I know that if this is going to be a feature, it almost certainly won’t be available until the full launch, but is there going to be support for third party books on PFNexus? I’d really like to see the books like the BattleZoo books and Sandy Petersen’s Cthulhu Mythos book become available to use on the platform.
Alternatively, if there are no plans for this, will there be a way for us to put this stuff (And content that we ourselves write) into our own Nexus libraries as a homebrew section?
To add to this - what will the policy be for creating custom/homebrew items (magic items and consumables particularly, but also standard items)? Will there be templates to add specific traits and/or abilities to items and have them affect the character sheet?
Homebrew will absolutely affect the digital character sheet. We know it wouldn’t be too useful otherwise. We’re not quite ready to share more details yet (as we’re still finalizing all the elements), but we’ll keep everyone posted when we can!
yeah i’m a bit bummed on any real lack of information about it. I feel like the Roll20 merger really fucked up a lot f the cooler plans demiplane had. No tales of the valiant builder is also a huuuuuge bummer too.
I really hope this happens; it’s the only reason I don’t pay for the Demiplane membership. They should allow importing Pathbuilder compendiums, which would let us import Battlezoo content we own, thus using them with the Demiplane Character Creator.
Why would I pay to have my players gain access when content I own isn’t shown for them in the character creator? Regardless of whether you can otherwise browse 3rd party sourcebooks directly.
Hey quirken, I wanted to double check what you mean by content you own not showing for players you’ve shared it with in the character creator. When sharing content with others it absolutely should allow them to use anything you’ve purchased when creating characters. If for some reason it’s not doing that then I’d recommend reaching out to our support team.
To clarify, I meant that I’ve purchased a bunch of Battlezoo (aka Roll For Combat) third-party source books for Pathfinder 2E. They include a JSON file that lets you use character options from their books in the Pathbuilder character builder.
The problem is that Demiplane has no way to import or display that content. So in order to use a character builder, players have to use either Pathbuilder or Foundry VTT to build their characters.
It doesn’t matter that Demiplane’s character builder is “better” because you can only use Paizo materials. So we have to use less ideal character builders. If I could import that Pathbuilder JSON into Demiplane for use with the character builder, that would make it worth paying for the subscription (which I don’t currently do)
I think there not being a way to make Homebrew yet is the only thing I’ve had to complain about Demiplane so far. I got my subscription from Roll20 and have loved it (was recommending it up and down after finding it) and been using it regularly and love how easy it’s been to create Daggerheart characters and have been looking forward to also running Cyberpunk TTRPG but what started me thinking was a stray thought before purchasing the Cyberpunk ruleset. “There’s some decent homebrew for Cyberpunk, I wonder if I’ll be able to use it?”
After realizing that wouldn’t be the case, I put the purchase on hold and now that I plan on creating Daggerheart content and want to be able to use it in games, I’m starting to get kinda glum about this. Hopeful now that I’ve seen a few posts about Homebrew being worked on, but now I see that’s been the case since 2021 I’m big sad.
