New for this month are encounter (battle) maps! They're intended for use with the player view on a second screen where they can have optional grid lines, rotations, and scaled in a variety of ways, but they can be utilized in any way to improve the campaign. The number of maps bundled with Campaign Manager will also grow over time.

- Improvements to combat evaluations user interface.
- Added buttons on combat form and encounter engagements to open details of the character.
- Added ability to cut/copy/paste asset characters, items, and abilities between assets. This makes it much easier to copy assets from SRD 5.1 and makes your own versions / tweaks in your own asset.

Latest update for Campaign Manager is printing!
One of the worst purchases you can make is an airplane... and a kit airplane doubles-down on that stupidity. But alas, it seems as though I'm likely doing that.
I love the looks, characteristics, performance, and price of the Zenith CH-650 aircraft. And constructing it myself seems like the ultimate build challenge. (Not having to keep a medical to fly one and being able to conduct my own maintenance are also great bonuses.)
This past month I went to one of the Rudder Workshops that Zenith Aircraft hosts where potential builders/buyers come out and construct a rudder (under the guidance of Zenith employees). In addition to the great education of how to build the plane, you get a demo flight in your desired aircraft. The visibility in it is amazing, and it is the fastest to build from all kits I considered. I figured even if I decided not to go with the aircraft, the Rudder Workshop would still be a ton of fun (and I'd have a piece of an aircraft to hang on my wall!).
In some of Zenith's other aircraft kits, they have predrilled matched holes for incredibly quick construction. They're working towards but not yet have that for the CH-650. I mostly had pilot holes in one piece as a guide for where to drill, but I was still way slower than the other participants that had the CH-701/CH-750 matched holes. After fitting, drilling, and clecoing (temporary holders to keep pieces together) components, I had to completely disassemble them to deburr metal shavings (caused from drilling) and apply anticorrosion (as I live near salt water). Then reassembly but this time rivet.
About to begin...
Straightforward update this past month has been primarily additional content: Thousands of real world names of lakes, mountains, and rivers have been added for the random name generator.
Also some improvements to the user interface in selecting names via the random name generator.

The latest update for Campaign Manager expands on the earlier update - last month I added support for HTML style tags in the description of assets. For this release, every SRD 5.1 monster type has its description updated to take advantage of the new feature.
The update in Campaign Manager for this past month is support for HTML style tags in the descriptions of assets. This enables much nicer formatting of the text in assets so they're easier to read and linking one asset to another.
The mouse cursor changes to a hand when placed over a link, and if clicked the relevant ability is opened. Getting the details of a spell that may be cast is now trivial to do; which is especially useful when you're busy in combat.
All 240 ready-to-go Level 1 through 20 NPCs have been updated with the new style and links. A future update will bring it to the monster assets.
