JV: will you be redesigning the monster stat blocks to conform to the new format?
You have the free will to agree or disagree.
You have the ability to act freely on the above choice regardless of the consequences.

For years, I've lived a double life. In the day, I do my job - I ride the bus, roll up my sleeves with the hoi-polloi. But at night, I live a life of exhilaration, of missed heartbeats and adrenalin. And, if the truth be known a life of dubious virtue. I won't deny it - I've been engaged in violence, even indulged in it. I've maimed and killed adversaries, and not merely in self-defence. I've exhibited disregard for life, limb and property, and savoured every moment. You may not think it, to look of me but I have commanded armies, and conquered worlds. And though in achieving these things I've set morality aside, I have no regrets. For though I've led a double life, at least I can say - I've lived.

Living under a rock lately?  The new format was previewed in March and is out now in the MM3.

Living in a toolbox lately?  Not everyone is waiting with baited breath on WotC's every move.

Reflavoring: the change of flavor without changing any mechanical part of the game, no matter how small, in order to fit the mechanics to an otherwise unsupported concept.
Retexturing: the change of flavor (with at most minor mechanical adaptations) in order to effortlessly create support for a concept without inventing anything new.
Houseruling: the change, either minor or major, of the mechanics in order to better reflect a certain aspect of the game, including adapting the rules to fit an otherwise unsupported concept.
Homebrewing: the complete invention of something new that fits within the system in order to reflect an unsupported concept.

Default module =/= Core mechanic.

Looking at the previews I don't see why not.  It's a fairly helpful and straightforward format.  

There's no need to be rude Feyberry.  We (that most certainly includes Qube) spend a decent amount of our free time putting together these HTML blocks so you (and the community) don't have to.  I think a little politeness is in order.

Yeah whatever. If you were really serious about it, you'd make a css stylesheet that creates classes and id's for all the various options for a statblock and put that up with an example html page. That way WotC can't claim copyright on monsters posted on their forums.

Wizards already can't claim copyright on monsters published here.  The most they can claim is a non-binding license.  So while Wizards can't stop you from publishing it elsewhere, they can publish it without paying you.  You don't lose the rights to your intellectual property just for posting it here.  Furthermore, this is not the place for such discussion.

No europe. With the delayed outcomes & lacking a steady suplier in the area, I have yet to lay my eyes on a MM3.

What I did, I was serious about. I did to improve this community (more specifically because Leichenreiter asked it to help the community monster manual: So people could easely show their stuff to other people, in a nice readable format. - so they didn't need to use jpegs with bad details). One of the requirements was that the boxes were used on this forum.

Might I note that, normally (though I haven't tested it), the generated html would also work on a normal html page. So you can buy some space on-line, and use my tool to generate the blocks, and use links on this community. Yes that means it will cost you. However, if its that important to you, I recon a few dollars won't be a problem.

Nothing prevents you from doing such a thing yourself. Heck, when I started to write the tool, I didn't even know of css, so you the advantage over me.



Currently BTW, I'm working under 2 strict deadlines (ending end september), at which point I'm moving. After that I'll have some time to work on my tool. Sorry about the delay everyone.

(Oh, and sorry about the post JV; I had to vent.)

What? It's not like I care if you vent.  I think you deserve to, after you put together that website.
