5eMagic... merch?!

For those of you haven't noticed, we've been teasing a new merch store for a few weeks now, thanks to the incredible effort of my w...

v0.16.1 - a Pile of Bugfixes

This is a relatively minor "patch" release, mostly comprising of a collection of fixes based on what we've seen since the big release last week.

For the record, this new release has been amaz...

Stirring Up Some Discord

For a while now, I've been wanting to get a Discord server running, with special areas for our patrons to have a place to hang out and share their DM tips and tricks. And whatever else the communit...

v0.16.0 Released!

Gained 1d6 Charges After a Long Rest

It's been a long time coming, but today I'm excited to announce the release of v0.16.0, which I've suitably named after a common recharge mechanic for 5...

v0.15.0 Release - Shiny Things and New Things

So this is a somewhat small release on the front-end, but it's beginning a long project that will fundamentally change the back-end for the whole site. Nothing really to share there yet, but hopefu...

Sales Tax Changes for Some Patrons

Hello Partners, Keepers, and other supporters. Just a heads up that Patreon is changing some things next month.

I'll keep this as short as I can, but basically some supporters will...

ScheduleMy.Family: a Non-Gaming Tool I Made for My Own Use

As you all probably know, 5eMagic was born from me building tools I wanted to use in my own home games. In that spirit, and for our working-from-home parents with school-age children, may I present...

v0.14.0 Release: Mercenaries & Bounties

Continuing the tradition of building tools I need for my own game, I've added a couple new calculators in this release. They're pretty simple in their concept: you're calculating a price in both of...

Thankful in 2019

In a little more than a year, my little website idea has grown into a toolset for DMs with a big pile of ideas and plans for the future, and I have a couple hundred patrons who have made that possi...

v0.13.0 Released - Breathing New Life

So, you didn't ask for it, but today I'm releasing something I've wanted to do for my own needs for a long time.

5E's Reincarnate spell is a lot of fun with some incredible roleplay potential...

v0.12.0 - Going in Circles

You didn't ask for it, but you're getting it anyway.

Like much of the site, this is a classic case of me building something for my own use as a DM. I like the idea of visualizing the distinct...

Patreon Login Issues... But New Features

Some of you noticed a few days ago that you were unable to log in for several hours which turned out to be an issue with Patreon's API. Looks like we're having another issue, and a comment in their...

Detect Magic Fun in v0.11.0!

If you're like me, your players love to exercise their Detect Magic spell when it comes to magic items. I love it, because it's a fun shorthand. But I also hate it because I always...

v10.0.2 - See Ya Later, Locations

So, apparently some of our new features really didn't flesh well with the Locations system. On the plus side, it only affected Keepers. That's also the downside.

For now, I've disa...

A Fiery Little Something from My Game

A little deviation from the normal update here. Nothing about the 5eMagic site. Instead, I just thought I'd share a little something I've made for the main campaign I'm running. If that's not your ...

A Server, an Update, and an Interview Walk into a Tavern...

Hello, all!

After an interesting few days, I've migrated the 5eMagic system to a new server environment. It's been a fun... well, for me.

For the rest of the world...

v0.10.0 Released - Mostly Housekeeping

This morning I'm hesitantly releasing v0.10.0. There's a lot of behind-the-scenes updates that were a bit overdue, but it has ...

Bugfixes Galore - v0.9.1

So, yesterday's release didn't last long.

A number of bugs Keepers recently reported have been squished (I hope), and a few that no one else noticed.

<...

Release v0.9.0 with Much-Requested Features

Calling all Keepers... You asked for it. You got it.

Two oft-requested features have just been added to http://5emagic.shop 2019-04-02 19:41:16 +0000 UTC View Post

Shiny New Features for v0.8.0

So I'm pretty excited about this one.

Turn with me to page 142 of our holy DMG. Here we have two pages to provide a small bit of brain fodder for making a magic item more than ju...

v0.7.4 Released

Not a big release here, but I found that Keepers can't generate spellbooks with Spellweaver node runes (yeah, my PCs are in for a treat). So, I fixed that.

I know things have been a bit quiet...

v0.7.2 Patch Release

Not much to talk about here, but some browsers (namely Internet Explorer and iOS devices, but possibly others) had some issues using some features and navigating to certain parts of the site. That ...

Happy Holidays, Keepers!

Obviously today isn't a holiday for everyone, but it is a special day in my home. So regardless of what you are or aren't celebrating, I hope that this season brings you fun with friends, laughter ...

Release: v0.7.0

Well, it's not particularly exciting for anyone else, but I've [hopefully] just settled a serious bit of technical debt before it got way out of control.

v0.7.0 includes a complete overhaul of the s...

Testers Needed for Big/Invisible Change

Hey, patrons! First off, thanks as always for your support, both as financial backers and a community of users. This wouldn't be getting this attention without you.

When I first built the site, I ma...

v0.6.0 Already?!

So it's not entirely fair to version 0.5.x, but I've been working on a new feature for a little while, so we kinda just breezed past and on to 0.6.0. Sad day. But sixes are among my favorite numbers, ...

Read any good elven spellbooks lately?

Hey, Keepers, here's a little glimpse into a new tool I've been working on.

Patch Release: v0.5.1

Thanks to feedback from our Keepers, I've already been able to address a number of bugs in the new version. See the details on the ch...
