Hello lovely Patreons, every last one of you!Thank you for supporting me to develop this software, with the Adventure Muncher entering public release and Foundry 0.8.6 support stabilising it's time to have your say on what you would like me to have a crack at.One vote so use it wisely....
Development Update (June 2021)
Greetings Adventurers!What have I been up to?* Adventure Muncher is now in beta and available to Undying+ supporters now. I hope to have it in general release later this month.* Getting the importer to 0.8.x support. The new version of Foundry is here, and a lot changed under the hood, especially for the ddb-importer module. A lot of time and energy has been invested in getting the importer workable.The 0.8.x supported version introduces the following major changes:* Integrated adventure importer tool into muncher pane.* If tokens are present i...
Foundry v0.8.3 beta version
For those of you living right on the edge a beta version of ddb-importer suitable for Foundry 0.8.3 and D&D5E version 1.3.1 is available.I would strongly recommend you do not upgrade any worlds you're using to run games or with data you're not happy to loose. I have not tested any of the active effect features at this time, and would love to hear feedback on any problems people encounter.You will need to install this version straight from the following manifest: https://artifacts.ddb.mrprimate.co.uk/ddb-beta/next/hraffren/module.jsonTha...
DDB Adventure Muncher Beta!
It's here! Finally!Please see below a link to the beta. Before you jump in through some caveats...Who is this for?This is a beta, there are rough edges, if you try it out make sure...* Installing a new module from a manifest file in Foundry.* That it may just not work for you right now.* That you'll need to be on Discord to talk about bugs and problems - I won't be answering queries through Patreon.* That what you import is probably not ready for use right away, and is going to need further refinement. There is a chance that what yo...

Adventure Importer Alpha
God tier, your generous support is rewarded! Please see below a link to the initial Adventure Importer. Before you jump in through some caveats...Who is this for?This is an early Alpha, there are rough edges, if you try it out make sure...* You're comfortable opening a developer console in Chrome and running commands there.* Installing a new module from a manifest file in Foundry.* That it may just not work for you right now.* That you'll need to be on Discord to talk about bugs and problems - I won't be answering queries through Pa...
April Update
And a good day to you!Welcome to an update of where I'm at and plans for the month.What have I been working on?You may have noticed updates have been a lot less frequent than in previous months. This is partly because of improved stability, and partly because I've been working on Scene/Adventure parsing.The Muncher has received the following updates:* Several small parsing fixes for monsters/characters.* Support for life domain cleric now DDB supports it.* Monsters will now use their `@mod` value in damage if it can be determined to hel...
Adventure progress
I've been working hard this month on exploring adventure/scene imports, and looking at some options. You can see in the above animation the early results of an adventure importing into Foundry using the Adventure Importer/Exporter module.The route taken will involve a standalone application, like foundry, which will talk to DDB and download and build the adventure/source book. It will take an index configuration file generated by ddb-importer to link items, spells and monsters.I have a number of things to do to get this into a state that ca...
March 2021 Update
Greetings Adventurers!I can't believe it's March already.The first half of February focused on the following:* Extras can now be imported alongside your character. (e.g. pets, sidekicks, wildshapes, beast companions).* Can use snippet rather than full text for actions on import.* A number of fixes around Option Class Features* A lot more icons for Racial Traits & Class Features (Thanks @Zac!)* Source filtering now works for Spells and Items* A number of small bug fixes* Updating character/token name is now optional - thanks @Naito!Last ...
Active Effect Auto Generation Alpha
Greetings Adventurers!Earlier this month you overwhelmingly voted to start supported Active Effect generation in the parser! I've been working on this for a number of weeks now (you may have noticed releases have slowed somewhat), and after alpha testing with my elite bug finders I'm happy to present the initial Alpha to my God Tier Supporters.Some caveats:* Please only try this on characters or compendiums you are happy to recreate from scratch.* Please read the following and understand the limitations of the parser and what is coming....

February Development Update
I'm blown away by your support this month, my 2nd month with any real Patreon presence. I'm hoping to be able to adjust my "real" job schedule to be able to focus more time here, but this might take few months to come to fruition.In January we have had a huge number of improvements...Improvements Monster parsing and icon detection is a lot quicker. We have a full suite of Foundry based icons for spells and equipment/items (thanks Zac!). You can now sync key character changes back to D&D Beyond to keep your sheet up to date with ...
New 0.3.0 Release - Big new features!
I've been working on something special this month, people always ask "I've made changes to my character, in Foundry.... how can I get these back into D&D Beyond?"Well now we have an answer - the new release of the module includes the option to sync a limited number of changes back to D&D Beyond.It will sync hit points, hit dice, exhaustion, currency, spell slots, spells prepared, death saves, and inspiration.Action uses, biography/notes, and equipment will be coming soon.The eagle eyed amongst you will also notice an overhaul to...
Key update
Based on some feedback keys will now work till the end of the following month (so a key issued in December will work till the end of January). Some people only join for a month/one of payment (I don't have a problem with this), but if you're joining at the end of the month it's a small window of usage.ThanksMrPrimate
