Creating Pathfinder 2e creature statblocks using XML-like format


Product Discussion

I've created a static HTML/CSS project for myself that allows me to create Bestiary-like stat blocks using an XML-like format.
It's for my own personal use, but I thought I'd share it with you. This is a pet project, so I'm not going to be heavily maintaining the project, but please feel free to make any changes you want to your own local copy.

That doesn't mean I don't want feedback, but please remember this is only a pet project, by someone who is just beginning to learn about CSS. (Any CSS suggestions are definitely welcome.)

The project repository is on GitHub: PathfinderCreatures

Clone the repository into a directory, and click on the .html file of your choice to load it into your browser.
It should be pretty obvious how to make copies of these .html files to load up your own creature stats.

BTW, they seem to save to PDF pretty well.

advTHANKSance,

Here is a screenshot of one of the examples that I put in my Dropbox...

If that is the result of your project, you should be pretty proud of that work. I'm a professional web developer and I've seen WAY worse from people who have been doing web app work as their day-to-day job.

EDIT: Important caveat... I see that you are using some of Paizo's IP (icons). You need to make sure you compliant with the community use guidelines.

Interesting. It gives me ideas for how to add something like this as part of my character sheets project.

Saedar is correct, check out Paizo's Community Use Policy and make sure you're using it legally. You're probably fine, Paizo are pretty generous and tolerant, but it's best to make sure.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll check it out. Do I need to check what Archives of Nethys's IP policies are, as well?

It looks like I need to add some disclaimer material to the "product."
