Not much time between versions this time, because I made a tiny mistake in the previous version. As is common with coding, but this time it had big consequences.
I highly recommend anybody using v13.1.5 to update to v13.1.6, especially those using the Monk or Ranger class as those are the most affected.
It has been a while, but finally I have a new version to share with you. I had this ready for you before the weekend, but time was too short to share it with you. This will be a quick post, as I am getting on a plane in a few hours and I will be (mostly) unavailable for a week.
My past month has been filled with with a lot of stuff, mostly taking care of a sick kid, but also some very fun D&D sessions. Unfortunately, I have had very little time to devote to MPMB's Character Sheets and thus I have decided to pause the Patreon billing that would otherwise happen on the 1st of March. This means that if you were charged on the 1st of February, or joined anytime during February, your pledge will last you until the 31st of March.
Although March ...

2023-01-27 21:43:23 +0000 UTC View PostI have been silent on this topic, but I have been following the discussion closely. It has definitely impacted my work for the past couple of weeks, as I have not found the motivation to work much on the MPMB tools.
I am also (still) working on catching up with the discontinued Sorcerer and Soothsayer rewards, which is now in the final stages of completion. For example, I’ll soon be able to share the Inventor class by KibblesTasty with you.

Sinterklaas¹ has come early this year, with the Dragonlance setting being accessible sooner than expected. Not much new in this version besides the new content, just small textual changes.
As the book is not yet available, page numbers are missing from some of the Dragonlance content. I assume that you would rather have the content early than wait for the page numbers.

A seemingly small update, as the functionality of the sheet has changed very little besides some small bug fixes. This new version mostly focusses on a bunch of new content, specifically all the Unearthed Arcana articles from 2022. Shout out to PoetOfGod for making most of these, making it easy to double-check and add functionality where needed instead of starting from scratch.
Note that this does not include the playtest content for OneD&D! I feel that this playtest stuff is too m...
After a very relaxing holiday, I'm back at it. For once I hope I'm in time (enough) with the new content. This update is a relative small one, with a bunch of bugfixes and just a single new content addition – Spelljammer: Adventures in Space.
The bugfixes is what took the most time for this version, but hopefully now importing a character and adding a special companion (e.g. Find Familiar) will again work as expected.
I hope to get caught up with the missing Une...
2022-09-12 15:23:48 +0000 UTC View PostAgain a long-awaited new version. I got a bit over my dip and have finally transcribed the last of the official content to be used with the sheet. This includes the races and creatures (beasts) from Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse, as well as the magic items from Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep.
All the races changed by MP:MotM are now selectable alongside to their previous version, as was decided by 2022-08-16 15:20:56 +0000 UTC View Post
The survey announced over two weeks ago is finally here. As is now tradition, I had planned to have this available sooner for you, but with friends in town from abroad and the daycare unexpectedly shutting down for a week, time was a precious commodity best spent in other ways.
I did manage to play two sessions IRL with my group, which was amazing. A lucky coincidence in scheduling had all three members who live abroad back in the Netherlands at the same time. One lives in ... 2022-07-20 15:23:03 +0000 UTC View Post
TL;DR: (Too Long; Didn't Read)
Would you like to be able to always select the multiverse races (from MotM) along side their previous version, or should the sheet just only allow the latest version to be selectable?
If only the latest version is selectable, the rules used will depend on the sources you have set to be included/excluded.
This is the second poll about this, 2022-06-13 09:59:57 +0000 UTC View Post
Another update without a new version, because I again would like some feedback from you before finalizing what I'm working on. A lot of time has gone towards catching up with the unfilled Sorcerer/Soothsayer-tier rewards, but that is not what this post is about.
Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse has been out for a couple of months now (counting its box set release) and many of you are probably waiting on it being implemented. This is where I w...
2022-06-13 09:58:09 +0000 UTC View PostAs you probably read in my previous post from a couple seconds ago, I'm deleting two of the four tiers for this Patreon. As this leaves me with very few tiers, I would like to introduce some new ones. The thing is, I’m not sure what kind of rewards I can give that people would be interested in.
Thus, I'm asking you to please let me know what you would like to see as a reward for joining this Patreon. You can do that by filling out the poll below and/or leaving a comment, sending an e-...
2022-03-30 22:53:58 +0000 UTC View PostMy short time working on other things than D&D has made me realise that a big constraint on my progress with the sheets is the amount of daily/weekly manual upkeep I'm doing for my Patreon/website. Thus, it is time to change this. I'm changing gears in how I'm approaching things and looking for solutions for these constant time-drains.
The most time-consuming of all of these is (trying) to keep up with the Sorcerer and Soothsayer tier rewards. I’m already months behind on making t...
2022-03-30 22:51:12 +0000 UTC View PostI am sure that some of you have been wondering about an update considering another sourcebook dropped at the end of January.
As you probably guessed from the title, this post is not about a new version of the sheet nor about new content being available. A while ago, an old employer of mine reached out for my help with some projects I had done for them in the past. I happily agreed as this gave me chance to work with some old colleagues and friend, as well as taking a break from D&D ...
2022-03-23 22:46:06 +0000 UTC View PostAfter over a month of silence, I finally have something to post again! Just consider it a late Christmas present, because as usual I was hoping for a quicker turnover.
This release doesn't look like much on the outside, only a few (bug)fixes and some new content (Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos), but on the inside I was able to make the last big change that I had planned for v13. The options on the companion page to make a creature into a familiar, ranger companion, o...

But of course my initial plan was to get this to you a lot sooner. Unfortunately, a COVID case at the daycare my daughter goes to meant that she had to stay home with us for a while and nothing much got done.

2021-11-19 13:34:05 +0000 UTC View PostIt has been almost a year since the previous stable release, so it is high time for another one! Content updates have been behind ever since the decisive poll to push for magic item support before adding more content, which was continued with me taking time off for my house and soon after again with my daughter being born. I’m very happy to announce that this great content catchup has finally come to an end.
Hi everybody, it has ben a while since my last post. Not much news about the character sheet to share, I'm still working on adding the last bit of content from the books (mainly magic items). But progress is slow, because we've been away on holiday abroad, meeting up with family who could (finally) meet our daughter for the first time.
See bottom section for information about the poll.
Another beta again this soon? Something must be wrong! That's correct, the previous beta release had a tiny stupid mistake with big consequences. A single missing semicolon caused all spells gained from anything other than a class to display as an empty line when generating the spell sheets. As this made the previous beta rather useless to play with, here is one with fixes for this issue and some other small things.
Another end of the month release, but this time not with just a little bit extra content. This one has got a lot of content!
Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, Mythic Odysseys of Theros, Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden, Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, and Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft
Except magic items, all the character options from these books are included in this latest beta!
Please understand that some things are never added to the sheets, like supernat...
The previous poll had a clear winner, most of you prefer me to release a new version whenever a good chunk of stuff is done. And the time has cone, just in time before the end of the month!
I finished the important content from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything: all its subclasses, feats, spells, and optional class features are now working in the sheet!
You can select the optional class features using the Choose Feature menu on the second page.

I know I’m cutting it a bit close by releasing this on the last day of the month and as always I had hoped to have more finished for you to play with. I have started with adding the new features, those needed for the new rules and options in the new publications. As coding goes, this hasn’t been that fast as I wanted it to go and is not completely finished. But because I don’t want you to have to go ...

TL;DR: Nothing got (fully) finished this month because priorities shifted to a sick baby and helping my girlfriend hand in her PhD in time. Thus, no charge for April as promised. Also, our baby, dog, and cat are on the pictures (as requested) and the bug from my last post has been fixed by Adobe Acrobat.
Another month without any updates and still no new version? You probably guessed it already: I didn’t finish in time what I set out to do. There i...
2021-03-31 18:14:11 +0000 UTC View PostIt has been far too long since I’ve written an update. Time just seems to slip away nowadays. To illustrate, I started writing the draft for this message on the 8th of February and am only now able to come back and finish it.
The good news is that I have been able to spend a lot of time with my daughter and that we three have been able to get past the sleepless nights and get an okay daily schedule going. My daughter will start going to day care in the coming week and that should give...

A lot of cool new shiny things are still to be included and who doesn’t want to play with cool new shiny things?

I have been working on getting the base code updated to accommodate the latest changes. Thinks of things like better support for companio...
2020-12-06 14:23:30 +0000 UTC View PostA small update to fix some issues with spells gained from a subclass. This version also fixes the "Add to selection" button not working in the spell selection dialogs. No content changes this version, just fixing some essential stuff for now.
Don't forget that you can bring your character over to a new version using the import functionality. How to do that is explained here.
The long-awaited moment, that a lot of people thought would never come, has finally arrived… A new stable version of MPMB’s Character Record Sheet!
You can get the v13.0.3 sheets through the download post here on Patreon, as well as through the patron-only part of my new website.
v13 is now also available for free through 2020-10-12 20:09:41 +0000 UTC View Post
The previous beta was a bit ambitious and it showed. The new spell lookup feature failed to properly account for rituals and had some other small issues. Those should now be fixed, but it did delay the v13 stable again by a bit.
However, I can now present you with the new spell selection dialog, bigger, better, and uncut (fits better on smaller screens and no unused space). It has space for more spells and a way to lookup spell descriptions before adding a spell to the ...
