v13.1.6+230412 critical bug fix
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.>> Click here to ...
v13.1.5+230403 (and MPMB unavailable for a week)
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.>> Click here to get v13.1.5+230403 via Pa...
March paused
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 me...
5e has been saved, WotC scraps OGL changes
An announcement was just made on D&D Beyond where the whole System Reference Document 5.1 has been published under a Creative Commons license.If you don't know what this all means, then please read this Gizmodo article.This is a truly momentous occasion, where the community's outrage has changed the decisions o...
Let’s talk about the OGL
I 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 ...
v13.1.4+221130
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 hav...
v13.1.3+221026
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 ...
v13.1.2+220912 ... in space!
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 hopefu...
v13.1.1+220816 catchup edition
Again 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....
Survey: MPMB's next step
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...
July paused & next big step for MPMB
TL;DR: (Too Long; Didn't Read) There is no recurring charge for July. There is no new version yet, but one is in the works with the missing content. I want to overhaul most of the sheet’s (code) fundamentals, but it's going to take time. I'm even considering moving the sheet to another platform (e.g. web-...
Poll: How to handle "multiverse" races (poll 2/2)
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 seco...
Poll: How to handle "multiverse" races (poll 1/2)
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 ...
What would you like to see as Patreon rewards?
As 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 askin...
Discontinuing Sorcerer ($20) & Soothsayer ($70) tiers
My 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 fo...
No progress – February pledges to charity
I 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 s...
v13.1.0+220114
After 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...
v13.0.9+211119 hoard item edition
Another stable release and it hasn't even been two months, I must be getting better at this "planning" thing! 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...
v13.0.8+210929 new stable version for patrons & Poll for what's next
It 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 b...
Slow summer & poll for next big feature
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 dau...
v13.0.7-beta3: revenge of the missing semicolon
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 previo...
v13.0.7-beta1
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 RavenloftExcept magic items...
v13.0.6-beta2
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 fea...
v13.0.6-beta1 & Poll for release schedule
After a(nother) hiatus, a new version is here for all you very supportive people!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 option...
March deadline: shifted priorities, hospital visits, and no charge for April
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 w...
No charge for March and v12.999 Adobe Acrobat bug
It 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 th...
Great news everyone! (behind the scenes update)
I know you are all waiting in anticipation for new content coming to the MPMB’s Character Record Sheets and I can’t blame you. A lot of cool new shiny things are still to be included and who doesn’t want to play with cool new shiny things? The work is underway, made easy by the fan-led effort on the MPMB Discord ...
v13.0.5 (Patreon version) and v13.0.4 (free version)
A 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 versi...

It is time! ... for another beta: v13.0.0.beta33
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 uncu...
