Other AI game masters can fudge the dice. This one can't.

2026-06-26: A wave about what makes a campaign truly yours. Every companion arc now reaches a crossroads - betray what they stand for and they do not sulk, they leave for good; a bond you can lose is a bond that means something. Every campaign world is generated from a seed, so one link drops a friend into the SAME world you are playing - same regions, same factions at war - while your story through it stays your own. Put your sealed dice head-to-head with a rival in a Seal Duel - whose natural 20s, whose fumbles, both chains re-verifying live. New caster set bonuses and endgame uniques reward a chosen playstyle - a wizard's spell save DC, a druid's thorns, a bard's opening tempo - so your loot finally expresses your build. Wrong a House badly enough and it becomes your nemesis - the plot that schemes against you between sessions now targets the faction you personally drove to enmity, not a random rival; the world remembers exactly who you crossed. And a natural 1 in a desperate moment can earn a sliver of the Loom's Favor - the engine's own honest mercy, never the AI's whim.

2026-06-26: The positioning game got its missing half. A melee bruiser you keep at range now CLOSES the gap to bring its weapons to bear - the mirror of the caster's kite that already shipped - and a Polearm Master punishes that approach with a reach strike the instant the foe steps into range, the enter-reach opportunity attack that was the last gap in the feat. Sentinel grew teeth on both sides: it still locks a fleeing foe in melee, and now it guards your companion too - strike your beast and a Sentinel hero reacts with a blow of its own. Lucky learned its defensive half: spend a luck point to FORCE a foe's attack to reroll and keep the worse die, the panic button against a crit. Every one is a real sealed roll, off by default and on when you choose the feat. Alongside, a sweep of conversion fixes from an honest funnel audit - the character-builder path now gets the same guided opening + share moment the quick-start does, the trial upgrade nudge reaches you with room to decide instead of at the wall, and the healer fantasy finally has a one-tap door.

2026-06-26: The feats you pick at level-up became real mechanics, not flavour text. Lucky gives you 3 luck points a day to reroll the d20 and keep the better die - a real sealed reroll, never a 20 wasted. Inspiring Leader's oration wraps you and your allies in temporary HP; the Healer feat patches a wound or stabilizes the dying with a kit. And the reach feats came alive on top of the engine's opportunity-attack system: Sentinel LOCKS a kiting foe in melee - your OA drops its speed to 0 so the archer that tried to slip away is pinned at your side; Polearm Master adds a bonus-action butt-end strike with a glaive or spear; and a War Caster's opportunity attack can be a cantrip - a Fire Bolt, not a feeble jab. Each is a tappable card or a spoken intent, each a real die the engine rolls, each documented in the Codex.

2026-06-25: The deepest build-craft wave yet. Real multiclassing landed - combine two classes on the proper combined-slot rules, with ability-score prerequisites enforced, a Fighting Style picker the moment you multiclass into Fighter, and a Signature Builds gallery of proven combos (Sorcadin, the Bladesinger, the Gish) tagged with role and difficulty, in both onboarding and the full builder. And every subclass's signature move is now a real, sealed roll you tap from the hotbar or Skill Book: Channel Divinity - the Tempest cleric's Destructive Wrath, War's Guided Strike, Grave's Path to the Grave, Light's Radiance of the Dawn; Metamagic - Heightened and Quickened Spell; a Wild Mage's Tides of Chaos and true Wild Magic surges; a ranger's prey-marks (Slayer's Prey, Planar Warrior, Colossus Slayer); a Vengeance paladin's Vow of Enmity; a Battle Master's Riposte; a Lore bard's Bardic Inspiration and Cutting Words; an abjurer's Warding Flare; Defensive Duelist. Reactions surface as in-combat chips you actually tap, feats finally move the dice (War Caster, Alert, Savage Attacker), marks persist across turns, and twenty new Codex entries document every one. A standing adversarial-AI audit swept the whole wave and caught two real combat bugs before any player could. All sealed rolls. All live.

2026-06-22: The endgame's honours got a durable redesign so nothing ever looks stale as the Court grows. A new Collection Crown tracks the fraction of the Court you have sealed - Half-Court Sworn at half, Keeper of Every Seal when every Witness is yours - and it always reads right, whatever the roster size. The prestige ladder became a fixed, evocative arc capped by Loomwright of the Whole. And the Gauntlet - a curated boss-rush of ten of the Court's harshest Witnesses and the Warden, back to back - now pays a Sigil premium plus the feat title Walker of the Gauntlet for a clean clear. Rewards are scope-relative throughout, so the economy never re-stales as new regions and Witnesses are added.

2026-06-21: The biggest wave yet. Forty-plus new foes across two new endgame regions, the Tidewrack and Stormspire, with multi-phase bosses and tactical elites that run a recognizable opener-build-climax rhythm. Three new subclasses fight for real - Eldritch Knight, Veilstalker, Arcane Traditions - and past the level cap a paragon board opens: the Loomwoven Ascendancy, woven with points you earn felling Witnesses, never bought. A full six-set synergy suite gives gear real playstyle identity, legible right on the item card. Co-op tables can now decide together with the Party Council - the whole table votes on the fork and the host enacts its will - and the Sealed Ladder ranks every verified Loom Seal by the natural 20s the engine could never fudge. The Director even started telling the truth about your footing: the ground you stand in, and which foes are too stunned to strike back. And for the worthy, the Gauntlet opened: a curated boss-rush of ten of the Court's harshest Witnesses and the Warden, back to back, every seat frayed, sealed into one Proof.

2026-06-20: Crafting got an endgame and the Court grew teeth. At the Forge bench you can now reforge a single affix and seal the stat you love, Transmute an item's base within its slot, and Set-forge a reforge toward a themed set - quality and affixes only, never raw power. Two whole new regions opened (the Hollowdeep and the Unwoven Verge), the Sealhouse gained tactic-changing Court modifiers each with a reward to match its warning, and the lairs themselves fight back, firing their hazards round by round. And for the completionist: the true ending, where the Loom Seal is finally made whole.

2026-06-19: The endgame filled out across three phases. You now swear your own Clauses - vows with honored or broken stakes - craft your own docket with the Reading Stone, spend an Ascendant Token to bend a run, and chase a quarterly Seasonal Seal with an earnable title. New immune elites joined the roster (the Gloomweaver, the Hoarfrost Seer, and the Cinder Archon), mounted combat and environmental hazards landed by the book, and the Skill Book was rebuilt to read clearly, with in-game explainers for how its Threads and the Court actually work.

2026-06-18: All twelve classes and their subclasses now fight like themselves - caster parity across the board, Paladin auras and Divine Smite, Battle Master maneuvers, Monk Stunning Strike, Barbarian Rage as a real limited resource, the full Rogue kit - all on a new saving-throw resolver. The martial action economy came alive in the interface: a real action menu so a fighter is never "only a dagger," a resource readout for Rage and superiority dice, and tappable reaction chips for the reactions you actually have. Foes started fighting smart, with target priority, morale, and lair actions, the world began remembering your deeds across epochs and tilting its feuds in response, and a shared Loom Seal now unfurls as real visual proof anyone can check.

2026-06-17: The Court beneath the world is live - the true endgame. Fell Brassgate and the Sealhouse opens: twenty-eight Witnesses seated around the Loom Seal, and above them all the Warden of the Final Thread. Step to a seat, read the Witness's dossier, and Confront it - a real, sealed fight you begin from the Court itself, no guesswork. Climb the tier ladder and the Fraying sets in: harsher, rotating mutations the deeper you push. Every Verdict is sealed into the chain forever and provable on the Loom Seal page. The prestige you earn - Sealed Threads - buys only Court skins and worn titles, never power, so the summit stays skill and never a wallet. It is featured on the front page and marked on the world map, so even a brand-new hero can see the peak they are climbing toward.

2026-06-17: A full art-and-polish sweep. We audited every image the game can show - foes, spells, scenes, items, and the whole Codex - and filled the last gaps, so there is not a single placeholder left anywhere in the game. The landing's "provably fair" panel and the tavern now wear hand-drawn line-art sigils instead of stock emoji, matching the rest of the world's look, and fresh illustrations landed for the combat rules and the Court's apex regalia. It is the small, unglamorous difference between something a tool spat out and something built on purpose, end to end.

2026-06-15: We audited every spell against its own tooltip and fixed the ones that were bluffing. Bless rolls a real +1d4 into both your attack rolls AND your saving throws, on the engine, while you concentrate. Bane drops a foe's attacks by 1d4 (CHA save). Banishment puts a foe out of the fight entirely - no turn, no counter. Greater Invisibility flips the advantage both ways; base Invisibility hides you the same way but ends the instant you attack or cast, exactly as written. Every die is rolled by the seeded engine where the AI cannot fudge it - and the whole Codex is now illustrated, all 208 entries, open to everyone.

2026-06-13: The cosmetics you wear - auras, frames, your Founder marks - now stay put across every reload and exit, and equipping one is a quiet confirmation instead of a wall of repeated text. And the deterministic core that rolls every die reached v3.1.1 - a new, hardened release of the already-public engine, cleared by five hand-checked security rounds. The same one Rust core, byte-identical across TypeScript, Python and Rust, on npm, PyPI and crates.io for anyone to read, run, and verify.

2026-06-12: A suggested action can now BE a roll. The Loom tags an option with a real skill and your own modifier - [Persuasion], [Insight], [Stealth] - and tapping it makes the server roll that exact check, at an honest difficulty, BEFORE the scene is written, so the story follows the die and never the reverse. When a past memory shapes a scene, the Loom shows you the real record it drew on. Combat learned distance - a bowman opens across the field, a brute starts in your face, and firing point-blank reads on the roll the way 5e means it. The first true dungeon opened: the Sunken Loomworks, four rooms under the fens, each cleared only when every foe is truly down. Plus a skills hotbar (press 1 and the bolt flies), a crafting endgame with a gambler's reroll and a harvest on every kill, and a one-tap public Seal of any triumph - the dice, provably un-fudged, for anyone to verify.

2026-06-11: The deepest single update LoomMaster has shipped. Real leveled spellcasting - fifteen new spells across levels 2-5, rituals, a slot economy the engine enforces, concentration that truly breaks, and area spells that catch every foe in the blast. Tactical combat reads the field: distance matters, leaving melee provokes a real opportunity attack, and a paralyzed foe genuinely cannot answer. The world now MOVES between your visits - prices drift, House feuds sharpen and cool, rumours rotate daily, and each night themes what hunts in each wild. Two companions - Kessa Reed, the weary old soldier, and Pip Brightlet, the runaway apprentice mage - can earn a place at your side, each with a personal story arc that unfolds the longer the road runs. And the Houses pay off at the extremes: inner-circle work for those Held at the Loom, and for those Cut From the Cloth, a single hard redemption door back. All of it server-authoritative, event-sourced, and honest - the dice were never the AI's to invent.

2026-06-07: The Living Journal opens in play - a server-authoritative record of everything the Loom has seen you do. Your standing with the six Houses, the deeds it recorded, the quests you carry, and the regions you have reached, all read straight off the same honest event chain as the dice - never a fabricated entry. It is the thread of your story, kept where nothing can quietly rewrite it.

2026-06-07: Six civic Houses keep their own ledger on you - the lantern-keepers, the smiths, the archivists, the gate scouts, the kitchens, and the gardeners. Your deeds, not your words, move your standing across five tiers, and the Director narrates how each House's people meet you - warmth, wariness, or a closed door. The Houses are rivals, so winning one quietly cools its enemies: you cannot be a hero to all six at once. A new in-game Codex tells you who each House is, what wins and loses their regard, and exactly where you stand. Server-authoritative and event-sourced on the same honest chain as the dice.

2026-06-05: The deterministic core LoomMaster runs on - range bands, the reaction economy, the 5e and PF2e rules adapters, the HMAC-SHA-256 event chain - now runs byte-identically in TypeScript, Python, and Rust (one Rust core compiled to WebAssembly, PyO3, and a C-ABI). Published source-available: npm (loom-engine), PyPI (loom-engine-rpg), crates.io (loom_math, loom_combat, loom_events). 4,131 tests green, external security + determinism audit passed. This is the proof behind "the engine owns the dice, the AI only narrates" - same seed, same result, in every language, on every machine.
