Read the licensing policy ↗A few useful things
Before your first session.
Where does the Runner keep my campaigns?
Under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Gravewright\data, including settings, database, media and logs. Stop the server and back up the whole data folder before replacing source files or applying updates.
Is the application available in Portuguese?
The application UI currently supports English. The website and project documentation are available in English and Brazilian Portuguese.
Can I install an update automatically?
Updates are manual. Download the new source after backing up your data. Release discovery does not install an update automatically.
What should I know about 0.1.1?
Keep backups of important campaigns and check the user guide for current limits. The native PDF ruleset does not include a complete item editor or catalog.
Are browser modules isolated?
Browser modules run in the main page. Install code you trust; package signatures do not provide a sandbox.
