Item Art Overhaul

We’ve generated hundreds of new item images using our custom art pipeline, covering weapons, armor, potions, gems, currencies, and more across all three game systems. The marketplace now defaults to showing items with art, making browsing more visual and engaging.

Landing Page Refresh

The homepage now showcases all six core features — including loot distribution and collections — with a GM-focused “How It Works” walkthrough and fresh screenshots from the redesigned frontend. All system pages (D&D 5e, Pathfinder 2e, Draw Steel) now feature hero screenshots of their item databases.

Free Tier & Player Tier Buffs

Free accounts now get 10 AI requests per month (up from 5), and Player tier subscribers can now run 3 concurrent shops (up from 1).

New tools for building shops, sharing your content, and getting players to the table faster. The headline: Auto-Populate uses AI to search the marketplace and curate inventory for your shops and loot tables.

New Features

Auto-Populate:

Hit the Auto-Populate button on any shop or loot table and describe what you are going for. A desert bazaar with scarce water and overpriced rations. A necromancer’s stash full of cursed trinkets. A dragon’s hoard heavy on gemstones and legendary weapons. AI reads your template’s name, description, tags, and game system, then searches the entire public marketplace to find the best matching items and curates a themed inventory from top-rated existing content — complete with quantities and pricing. This is not generating items from scratch. It is intelligently pulling from the thousands of community-created and system items already on ScryMarket and assembling them into a coherent stock list. Results appear inline as pending entries — review each one, tweak what you want, dismiss what you do not, and confirm the rest. No blank-page problem, no manual searching through the marketplace item by item.

Card Showcase:

View any item, shop, loot table, or character as a printable card. Cards render with stat blocks, art, tags, and descriptions in a format designed for the table. Print full sheets with duplex support, export individual cards as PNG, or share card links with OpenGraph previews for Discord and social media. Access card views from any detail page or batch-print entire collections.

Party Invite Links:

Share your party with a link. Every party now has a deep link (/join/ABC123) that works for anyone. If the recipient is not logged in, the join saves automatically and completes after they sign up or log in. The new Invite Hub generates QR codes and pre-formatted messages for Discord and text. GMs can also block removed players from rejoining via the new block list on the Members page.

Starter Content:

New parties automatically get a demo shop and loot table deployed on creation, stocked with items appropriate to the party’s game system. New GMs have something to explore immediately instead of starting from an empty party. Starter content respects subscription limits and skips gracefully if limits are reached.

What Got Better

Shop and Loot Workspaces:

The separate Edit and Inventory pages for shops and loot tables have been merged into unified Workspace pages. Edit metadata in the sidebar, manage inventory in the main panel, and trigger Auto-Populate — all without leaving the page. Fields auto-save individually with visual status indicators so you always know what has been saved.

Session Management:

Session timeout extended from 30 minutes to 2 hours. A toast warns you 5 minutes before expiry. A new Remember Me option on login skips the timeout entirely. The timer pauses when you switch tabs and catches up when you return.

Documentation:

The user-facing guides for inventory, shops, collaboration, marketplace, and the Discord bot have all been rewritten to match the current product. A new Item Identification guide covers the full mystery item workflow from spawning mystery items to the Scrying Reveal.

ScryMarket 2.0 is here!

Every page, every flow, every pixel has been rebuilt from the ground up. We call it Arcane Modern: a glassmorphism design language with aurora accents, smooth animations, and glass panels that feel like looking through a magical crystal ball. Available in dark and light modes. This is what Scrying should feel like.

The entire frontend has been rewritten with a modern stack: React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind v4, and Framer Motion. Pages lazy-load. Forms validate instantly. Everything is faster, smoother, and more responsive than before.

Here is what is new and what got better.

New Features

Loot Distribution:

GMs now have five ways to distribute loot. Need/Greed/Pass lets players vote on drops. Round Robin takes turns fairly. Value Balanced splits treasure evenly by worth. Random lets the dice decide. Or stick with free-form claiming and let your players sort it out. You choose the method that fits your table.

The Scrying Reveal:

Mystery items now have a proper reveal ceremony. When a GM identifies an item, the Scrying Reveal plays a cinematic animation: arcane circles, particle effects, mist, and a dramatic card flip. It turns a simple mechanic into a moment your players will remember.

AI Content Provenance:

Every piece of content on ScryMarket now tracks whether it was created by a human, generated by AI, or provided by the system. Users can choose how they want to interact with AI content: see everything, hide AI art but keep AI-generated items, or filter out all AI content entirely. The preference applies across the entire marketplace.

Fully Public Marketplace:

All publicly shared content is now browsable without an account. Items, shops, loot tables, collections, and creator profiles are all accessible to anyone. Good for sharing your creations with your table, good for new users who want to see what ScryMarket offers before signing up.

CSV Export:

Export any character or party inventory to CSV. Whether you need a backup, want to print a reference sheet, or just want your data in a spreadsheet, it is one click away.

Transaction Histories:

Every item transfer, shop purchase, loot roll, and currency exchange is now tracked in a searchable, filterable audit trail. Never wonder where that Bag of Holding went. Supports infinite scroll and CSV export.

Mystery Item Spawn Wizard:

GMs get a dedicated 3-step wizard for creating mystery items: pick a template, set the fake name and description, and choose the reveal scope. A proper flow instead of the old dialog.

Identification System:

The full lifecycle for mystery items. Mark items as unidentified, set reveal scope (owner only, party, or auto), request identification, approve or reject requests, and trigger the dramatic Scrying Reveal. The system tracks the entire chain from mystery to discovery.

Onboarding Wizard:

New users are greeted with a 4-step guided setup: pick your role (player or GM), choose your game system, optionally create a starter character, then join or create a party. Skip it if you already know what you are doing.

Party Announcements:

When GMs reveal shops or loot to the party, animated modals fire in real-time for every online member. Gold for shops, cyan for loot. They queue up if multiple reveals happen at once and auto-dismiss after 15 seconds.

Inventory Sharing:

Generate a token-based link to share any character inventory as a read-only public page. No account needed to view. Great for sharing builds or showing off your loot.

AI Workshop:

A dedicated page for generating items from natural language descriptions. Describe what you want, preview the result, and save it to your library. Usage meters show how many generations you have left on your plan.

Command Palette:

Press a keyboard shortcut to open a command palette for quick navigation anywhere in the app. Jump to any page, search for content, or trigger common actions without touching the mouse.

What Got Better

Character and Party Inventory:

The inventory interfaces have been completely redesigned. Better layout, smoother transitions, easier collaboration. GMs see every member’s containers at a glance. Players see their own gear plus shared party storage. Drag-and-drop transfers sync in real-time over WebSocket.

Shops:

The shop interface has been rebuilt with hero banners, management tabs, and a cleaner transaction flow. Buying and selling is faster. Deploying shops from the marketplace now lets you customize names and pricing on the fly.

Marketplace and Discovery:

The new Discover page surfaces trending items, community picks, top creators, and featured collections without requiring you to know what you are searching for. Filtering is faster and more flexible across all content types.

Collections:

Collections now support sharing, saving, and categorizing any type of content: items, shops, loot tables, or a mix. The creation and editing flows are smoother, with game system selectors and better organization tools.

Notifications:

The notification center now has proper filtering, unread tracking, pagination, and digest preferences. No more wondering if something happened in your party while you were away.

Image Upload and AI Art:

Template creators can upload custom images or generate AI art from any creation form. Human and AI art slots are tracked independently. Upload your own art later and it replaces the AI version cleanly.

And more:

  • Improved creator profiles with better stats and content showcases
  • Redesigned GM dashboard with deployment overview and party metrics
  • Better forking UI with clearer attribution
  • Improved ratings display across the marketplace
  • Plan comparison page with full feature matrix and monthly/annual billing toggle

  • Light mode and dark mode with a theming system built for future custom themes
  • Party home page with quick stats, online members, activity feed, and deployed content
