I see that I really have to go through all the spells and look for extra lines. Be patient and I'll try to go over the spell the next couple of days. I might tweak the final look of the PDF.
Yep i finally got the time to fix the sign-up-bug.
And while I was at it I changed the email provider for the forgotten-password-emails. Dont know if they have, but they shouldn't get stuck in the spam folders any more.
I've started to get a couple of emails about changes to the spells.
Im trying to go through the changes as they come in.
Some EE-spells have been revised and updated so if you are a heavy user of EE-spells, its time to print out a new spell book.
I would like to specially thank Sean, one of my users who sent me a list of small alterrations that I'd never would have seen.
After yesterday's major update the register / sign up function is broken. I'll try to take a look at it later today.
Ok, so the new spells have been added. Weeei !
- I know some of the descriptions are a bit off, Im gonna attend to them tomorrow. Feel free to send me a notice if you find some error with the spells, use the form on the /contact -page.
- I rewrote some of the pages and ran some tests, all should be good.. But if not, please use the contact-form to let me know.

It looks like there is a bug at my server provider and I need to get in touch with them (not doing this on a Sunday again soon..), a ticket is opened and Im hoping the issue will be resolved tomorrow or the day after.
You have to manage without the Xanathar's spells for a couple of days longer then planed.
After the update the new spells from Xanathar's Guide To Everything will be added. The page might go online and offline several times during the update and strange errors might occur.
The update is scheduled for EST 5:00am-12:00
Feel free to spread the word.
So, maintenance is over.
Facebook integration should be up and working. Small performance boost. But sorry, no new features.
Read More
Later today (in about 4-5 hours) the site will be down for maintenance. Don't know exactly for how long the site will be down. But hopefully this will fix some issues with the site.
It seems that Facebook have some issues with some of their services right now and It can affect users who login to the site using Facebook.
It's been a long time since I did the Stroll
So, times fly and features get postponed.
Some of you might remember that me and my GF moved in together this summer and that I really didn't have the time and energy to give the site it's full attention.
Well, let's just say I don't really need any more donations for flowers any more...
I've moved to my own place again and I actually switched jobs. These two things kinda take all the focus...
Fixed a bug that didn't let you add spells from a class to a spellbook, for example https://www.dnd-spells.com/spells/class/bard
This should now be fixed.
And well, sometimes they do actually sound good :)
So, I've added the option to include or exclude the spell-slot-info on the top of the generated Spell Cards / PDFs.
Thanks for the input and the kind words Jim.
The default color when you use the white layout is now black. And the size of the text on the spell and spell-light page is a bit bigger. Should be easier on the eyes when using the page for a longer time.
That's it for now =D

My GF thinks I drink to much beer, which is not true. I can still see my feet!
She's happy about the flowers though, so, thank you ;)
Any way, I haven't really had the time to build new features this summer. We've moved togheter and it took much time and effort to get things goings so I decided to get a more powerfull server for the page. I hope this will increase the performance and lower the loadtime for the pages for...

It took a couple minutes more to get the print/generate spell cards to work again. I see a huge difference in performance and I hope you do too.
Let me know if there's any function that stoped working after the update.
With this done, I can now start to map out the new version of the site.. custom spells...
I've been testing the site with a different setup and I'm very pleased with the results. The /spell and /spells_light will load waaaay faster.
Im planing to start at:

PDT: 4am
CEST: 13:00
I'll keep you posted with any changes.

I still in the middle of moving. This means no Internet, no RPG no computers.. I don't even know when the Internet will be installed (the horror !!!!).

65% wants to include custom spells as a feature.

Some of you have left some good comments, keep 'em coming..
The ability to select what classes can use the spells is of course something that we need.
My thoughts so far:

I get this question A LOT. Will this page support it, does it support it, where can I add my own spells and so on.
Add custom spells ? Merge them with the others? Create a separate page for these spells all together.
Open up for other games? Or try to make a template so we know that the spells "works" for D&D ?
Feels like a huge project either way.
So, help me out. Answer a few questions on the survey or send me messa...

You no longer see how many cantrips that are prepared in a spellbook.
You do how ever see the number of added cantrips in a spellbook and number of spells + prepared. Much easier and better overview when creating a new character. Especially when you start at a higher level than of level 1.
I hope you like it !

I was hoping to get the sorting order of the spells (cantrip -> 9) worked out before this weekend. But unfortunate I haven't had the time nor thought of a good way to fix it.
Just to make it a bit more easier on you I have gone back to call Cantrips "level 0" on some of the spell-pages. This will help you when you want to brows the spells by level.
Yeah, that's right. You are now able to generate PDFs / spell cards while using IE / Edge. My access to a windows-based computer is restricted so there haven't been much testing. I tried it in IE11 and Edge and it worked So I hope I can leave it there!
Let me know if it doesn't work for you.
But it would be nice if you include a Windows-version and IE / Edge -version for debugging.
But I have moved some resources over to another platform so users from America should have some fast downloads of the pages / files.
+I added (open in new browser) link on the /spell -page.
There was some problem with resetting the filters under the Class-spell-pages. Thanks to a user and a awesome step-by-step guide I was able to quickly re-create the problem and fix it.
I took a look on the Class-exclusive-pages and fixed the sorting-lists aswell.
Thank you John.

This time they wanted to be able to see just how many spells they have prepared in a spellbook. Kind of hard to keep count while playing and when you have imported all the spells from a class.
I decided to separete the number of prepared spells by cantrips and lvl 1 spells and higer.
Im still testing this, and you can see the number of active spells obove the Spellbook-icon or below the name of the spellbook.
Now the buttons work on the spells-light-index.
They will now change between +/- when you add the spells in the active spellbook.
Happy browsing.
The icons that does not update when your are adding or removing a spell from the spell-beta (light) page have been bugging me for a while now and it's time to fix it.
I dont know how many of you use it, but it quite nice not to have to reload the page every time you add or remove a single spell from the active spellbook when browsing around. The buttons work, but the state +/- does n...

This week to celebrate 8000 users I ran a little donation campaign to let users get rid of the ads for a lower price. Also the plan was to match the sum of a donation and give it to the Save the Children foundation. We did hit the 8 000 mark which for me, is a huge step. But..

To celebrate 8k members I'll double up on the donation. It only takes $5 to disable the ads. Of Course you can donate other sums as well.
For every dollar donated I will match the sum and donate to the Save the Children foundation.

Thank you for all the kind words I've gotten over these past months. Not only about the new design but for the core features on this page.

The default size of the spell cards have been A4 (a European but non-North American standard). There's not much in difference between the A4 and US Letter so I decided to go with the latter. I've tried a couple of prints and I can't see any difference between spell card in Letter and A4.
If there are some users who would like the A4 back, let me know and I'll add a radio button where you can select the size of paper. But try it out first.
I've gotten some emails from users with the request of only show the spell from "that" class. But, I haven't really seen a use for it when you so easily can use the filters. But I decided to go ahead with it any way.
Under the menu Class you will find the "class exclusive" spells and under the menu Spells you will find a subpages with classes which have "class available" spells. I hope some of you will find it useful.
But I decrease the loading time of some of the pages with a second. Doesn't sound like much for some, but in the long run it will make a difference.
I'll soon force the visitors to use https over normal http, this too will help with the page load. I'll leave this release for 12-24 hours and monitor the perfomance before I do something else.
Fixed a bug on the Spell-light-beta-page that made it not render correctly if you were logged in but hadn't created a spellbook.

A little "how-to" meets "FAQ"
Just so you quickly will be able to get going with your spell books and spells.

I don't know if you like stats or not, but here it is. Well, some kind of beginning at least.
I've gotten some PMs from users that feel that the scroll was a bit strange. And I agree, the smooth-thingy didn't work out and had to go.
Im still tweaking and the page might feel a bit slow at times. Files will be compressed and the respons should get better.

Read MoreSo, almost two days have passed and things are going.. ok.. A little bug here, a typo there. Bear with me for a couple of days. Some optimization needs to be done as well.
A couple of people have approached me about the new layout. Asking if there is a chance that they can change the background color to some thing more dark. And yes.
If you have an account you can navigate to User Profile --> Layout and choose from six color schemes and if you want it on light or dark background....
Trying different ways of interacting with the navigation. In this image the spellbooks has it's own navigation that follows you around throughout the pages.
Wednesdays looks like it have the lowest number of visitors of the week... so perhaps we should go for it?
Read MoreWill you help me out? Just some questions about how you use the page, layouts and such.
Read MoreI noticed that some mails for the password-reset didn't get delivered to the users so Im trying out another solution. I hope this will work out for you.
You are now able to:
1. Register a new account using Facebook.
2. Login with facebook if the email address is the same as on D&D-spells
3. Connect your D&D-spells-account with a Facebook account for easy login. Take a look under User Profile.
The new Spells-page included a little bug for the navigation.
When new users created a spellbook or when none was active, the navigation got a bit scared and ran away.. This made all the books sympathise with the navigation and dedicated to roll a natural twenty on a hide-roll.
Im sorry to say I don't have the time to fix the issue right now, but the books are back in the game (or naviga...
On the spell-index-page "Spells Light" i added some icons so it's easier to see that you can expand the rows to see the spells description. You can click on the right side of the name all the way past the Level column.
You are now able to add and remove spells from the list to the active spellbook. But right graphics will not at this moment change. So the button will still be green or red until you reload the page. The buttons will not update when activate another spellbook from the na...
It looks like you haven't been able to share your spellbooks with the public for a while. I've missed that this feature was down.
You have to let me know about this kind of things people =D
You can now filter the source of the spell with a filter on the spell-index-page. No need to select yes/no under EE and SCAG. Just hit source instead.
So I'm working on a new version of the spell page. Mostly to be able to add spells to an active spellbook without a page-reload. But I didn't really like the bloated information on the old version (that some of you really like).
On the new page you are able (at this moment) sort by name or level, search by name or description. Add selected spells to a book or generate a PDF with spell cards.
You will find the page in the Read More
Sorry for the fuck-up.
Thank you Nareshkendel for the heads up
Mistakes were made...
In the last update it snuck up a bug that doesnt allow the users to select multiple spells and use the button "Add selected to active spellbook".
You can still add them from the spell-page or use the buttons on the right on the spell-index-page.
I'll try to sort this out momentarily
So now you should finally be able to toggle the prepared spell / icon and have a correct view of the state.
Thank you so much for your patience.

This means that you can filter, click on a spell to read more about it and then return to the spell-index and last list is still active. The list will persist even if you close the browser.
With some browsers the links for the active filters will disappear. So I added a button called "Reset your filter". Use this to get a full list of spells.If you visit the spell-page or a certain spell that is included in your current book and switch to a new one, the add / remove button for that spell will not change / updated to inflict the changes (perhaps in the future). But of course the spell...

But now Im getting better and is slowly starting to code again.

So I decided to give the members an option to get rid of the ads. I got a couple of questions about this over the last couple of weeks.
So, when you buy me a beer (donate up to the sum of $10) the ads will be removed when you are logged in.
I have to manually add the users who have donated, and if you use another email address when you donate just give send me a mail with what address you used and Ill add it to your account.
If you have donated under the sum...
- Is the new navigation better? worse?
- Is it easier to go to a specific spell when you view a book? (it should be on smaller devices)
- A better view for users with higher resolution.
- New section with stats.
- And probably some more
+ Be able to activate another spellbook from the navigation.
+ New look for the spell-page. Easier to add / remove spells and a better overview of that...
A updated navigation is on the way. It makes it easier to select which spellbook is active and the spellbook-page is getting a new look to make it easier to view from smaller devices.
I'm rewriting the spell-page to be able to expand more information about the spell without the need to open it up in another tab. You should also be able to add a spell to the active spellbook without the need of a page-reload.
Just added a highlight to the "Activate book"-button under Manage Spellbooks.
Remember that you have to have a activated spellbook to be able to add more / custom spells.
For clarification I have now added the text prepare / prepared to the toggle function of a spellbook.
The number of reported bugs is down to zero (I hope that you just blindly accept an error) and I dont get many new requests for new features. I feel like the site works "ok" and I can move on. The site will need a new look and some features might be rewritten and optimized.
The rate of new registered users have lowered a bit and about hundred new users is created ever other day (I still think it's freakin' awesome number).
I get some donati...
The PDFs now have the spellbook name in the top if you generate them from a spellbook.
Now the cantrips from the Sword Coast Adventure's Guide is added to the site. Remember to cast responsibly ! ;)
Read MoreIn the class-exclusive list of spells I had to remove the feature to be able to select a couple of spells and add them to the activated spellbook. This feature will be back in a later version. You can still single-click to add or remove the spells from the icon to the right.
I added a feature where you can share a link to your spellbook. There is no way to copy / add / change anything with the spells or the books, but they can view it.
Hope you like it.
When you work with your spellbook and press the star to toggle the spells state, the information is sent to the server and the spell do in facet change state, but the icon for the star won't be updated and you cant use the filter-button to view only the prepared spells. As for now, you have to toggle the spells and if the icon won't change, do a page reload and the correct state should be loaded. You can change all the spells and then...
Read MoreI've added the feature under the Classes menu. The pages ain't pretty but they work. Perhaps later on I'll add some class information, care to provide me with it?
Warlock - Exclusive
I've gotten help from some friends that will go through the spells with me and check the description and move the (components info) to the Components column and split the info about At Higher Levels to it's own column. The text in the description will be formatted for easier read.
There might be some formatting error on the print with special characters but hopefully it's fixed during the day.

Ooh, and I added an about-page.
Now when that is done the EE spells will be accessed without an account. But of course you need to have an account if you want to save a spellbook and keep track of your spell slots.
The next update will be out later this week.
Some quick info. You have 10 slots, every slot can be increased to 10. If there is a reason why you need to be able to increase it further let me know.
It doesn't look pretty in every mobile and landscape mode is prefered. I'll put it on the to-do-list.
When you view your spellbook for the first time the slots will be created and the page will reload.
Ooh, and for every beer that gets donated I'll code for an hour ;)
Have a nice weeke...
Read MoreYes, spell slots are finally here. Nothing fancy and nothing that looks what class or level you are.
In general there is 9 slots, I added one more if you have any house rules or I've missed some feature or so. And yes, the normal spellcaster can have 4 spells in the first spells slot, but here you can toggle between 0 - 10.
Many users asked for this feature and I hope you will like it.
Made a tweak for the toggel-preparation function and every thing should work again.

First, you need to create a spellbook "'Manage spell books" under your profile. I doesnt matter if you have 1 or 24 books, you need to activate one before you can begin (see image). An active book has the star next to it and the word "Yes". Then you can just browse around on the spell-page and select the spells you want to either create a spell card from or use...
Read MoreSo, Im a bit behind the schedule.. I've been working on the spell-toggle-thingy for the active spellbook when I get a couple of minutes to spare, and I'm not really there yet. I think i need to revise the code and start from another angle.
I've gotten a couple of emails with correction of the spell description and even some where the spell is associated to the wrong class. It looks like it had more errors than i first though...
It's been awhile since my last update of the page. Just popped in to let you know I updated two spells that didn't have complete descriptions. If you stumble upon more spells that are missing descriptions or have a some other kind of issue please let me know.
So, now you should be able to toggle the prepared-status without a page reload. Use the stars. I noticed that you sometimes need to hit the stare twice so be patience. After the toggle you do need to change the filter or sort once. So if you only filter on "Prepared" and hit the filled stare to turn it off, you still need to change the filter or sort the spells in another order. Im gonna tweak this a bit.
Please let me know if...
I pushed a new version just now but I had to revert back immediately. The release worked great in develop mode but in production we had some issues in the /spellbook/view-section. I need a bit more time to debug. But I think you sone enough will be able to toggle prepared / not-prepared with out the page reloading all the time.
Have a nice weekend.
I can't believe it! Im getting some nice feedback every day and a couple of requests every week. Im really glad that people find this tool useful.
The number of error-reports is down to around 0,2 / week so perhaps it's time to leave the beta-stage. But I keep adding more and more features and I do rewrite the code to optimize the load time for the pages.
You got the "prepared" feature last week and by now I really wanted to fix...

You can now prepare and un-prepare your spells in a spellbook, just toggle the stars. I'm sorry for the page-reload between every click but it seems like I dont have much free time on my hands. An update WILL come.
Ofcourse you are able to filter the spells by prepared under the /view spellbook-page.
Filter by Prepared and then choose how you would like to sort them. Level and Name is my favorite. How about you?
Read MoreThe beta and news will be back on the front page in a later release. I still need to tweak it a bit.
Read MoreSo I rebuilt the backend to be able to manage the articles in a better way. The front page was starting to get a bit long. From now on you will just see a couple of news and beta announcements on the front page and you have to go to the /articles page to see them all. It's not all tested so don't get too upset if something is a bit off.
Well, a couple of days ago we got the 700th user. I get a lot of emails from users who love this tool and are eager to see what's next.
Even if I don't have the same amount of time new features will be added.
In a couple of days / weeks you can look forward to:
I've cleaned up how the print will look from the "view" Spellbook page. Remember that it's up to the browser how to output the information. Ex. Safari will print the spells as the page is, while Google Chrome will fill the width of the page with one spell (as meant).
I've added the ability to choose how the PDF will sort the spells when it's generated. By default it's the default order..duh! (level, a-z), but you can choose to generate the PDF by the way the tables state.
It's important that you first sort the spells and after that's done, you can check / mark the spells.
When you go to your profile you are now able to change your email address, update the password and delete your account. Of course this will delete all of your spellbooks.

You are now able to rename the spellbooks. Go to Manage Spellbooks and choose the spellbook from your list, keep an eye out to the right side.
The summer vacation is over and now there is time to get going.. I've got some nice input from a couple of users and added a few requests.
It didn't take so long to fix. All the spells from the ELEMENTAL EVIL PLAYER'S COMPANION is now added to the site.
To be able to access them you need to have an account and be logged in (will be listed with the other spells). This might be revised when the beta has ended.
I got a mail from the user Sean asking me if Im going to add the collection of spells from Elemental Evil. A couple of months ago I thought no. I think I got stuck on the line "This supplement provides new options for player characters in that epic campaign. If your Dungeon Master allows, these options can be used in other campaigns as well." and thought that there is no need to include these spells.
I decided to look thin...
Ok, so I got informed that you couldn't add a collection / group of spells from the spell-page unto the active spellbook ( Add selected to active spellbook ), this is now fixed. Sorry for that miss.
Where, what, when..
Yeah, I decided to give the design a nudge. I hope it's for the better. And I added some nice response-messages when you add/remove spells and spell books.

Wow, it didn't take long for you to grow over 100 registered accounts. I've received some nice inputs and donations. I'm glad that other players find this tool helpful and I'm looking forward to come up with new features.
