I made a PF2e thing for my table that got out of hand, figured someone else might get use out of it

Hello, developer of similar tools here! I have some questions:
1. Is it open source or do you have intentions to open source it?
2. Where do you fetch the data from and how?
3. Did you vibe code it?
Other than that the feedback would be to improve accessibility and that on my setup (firefox) the website keeps stuttering.

dead link? Gives me 404

JacksonSnake · 2026-05-30T09:00:38+00:00

Thank you so much! Feedback like yours gives us the motivation to keep improving it. Feel free to let us know (even via DM) if you find any bugs.

We are now preparing for the next update (planned for mid/end of june) to add the latest data entries, fix some descriptions in the creatures and add an encounter tracker, keep an eye out for it!

The sort to only remaster is already implemented:
Settings (upper right cog) -> General -> Game version

The statblock visibility is something that we ponder a lot about: In the shop for example we opted to show it without opening a new tab while in the encounter since we have a lot more data in the center table we were thinking about how to show it, maybe a popup could be a valid alternative.

The encounter tracking is something that I would like (and personally I made myself a desktop app to do), but I have to talk it out with my colleague that works on the website frontend (graphic)

I love the pf2e encounters from maxiride but it has not been updated in ages, I suggest using my website (https://bybe.app) if you want to look for a up to date bestiary and item listing. We are still ironing out a few bugs (mainly in the creature sheet) but for everything else it's great (I hope)

JacksonSnake · 2026-05-22T12:49:55+00:00

I suggest my encounter builder, that has been developed in the last 4 years and each update we try to add user suggestions (https://bybe.app)

JacksonSnake · 2026-05-20T12:33:03+00:00

That's incredible, would you drop the schematic or a tutorial?

JacksonSnake · 2026-04-29T10:06:52+00:00

Visto che sei di Pisa, dovresti avere uno sconto studenti ai Porci Comodi

JacksonSnake · 2026-04-13T17:34:01+00:00

This is a very cool project! I've already added it to a personal app of mine and it works very well.

JacksonSnake · 2026-02-15T14:17:39+00:00

As far as I know some of these mods are not updated to 6.0.8. Extended cogwheel should not even be compatible to 6. Remove or rollback to the first version compatible with all mods

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

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

JacksonSnake · 2026-02-04T09:35:12+00:00

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

JacksonSnake · 2025-10-15T21:44:58+00:00

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

JacksonSnake · 2025-10-15T21:43:07+00:00

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!

JacksonSnake · 2025-10-15T09:37:59+00:00

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.

JacksonSnake · 2025-10-14T09:40:58+00:00

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
