I'm up for a one-shot game, for sure. I could make a 2 to 4 hour session on UTC Saturday anywhere from 16;00 and later [UTC].
I've extracted the text, and converted all tables to bullet lists, from the System Reference Document (SRD) of the Player's Handbook. I discuss this with McNalu in episode http://hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?id=3120 The "drawback" (if you call it that) is that I've added some open game content to fill out missing character options, which causes my SRD to diverge from the official Player Handbook. For instance, the Player's Handbook offers Path of the Berserker and Path of the Totem Warrior for Barbarians, but they only release Path of the Berserker as part of the SRD. So my version offers Path of the Berserker and a third-party Path of the Shaman instead. Not really a big deal unless you're playing with someone adamantly opposed to third party content. Here's the Git repo to that document: https://notabug.org/notklaatu/5srdnd The document is 5e_SRD.md That may or may not be of use to you. -klaatu On Saturday, October 31, 2020 2:12:20 AM NZDT Mike Ray wrote: > Klaatu, > > This is all great stuff. > > I was not able to reply directly because I currently have some kind of > enigmail error on TBird, which stops me replying to anybody with a key. > Need to sort that out.
