World Anvil News: February 2023

From dinosaurs to new bug-squashing methods, let’s catch up on World Anvil’s latest developments and take a look at what’s coming next this month!

⚙️ New and upgraded features

Here’s what’s new this month!

🎲 RPG systems: Worlds Without Number now has a character sheet! Check out this sample character to see how it looks.

🐛 New bug tracker: we have a new bug tracker integrated into World Anvil, so you don’t need a separate account to report issues with the site. This was a much requested upgrade in the Forge the Future 2022 survey—and it’s just one of the requested improvement we’re excited to roll out this year! Check it out!

🗓️ Upcoming and ongoing events

Here are all challenges and events that are happening in February!

🦖 Bestiary February: this month’s challenge is about expanding on the fauna of your world! It’s a relaxed, laid-back challenge with no winners—the goal is to have fun worldbuilding. Check out the challenge page!
🎓 Sage Seminar: if you’re a Sage of the Guild, this month’s Seminar will be about Worldbuilder’s Disease. As always, it will happen on the third Saturday of the month (the 18th)—watch your notifications for details!

📝 We’re hiring!

We’re looking for a remote full-time Mid/Senior Javascript/React Developer! If you’re interested (or know someone who could be), check out the details!

🐉 How to import D&D Beyond characters

Several people asked us how to import D&D Beyond characters into World Anvil, so we made a quick how-to video explaining how the importer works!

🫖 Worldbuilding mugs!

We have new merch in our store! These were a stream joke initially, but you asked for them, so here they are! With a tea edition, by popular demand too!

🌟 Community highlight

RubenVDB joined less than a month ago, but he’s already taken the World Anvil community by storm with his incredible world. The visuals on his articles are breathtaking—I find myself going back to them just to take another look. Here’s Murder on the Arcaenum, one of the coolest uses of World Anvil’s advanced customization options I’ve ever seen!
