v24.0.5-beta – Fourth 2024 rules beta

This month (cutting it close as usual) I'm happy to present three more classes being added to the 2024 beta. The Paladin, Ranger, and Sorcerer as well as their SRD subclasses are now available in this new release.

I've added some small changes to common attributes and even made it possible for class features to be hidden, either always or just at some lev...

v24.0.4-beta – Third 2024 rules beta

Not an flashy update this time, but I was able to get three more classes finished before heading off to visit family abroad over the Christmas break. As with the previous betas, not many subclasses are available yet, as I'm working through the SRD first.

A group I played in finally made the switch to the 2024 rules with a rare in-person session (normally we are about 9.000 km apart). I ha...

v24.0.2-beta – Second 2024 rules beta

Tonight is pakjesavond* in the Netherlands and that means everybody gets a present, all of you included. This present comes in the shape of a couple of new beta sheets, one for 5e (2014) and one for 2024 (5.5e).

The 2024 sheet doesn't contain all the content. I'm working through all of it and amending the functionality of the sheet as needed. For example, coding the new Eldritch Invocatio...

v24.0.0-beta – First 2024 rules beta

A day later than promised, but I had some last-minute inspiration for making the Wizard features Spell Mastery and Signature Spell appear on the spell sheets.
...but I did that before properly testing all the new code and ended up spending much more time on testing and debugging all the changes then I had anticipated.

I've also made a beta release for the 5e rules and named it v14.0.0-...

Bigger, Bolder, More Purple – introducing rich text formatting

The 2024 implementation is coming along, but a beta is not quite ready yet. I plan to have a beta PDF available for you by the end of the coming week. This will probably not include all SRD content, the magic items and creatures are definitely not going to be finished by then, but on Friday I'll publish a sheet with everything that is done.

Before that time, I would like to ask for some f...

Billing paused until 2024 sheet is finished

Today is my 40th birthday and I would love to have been able to give you the present of a finished 2024 character sheet, but I’m just not there yet. Instead, I have another present for you.

To give myself some (much needed) incentives, I’ve decided to pause the billing of this Patreon until the 2024 character sheet is finished. This effectively means I will have no income until I get ...

Poll: Beta Versions for 2024 MPMB?

Although I made some good process in March, April had other plans. Just after the 2-week long school holiday, my partner’s father unexpectedly passed away. Thus, priorities shifted from working on the 2024 sheet to helping family abroad. I don’t want this update to be about that, but it is important to mention as I have little progress to showcase, unless you are overly joyful about the 202...

Work in Progress Update

A long-deserved update on the state of things, but unfortunately with few shiny things to show for it. Work is progressing both on the 2024 version of the PDF as well as the Web-App, but neither are at a point that they are usable.

This is mostly thanks to my chaotic back-and-forth between the two and the resulting decision paralysis (ADD casts “Hold Person” – it is very effective)....

v13.2.1+240913 - Attack section fixes

A small update to the sheet, mostly focused on some bugs and the niche case where you have a character with multiple caster classes that use the same ability score and have magic items that boost only one of those casters' spell save DC and/or spell attack bonus. This required a revisiting of how the sheet determines which spellcasting class to link to which cantrip selected on the first page.<...

v13.2.0+240829 - last new WotC 5e content?

The time has come to say that this is (probably going to be) the last version with new 5e content. That doesn't mean MPMB is stopping, just that the next update will be something else ;)

This is a minor version bump because of all the changes with how the manual/auto switches now work. All add-on scripts should still work as everything is backwards-compatible.

I'm sorry, but I have to start this post with some bad news related to the random cat image. Our cat was found dead today by our neighbour who was feeding him while we are away from home.

Unfortunately, by the time he was found it was too ...
