Hello DMs,

Here's a small update for Improved Initiative. The main change is the new Content tab on the Settings pane, where you can configure which Open5e sources will be loaded. As more sources are added to Open5e I've seen some requests for this functionality.

There are a few other optimizations and bugfixes:

  • Fixed some issues with Automatic Initiative Rerolls
  • Adjusted logins to last for four weeks instead of one
  • Improved performance of the Library Manager UI
  • Show fancier loading indicator for Statblock and Spell previews

Enjoy!

Hey Evan, thanks for the update. Just wanted to throw one suggestion at you: what about a spot to toggle whether someone is concentrating? Thanks again!

That's an interesting idea. Concentrating is currently supported through tags (it will even prompt for a concentration check) but I do like the idea of having it work more similar to reaction tracker.

Good to know! It's not surprising that it might be subsumed by another feature that I'm not proficient enough to have encountered. It generally doesn't occur to me to mark players as concentrating during an encounter, so my tables benefit from a minimum of concentration checks that probably make encounters easier than intended.

could i ask for an easier way to share statblocks from the website sometimes i like help working on monsters and its super hard to share things i pretty much have to take a bunch of screen shots.. i dunno if this could be fixed but if so youd be the greatest.. times 2

Hi Everett, I recommend copying the text from the JSON editor, this is the simplest way to share statblocks. Hope that helps!

Thank you greatly for the increased login duration. Monthly is perfect! Appreciate your work!

Hey Evan, first time commenting but I've been using Improved initiative for a couple years now and I appreciate your hard work. Any chance you're going to include Flee Mortals by MCDM similar to the Tome of Beasts?

Evan, hello, my name is Abner, and I'm Brazilian. My group and I love your website; it's truly amazing. Here's a suggestion: could you add the option for players to view and edit their own character sheets?

Hi Abner, I'm glad you love the app! Thanks for the suggestion. I don't have plans to add this feature right now.

Hey Evan, I love the website but it has been bugging out for me the last couple of weeks. Normally I've not had any issues, but recently it has continually crashed on me, and won't load for 15-20 minutes. but today, i just noticed that it has deleted every monster that i've imported. and every time i log in and out, it deletes the monsters i added last session. it has my recent encounters and characters saved, but even my old stuff is gone too. I'll delete this comment once this is figured out since what has happened lately is not an accurate representation of my overall experience after almost 2 years of usage.

Hi Jared, sorry you're running into this issue! I haven't heard of anyone else with this and I haven't made changes to account sync recently. Is it possible that a browser extension is interfering with the website?

I just saw that you included Tal'Dorei! I just started a campaign in that setting! Can't thank you enough for that!!
