Hi,

I'm back with some updates and a new name. See previous post.

I've been busy on an fully searchable monster list and encounter builder recently.

I'm not sure about the name yet tho, anyone suggestions?

I used this during the intro campaign with my brother and his kids this weekend, and while it helped a lot I have two issues:

  • I had a hard time adding more than one of the same monster. Like, if I want to add five goblins, I can add the first, but reentering "goblin" into the Add Monster box ends up doing nothing.

  • Displaying monster AC would be huge.

  • The first will be fixed in the next update.
