Good morning/evening/do we even know what time is anymore?! Hello fellow Pathfinders! This is a little bit of a suggestion/put the hive mind to work post. As you all know PaizoCon Online is coming up (eek) and that means us GMs better get our booties in gear and finish up prep. As I was doing this a thought popped into my head. Now stick with me, I am not one that is great at complining info and putting it into the most organized format. I have my system, and it works for me, but user friendly is a skill I am working on! A lot of us, by choice or need, have been playing our society games on VTTs lately, personally I use Roll20 for my games. As a result, I purchased the Bestiary on there, and I love the amount of time that I can save when I read a scenario, recognize an NPC is in the book (yay) can drag it out, and have the stats ready to go! It really makes it easy on a gal, and that time saved is more than worth the cost of the resource. However, ultimately, there will be a lot of NPCs that aren't straight from the book. I was wondering if we could consider noting in adventures when a monster is from one of the Bestiaries, or maybe if it is *reeeaally* close to one (like you could pull the stat block and mod one or two things), to help our VTT, and maybe even nonVTT friends locate it somewhere else in a pinch. Also reaching out to the community to see if anyone has an interest in working as a team to maybe compile a reference list of already printed adventures. For example PF2e 1-11 has some friends with a 'bone' to pick with PCs ;) , but they have one extra goodie that isn't on the stat block. If you've read this far I have taken enough of your time already, thank you.

We can do you one better, we're sharing tables
The problem with the bestiary on roll 20 is it requires using the official sheet. As opposed to starfinder where there's some of a split on which sheet to use, the community sheet has near universal adoption.
A monster shouldn't require more than a few minutes to tokenize. It needs HP, a full attack, an attack, saves, and a button for the special voodoo that they do.
