Gyrinx Update: Patreon badges, gang icons and more!

Gyrinx Update: Patreon badges, gang icons and more!

Last time we improved content packs even further. Today we're back with a slew of social features, quality of life improvements, and some very shiny new badges! 

Help improve Gyrinx by giving us feedback on current and future features.

What's new?

Patreon badges and gang icons

  • Patreon supporters now (optionally) have Scummer, Guilder, and Uphiver badges! Let us know if you don't see it!
  • We’ve introduced house icons across the interface to help you identify lists at a glance.

Stars & Pins

  • Pin your gangs and campaigns to keep them at the top of your Gyrinx homepage, private to you.
  • Star the content you like. Stars are visible to everyone, so the best stuff rises to the top.
  • Index pages now sort by recent activity, alphabetical order, or most-starred.

Overclocked Content Packs!

  • Custom gear and weapons now have a Modifiers tab. Equipment can now modify stats, skills, and rules.
  • Arbitrators can now mark packs as mandatory on a campaign.
  • Pack owners can now attach PDF and image files to their packs.
  • The workflow for creating content packs has been streamlined and is now even faster.

What's fixed?

  • Fixed a rare bug affecting gang value when a fighter died. Occasionally this caused a server error, now resolved.
  • Empty pack categories are now hidden from visitors.
  • Content pack Rules have been renamed to Special Rules.

We want you!

  • Gyrinx is fully volunteer run and open source, we could use your help! See how you can get involved.

 As always, massive thanks to everyone on our Discord who's sent feedback, filed issues, and supported the project. Gyrinx has increasing overhead costs and your support makes a real difference, you can back us via Patreon and it's massively appreciated. 💜

Gyrinx Update: Custom House Rules, Wyrd Powers, Gang Attributes and more Special Ammo options!

We’ve added a swathe of new customisation options as we continue to power up Gyrinx’s Content Pack system.

What’s new?

  • Your House Rules, Automatically: Does your group think Balefire Throwers ought to be D1? Are you determined to buff Greenhorns? Sick of Escher Queens having weirdly bad intelligence?
    • Gyrinx now supports house rule customisation! With a single content pack, you can modify the default stats and rules of fighters, vehicles, weapons and equipment.
    • Arbitrators can share these house rules with every player in their campaign and make sure everyone has the same rules.
  • Let's Get Wyrd: Expand Necromunda’s psychic universe with custom Wyrd Powers and Psyker Disciplines.
  • Gang Attributes: Running special factions for a campaign? Need to keep track of teams for a weekender?
    • You can now use Content Packs to create custom gang attributes (e.g. “Colour”) and values for those attributes (e.g. “Blue” and “Red”)
  • Special ammo… for regular weapons!: Tracers? Ice bullets? Extra lasery lasers?
    • You can now create custom Special Ammo for existing weapons.
  • Even more flexibility for custom content:
    • Custom weapons and Equipment now have a Modifiers tab where you can apply mods, skill additions, and special-rules directly to a piece of equipment

What’s fixed?

  • A rare bug affecting gang value after fighter death (RIP) has been fixed
  • The UX for creating content packs has been streamlined

What’s next?

  • More custom content options
  • Improved Patreon benefits
  • Powered-up campaigns

Arbitrators! We want you!

  • Got something that grinds your gears in arbitration? Want something automated? We want to know! Please get in touch on our Discord with either manofwaaagh or shoto, we are all ears.

As always, thanks to everyone who has given feedback since last time and thanks to our Patrons — Gyrinx has increasing overhead costs, and your support makes a huge difference. You can back us here via Patreon — it’s massively appreciated.

Last time over at Gyrinx we dropped custom content for all your homebrew and house rules, today we’re back at it again with even custom-er content!

What’s new?

Supercharged content packs!

  • We’ve added new custom content support as part of the Content Packs system:
    • Custom vehicles, vroom vroom!
    • Weapon accessories, pew pew!
    • Exotic beasts, growl growl?
  • Custom content now plays more nicely with campaigns.
    • Arbitrators can now easily select their own homebrew or house rules at the click of a button.

UI and dark mode improvements

  • Sleeker layout in gang pages, even better dark mode.
    • Improved layout in gang view
    • Dark mode in the app has improved contrast.
  • Easier-than-ever note keeping
    • Every fighter now has a notes page that lets you record their clutch wins and sordid history.

What’s fixed?

  • Search results have been deduplicated and improved
    • Whilst Van Saar might feel strongly that their lasguns are the best, we don’t need to know that in every search.

What’s next?

  • More custom content options
  • Improved Patreon benefits
  • Powered-up campaigns
