Looks good.
I’m probably being a bit daft but I can only find a character sheet and and dice roll.

It has a top menu, which links to the main info.

#4

Ahhh. I’ll blame mobile and not having my glasses on…

#5

My rationale is that this is still a wiki for you to do with as you please. The added D&D content should not be intrusive until you directly include or link it with your own material.

Really impressive. I was wondering if you would be open to spinning off the theme and palette in the next version as plugins, that we could drag & drop into our own wikis (without pulling in everything else)? I think the styling is top-notch and would love to have it in my wiki.

This is awesome, I would like to figure out how you did the monsters I have been struggling with a tool I have made to correlate the DC to the monster type but you nailed it! If you wouldn’t mind I would like to contact you about how to port your monster section into an existing TW. Again awesome work!

It’s been well over a year ago when I first started working on the theme for this wiki that I have forgotten many of the details. However, the good news is that the majority of the theme should be found in the dnd5e-icons plugin. You can try dragging and dropping it into a wiki and see what happens. Just make sure to select the palette D&D 5e - Fantasy Paper to change all the colors.

Thank you! The easiest way to contact me is to look for me in the Tiddlywiki Discord. That is where I usually lurk if you have any questions.

The monster templates are found in the dnd5e-core plugin. Every monster is tagged with Monster. The majority of the monster’s data and stats are stored as fields in that tiddler. However each monster’s feature, action, attack, bonus action, reaction, legendary action and lair action are stored in a separate system tiddler, tagged by both its parent monster and Definition.

For example, a Skeleton’s data is stored in three tiddlers:

  • Skeleton is tagged as both Monster and Undead. It has two child tiddlers, listed below.
  • $:/dnd5e/phb-2024/statblock/Skeleton/Shortsword store data about the Skeleton’s shortsword attack, and is tagged with Skeleton and Definition.
  • $:/dnd5e/phb-2024/statblock/Skeleton/Shortbow store data about the Skeleton’s shortbow attack, and is tagged with Skeleton and Definition.
