Welcome to The Scoop, our regular community update for Tabletop Simulator and Berserk Games!


Happy February! Is it just me or is this year going by fast already? It's the last month of Winter, so we can hopefully look forward to warmer weather soon. The heart logo is to wish you all a Happy *early* Valentine's Day!

In January, we put out a whopping 3 updates! We added blindfolds, poker chip adding, UI Visibility, and Darkest Night in Update v6.3.





Update v6.4 brought in Tiny Epic Galaxies, Multiple States and the Tablet for Linux users.





And in Update v6.5, we added in a brand new Deck Search, Battle For Souls and a ton of bug fixes!





It's hard to believe how much we've been improving TTS and it will only get better from here!

Also, don't forget to check out our Knowledge Base. There is a lot of helpful information that you may not have known existed, so be sure to read through it! We're adding things to it all the time, so keep checking back!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


We're happy to announce that we'll be bringing in Tiny Epic Kingdoms and the expansion Heroes' Call to life in Tabletop Simulator in the near future! We've already got Tiny Epic Galaxies, which was recently released so we're looking forward to this next iteration! The Tiny Epic games were designed by Scott Almes and published by Gamelyn Games.



Also, you can expect to see the next Cosmic Encounter expansion, Cosmic Conflict coming soon to an update near you!



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


We value our community's feedback and over this past year we have implemented a lot of features and suggestions that you guys have given us. And we're still listening! Please continue to post your suggestions on our official forums. Here's a teaser of what we're working on for our upcoming updates.

• Bag Searching - Finally, FINALLY this is going to be happening! Now that we have the new deck searching working, we can also implement this for bags. So be on the lookout for it, as it's in progress!
  
• Scripting - "What? No way! You said it wasn't possible!" Well, guess what? We're working on it! We hope to have something to show in the next patch!

We’ve got another update for you this week as we wanted to get our new Deck Searching feature out and tested. You can still search the old way with the wheel - this is now called Public Searching as everyone can see you search through it and manipulate it. The new deck searching is called Private Searching and it shows up in a grid window and only you can see it. Play with it, try all different things and let us know on our forums if you encounter any bugs.

Our next DLC is Battle For Souls by Robert Burke Games and published by Greenflame Games. Battle For Souls is an epic medieval card and dice game for 1-4 players pitting the forces of Hell against the forces of Heaven in a fight for the eternal souls of humankind.

If any issues pop up, please post on our forums. Enjoy!

• We have partnered with Greenflame Games to bring Battle For Souls by Robert Burke Games into Tabletop Simulator!
  
• Now available for $4.99 with a 10% launch discount!
  
• The game can be played solo or up to 4 players.
  
• The game lasts approximately 60 minutes.
  
• Only the host needs to own this DLC.
  
• The rule book uses the new States feature, giving the illusion of a closed book and open book.
  
• If you’d prefer to read the PDF, the tablet is hidden in the game box with a link to it.
  
• Dials are easy to use. Hold your LMB on the outside circle and press E or Q for the right number and the inner circle + E or Q for the left number.

• Fixed issue with cards falling through mat.
  
• Fixed rockets to start upright. You can use the new States feature to quickly switch between their positions.
  
• Reduced size of the satellite tokens.
