No, they are selling all the pregenerated characters from the Core Rule Book and the X-Men Expansion book as PDFs. You can buy them on Drive-ThruRPG.com Since they are selling those characters, they likely do not want you to have the ability to make a copy of the character on Demiplane and print it out to PDF for free.
So you are saying it wonât affect my custom charactersâŚ
âŚAnd yet that sounds so problematic to print out THE POOL NOODLE!
Last update was in September of 2024 and that was more of the same on this, I think were being ignored now or abandoned.
Hi folks - weâve been working to roll out Print to PDF options across our Character Sheet system over the past few months. Youâve likely seen those capabilities appear in your sheet or youâve seen them announced in several places.
Since last fall, Marvel and Demiplane have been working to come to an agreed-upon method that allows for players to get their Marvel Multiverse Roleplaying Game characters exported to PDF. At this time, the agreed upon method is what @KevinH has highlighted above â offering the pre-generated Characters as PDFs over on DriveThru RPG.
This outcome doesnât cover instances where folks are making custom characters. I know this approach wonât work for everyone. If itâs something that is directly inhibiting your ability to play, please reach out to me directly in our Discord.
The teams at Marvel and Demiplane continue to listen and watch this thread. This topic continues to be an important one for me. Keep sounding off for support of the topic below â it helps make sure our collective efforts and recommendations on features for this and all other great games on our platform are reinforced with community support.

Being entirely honest, and apologies for being to the point on this, but this is a ludicrous situation.
There is no good reason to prevent people from exporting their custom characters to pdf, at all. If there is a reason, good or otherwise, then perhaps someone could share the reason(s) with us.
Also, and I know they are selling the character profiles in batches at DriveThruRPG (I have purchased them all), but they really should also allow exporting character sheets to pdf for existing Marvel characters contained in books that have already been purchased on Demiplane. At this point in time they are being anti-consumer by making life harder for their customers/fans for no good reason at all.
I really, really, hope that the decision makers on this see some sense and change their mind.

This is really unfortunate. Custom characters are literally the only value that the Demiplane character tools bring to the table, and many of us use Demiplane to build our characters, and then play with pen and paper at the table. Can this please be re-evaluated, even if only for custom characters?

This is beyond ridiculous having to basically pay multiple times for content you already have the only reason I got the rulebook on Demiplane was for the ability to create and print my custom characters. Marvel need to sort this out. Selling characters from the books on drivethrurpg.com is one thing but if i have already bought the book and demiplane content I shouldnât have to pay again.

I know that this is not your issue personally, but I am not happy with this. I have spent real money subscribing to your service (and Roll20) and purchasing game materials through Demiplane for compatibility with your application and I canâ even print out character sheets for my players to use. Since you havenât got cross-platform up and running yet, I have to make three different versions of a character if I want quick access to information (a Demiplane, a Roll20, and an offline copy) because clicking through tabs/windows is tedious. One wonders if this isnât a strategy to force all players to pay these costs to maximize your revenue. This needs fixing soon.
