[NO LONGER AVAILABLE] Beta 0.5.5 Update Key
Hi everyone, I'm extremely excited to celebrate a major milestone for Foundry Virtual Tabletop with Beta 0.5.5 and the launch of software license purchasing on the official website. This is an odd-numbered "stable" release for all Patreon supporters and for all users who pre-purchase a license from the website. There are relatively few changes in this update, the most significant of which is the addition of the new license verification process which applies to non-Patreon customers and will (eventually) apply to everyone.
Along with this release pre-purchasing is now available on the website! You'll be hearing more details about that in a companion post coming shortly. If you haven't yet gotten a chance, please check out the Release Announcement Video which was posted recently.

Direct Update and Temporary License Key
You may update directly using the following update key: 055-2l1km449kki1
This same key is used as a (temporary) license key when prompted by the software.
NOTE: If you were previously using a version of Foundry Virtual Tabletop that predates 0.5.x, while you CAN update directly using this key I recommend that you uninstall and reinstall from scratch to obtain the latest Electron version.
Providing Feedback
The feedback cycle for these releases are very important. There are many large changes where I will be keenly paying attention to feedback to continue building upon this new framework. There are three ways to provide feedback which I have ordered according to my preference.
1. Discord Channel. My preferred method to collect feedback is through our Discord server where I have created a dedicated channel for Beta 0.5.0 feedback. If you are able to join our Discord community it's the best way to engage with me directly for feedback.
2. GitLab Tracker. You are welcome to create issue reports directly in the GitLab tracker here ( https://gitlab.com/foundrynet/foundryvtt/issues ). If you choose to create issues in GitLab please take extra caution to check that your problem has not already been reported by checking other recently reported issues before creating a new report.
3. Bug Report Form. There is an official bug report form on the official website. Please go to the following address and select "Bug Report" as your category. https://foundryvtt.com/contact-us/
Thank you all so much for your support!

How do we request/guage interest in adapting new game systems? I didn't see a thread for the Monolith RPG/board game system - supports the Conan or Batman Goutham City Chronicles.
A lot of systems are built by people in the community who have both an enthusiasm for the system as well as a bit of background working with web development. Thankfully there is a really large population of people who are familiar with web dev, so as Foundry grows the odds that one of them will be interested in making a Conan or Batman RPG system will increase a lot as well. In the mean-time you would probably need to use the "Simple Worldbuilding System" which is designed to be a flexible (albeit simple) substitute for official game-system support.
Can't wait!
Great work! I know I am looking forward to pre-purchasing today!
