Spring Development Update 2025
Added 2025-04-04 19:48:36 +0000 UTCHello Adventurers!
It's been a while since an update, however, things are in a good place with the importer. Character, spell, item and monster imports are now (mostly) stable.
The Character Importer and Muncher screens have had a makeover and have been updated to the new Foundry "v2" style.
With the explosion of third-party content on D&D Beyond, there is a new Sources filtering tab that allows the previous options of filtering by source but also allows you to exclude categories of sources.
DDB sets the categories and these are typically publishers or settings, as well as things like 2014 Core Rules, Core Rules (i.e. 2024), Legacy content (this is content that was updated/replaced e.g. MotM updates) and Expanded content (e.g. Tasha's).
I'm taking a small break this month, but next up we will be tackling more V2 updates for configuration screens, the no doubt inevitable updates required for V13 of Foundry (which seems very close now), vehicles parsing and more!
Thank you for your support!

It's definitely considered, and on the list, but there are a few more practical elements as a lot of behind the scenes things use ddb id on meta data on the items/spells/monsters, so it makes linking a lot harder than it might first appear.

2025-06-05 18:13:27 +0000 UTCHey, first of all thanks a ton for your amazing work on the DDB Importer! π Quick question: do you have any plans to make it more compatible with the official D&D modules in Foundry? Like avoiding duplicate feats/spells in the compendiums or using the ones from the official modules if the user has them installed? Would be awesome to keep things a bit cleaner when mixing sources. Keep up the great work!

2025-06-02 07:01:18 +0000 UTCFor some reason I'm having a very weird problem connecting. None of my cobalt cookies are being accepted. I am up to date on the importer as well as an active patreon supporter. No matter what I try it just tells me the cobalt key is invalid

2025-04-09 09:38:12 +0000 UTCIs there a way to have character imports only import the spells that are new to the character and dont overwrite the existing, for example if there was something changed at the spell?
Posikris
2025-04-09 05:37:42 +0000 UTCIs there a way to have character imports have more of the customer class info somehow with them so we can level them in Foundry, or are we stuck leveling in DnDBeyond and reimporting?
