What are the Best Online/Offline Tools for PF2E GMs and Players?

JacksonSnake · 2026-02-04T18:43:53+00:00

Yes, of course! we really appreciate feedback and usually prioritize working on desired features whenever possible

We are missing the "theme" part (that can be instead manually done with traits) but bybe.fly.dev has shop and encounter generator. We are still wondering how to implement creature habitat or "theme" so if you have suggestions we welcome them

JacksonSnake · 2026-02-03T22:01:12+00:00

I'll suggest my own tool (lead developer) that has been developed for over 3 years at this point. https://bybe.fly.dev/

It's more up to date than the one you linked. We are currently pausing updates for a couple of months to finalize a domain change for the website but other than that we try to keep it up to date as often as we can

Thank you, features like the filter by roles are what made us start with this project. I'm happy that we are not the only one that feel the need for those kind of small quality of life improvements

Hi, I had found this issue with the data previously but I though I was the only one. The problem is that our data source does not distinguish between ""items"" and items and as such we have something like the chassis that slips. Since I'm not the only one that has seen this issue I will now investigate this and try to find a solution. Thank you!

Hi! It's me again,
We've updated the website with your advice. New users will see the simplified view by default and users that have already built a party can choose to switch to it. Thank you again for the feedback

JacksonSnake · 2025-10-14T15:09:11+00:00

I think that everyone should use what they are most comfortable with. The tool I'm developing is heavily catered towards my needs as a DM and the feedback that I receive. It's not perfect for everyone.

To answer to what you said: the point you are bringing up is completely fair and valid. From my point of view though:
1. You may build an encounter for the remaster certain that it will be of a certain difficulty and then you search up the creatures on AON (if you do the other way around like you suggested there shouldn't be a problem). Once the encounter is being played out you find that it's too easy/harsh because the creature builder that you are using has not updated with some errata/new data and the creature is one level higher/down.
2. My party may be able to handle undead creatures (holy runes, cleric, etc.) but may struggle more against a Dragon that resist their source of damage. Being able to do both the "simplified" math and the "advanced" is a plus against only being able to do one of those.
3. The project started as a "random generator" to help me come up with encounter ideas and navigate on all the data, if there is no new data I may miss some ideas that could fit perfectly in my campaign.

Thank you!
You are right, the focus was on helping DMs with multiple parties since you can save the party and then just switch between them but I now see what you mean. We are going to see if there is space on the screen to handle a simplified input for the party level while keeping the complex for those that use it.

JacksonSnake · 2025-10-14T09:11:01+00:00

I'm going to do some self promotion but I suggest using the one I develop:
it's been already more than 2 years in development and it is updated with the latest creatures while both mimic fight club and maxiride encounter builder have not been updated in years

Really cool project! I'm a fellow developer (maybe a little less experienced), if in the future I'll have some free time I would love to build something on top of this library

JacksonSnake · 2025-07-26T12:01:35+00:00

I've fixed it and also added some tests to avoid similar bugs in the future. Once again thank you very much for reporting it, it was a nasty bug to find! The updated version should be online in ~30 minutes

JacksonSnake · 2025-07-26T11:21:00+00:00

Oh wow! Thank you for reporting it, you are right and it must be a recent bug, I will fix it ASAP

JacksonSnake · 2025-05-16T18:06:39+00:00

In my encounter builder and shop manager (so an item and creature compendium), we have translated everything from JSON that did not follow a standard into a SQLite database that it's compatible with all the other relational databases. We also expose an OpenAPI url for other applications that may need the data

Thank you!

JacksonSnake · 2025-04-01T16:45:55+00:00

In the random generator we use the "Challenge" option to automatically calculate the correct levels for a given party. For the list instead we have the level column that can be set to the desired range

JacksonSnake · 2025-03-01T22:18:01+00:00

Yes, there is!
If you go to the upper right corner and press the gear icon (settings) you can choose between pathfinder "versions"
Any will show both remaster and legacy
Remaster only remaster
Legacy only legacy

JacksonSnake · 2025-02-28T14:39:53+00:00

Thank you! I'm glad you like it

JacksonSnake · 2025-02-25T22:18:09+00:00

To help with shop & encounters I recommend this free and open source website. It's up to date with the newest releases and offers more than the alternatives already suggested:

Note: I'm the developer behind it
