Love the editor. Great tool to write stories. Please consider connecting with D&D Beyond for things like items, characters, monsters, etc. They already have so much content available (licensed D&D content and homebrew). And they have implemented a lot of the rules. I'd love to use Adventurekeep for managing storylines in my existing campaign at D&D Beyond.

It's definitely something I'd love to do. I have some ideas on how to make this work - unfortunately, D&D Beyond does not provide an API, so it won't be trivial. I'll be posting updates as I make progress on this.

Thanks for the feedback!

Check out https://5e.tools/ they have a great API.

I've had a look round there website and I can't see anything about an API. Can you point me in the direction of some documentation (or anything really)?

Not a great idea to hook a prospective business to a piracy site, no matter how good it is.

I thought 5e went open license again?

Specifically, 5e.tools includes full results (class features, items, spells, monsters, ...) from a large number of books, which are definitely not all open content.

the basic ruleset is free to use in commercial products under the OGL [1]. The official Wizards of the Coast published adventures are not free for distribution and is (legally) available only through authorized resellers like D&D Beyond and roll20.
