January 2025 Update
Added 2025-01-04 10:33:26 +0000 UTCHello Adventurers!
Seasons greetings and a Happy New Year! I've been enjoying a slow couple of weeks, interrupted only by a somewhat intense couple of days in a hotel with a small child with Norovirus. I hope you've all been having less... exciting times.
It's been a couple of months since my last update. I was fairly optimistic then about the speed of changes I was able to make around the v4 D&D system. However as things progressed some early flaws in my design became apparent, and with the release of the Illrigger and LotR book on DDB it became clear that a slightly different approach was need.
This resulted in a fairly major rewrite to help handle these changes and to improve parsing quality moving forward.
Things have settled down considerably, but the last month or so has been heavily focused on revisiting and refining the parser, which resulted in having to revisit a fair amount of things. The Importer is now in a solid position moving forward to start reintegrating midi-qol and similar automations.
I have now moved into re-evaluating spells and moving across light touch automation features.
This month I'm hoping to tackle the 2024 summon spell parsing, as well as adding some quality of life improvements like choosing if you want to use 2014 or 2024 spells on monsters.
Thanks for your support!

Make sure you are on the latest version of the importer, there was a bug for a few versions

2025-03-19 11:41:23 +0000 UTCCharacter importer no longer imports character extras (say druid wildshapes). Is this a 5.24 problem?

2025-03-01 07:36:36 +0000 UTCHello! Thanks for all of your hard work to date. I've been mulling whether to buy the 2024 Monster Manual in FoundryVTT instead of D&D Beyond. I already did so with the 2024 PHB. If I bought it on Foundry and in future were to import adventures from D&D Beyond, do you think it would be feasible for the code to populate monsters from my Foundry book instead of D&D Beyond?

2025-01-22 11:35:19 +0000 UTCYour module has been a remarkable time saver! Thank you so much for your hard work on this. I can see that the current version doesn't yet import classes, subclasses, features, etc., in the current game system version for 5e. Is that near on the horizon, or would it be best to just downgrade the system to a 3.x variant? I'm not desperately attached to the 4.x system or aything, it was just what was available to install from the game system list.

2025-01-11 17:44:12 +0000 UTCHey man, I can't seem to get the adventure importer to work, this is the second set of map imports where the backround image has not been imported? And with Curse of Strahd they don't seem to line up , so I have to do edits to the grids
