I can totally understand why it didn't make it in the upcoming August update.

    Do we have even a guess as to when this might make it in? I know not for 3.0, but are we looking at months? A year?

    Yes, I am not very patient LOL....This is the single missing feature that I desire more than anything. I've already purchased D20 Pro and love it. I know there is nothing I can do but wait for it, but even some kind of sketchy timeline is better than nothing. =D
