Some good news and some bad news
🕑 Added 2024-07-31 20:11:09 +0000 UTCI'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. He was an outside cat who didn't let anybody but us come close. Without us there, nobody could approach him to see why he wasn't eating for a couple of days. Unfortunately, by the time he was found it was too late.
Goodbye dear friend, you have brightened our lives for the last six years with your quirky presence.
I have been working on a new version that fixes some issues with importing and that has the items from Quests from the Infinite Staircase. The latter, with its futuristic items made me rethink how the modern & futuristic gear has been added from the Dungeon Master Guide and that it would need an overhaul. That realisation came a bit late in the process and I wasn't able to finish before leaving on our holiday/family visit.
I'm currently visiting family abroad and time to work on the sheet has been extremely limited and today's news hasn't motivated me to work on D&D as you can imagine. The next version will have to wait till August.
In the meantime, I do have a progress update to share with you. This post's image is the current state of the new sheet designed in cooperation with Mammoth Factory Games (see announcement post). Content for their adventures is almost ready, so you can expect to see more of this design "soon".
How does one call this version, 5.24e? I apologise for not making a statement about this before, but better late then never (fitting subtitle for this Patreon I guess).
I fully intend to incorporate the new rules update into my character sheets one way or another.
I don't have any advanced access to these rules, so I know as much (little) as you do about the exact changes and how that affects the sheets. It remains to be seen what the best way forward is.
I might make parallel versions, a toggle on the sheet, a complete redesign from scratch, I don't yet know.
As for a timeframe, I also don't know. It depends on the route that I will be taking for a 5.24e character sheet and how much work transcribing the new content will be. All this will only really start once I have access to the full rules, so please don't hold your breath but know that it is coming.

Random question, but will you need any help any sort of data entry? I have no clue if i could help but as a long time member id love to lend a hand if i could.

So so sorry for your loss. As a fellow pet parent, it is devastating. Don't cut short the fact that you will have a grieving process just like you would the loss of any family member -- even though your sweet furry one was not human. Regarding the character sheet... agree with this comment from Clint... please do leave the 5e as is... maybe could you just make 2 parallel ones? The work involved would be horrible at the beginning, but I imagine they will "legacy" 5e, so I can't imagine much would be needed for maintenance of it after 5.5e starts, and then that way you could move forward w/5.5e, but all of us old farts staying with 5e could live happily ever after in our little utopia and not have to scroll through 5.5e stuff to use it? Also, just code wise, I would think it'd be easier to separate them (can you imagine trying to force 2 different if-this-than-this for each class through 1 sheet)? Ugh, they made a mess of things.

Making the new PHB rules work is a big project and I'm not currently thinking about doing another one like that at the same time.

Out of curiosity, are you thinking about adding the Kobold Press Tales of the Valiant (Black Flag) stuff?

Sorry to hear about the kitty, I've got 2 indoor cats and I know how devastated I'd be if something happened to either of them. As far as the sheet goes, it seems the edition name everyone is using is just 2024.

My condolences.

My intention is to keep all 5e functionality intact. However the 5.24e will be implemented, I will make sure the 5e stuff stays accessible.
Clint Frost
Sorry for your loss. Sad to see. Would you consider keeping an sheet for 5e and 5.5e? I know a good amount of people who don't intend to move into 5.5e fully. Just gonna homebrew in some rules that we like.

This Patreon pays for all my D&D books that I integrate with the sheet, don't worry about that ;)

First off major condolences. Secondly, can we buy you the new digital handbook or physical one when it releases if that helps?

Sorry to hear that. I hope you don't mind, I took the time to draw his likeness. I'm happy to send you the physical copy if you'd like. https://storage.ko-fi.com/cdn/useruploads/display/5f369046-6ceb-4fa8-aa83-1bb22f9001db_1000010826.jpg

May he rest in peace, my friend. Losing a loved pet always hurts, but don't worry: time and love heals many wounds, leaving only faint scars and sweet memories.
