Hey; appreciate the help! Though it's easier if you can submit that through the #proofreading channel in the Patreon Discord server. Let me know if you have any issues accessing it!

2024-09-20 02:54:47 +0000 UTCHey DragnaCarta - as I've been going through the new draft, I've been submitting pull requests for typos I've noticed to your github repo. Do you want that kind of feedback? If not, let me know and I'll just fix them in my local copy.

2024-09-18 04:12:16 +0000 UTCUnfortunately not, sorry! Formatting the guide into a GMBinder-esque PDF takes a substantial amount of time, and would extend each release date by weeks or more. It's a common request, but I unfortunately just don't have the bandwidth to put those together at the moment :(

2024-06-17 21:09:28 +0000 UTCIf I’m missing completely sorry. But are there easily printable pdfs for the guide?

2024-06-15 14:58:55 +0000 UTCSo I have had my own google sheet that I've been using for the longest time, but something doesn't seem to line up. Did the Monster CRs get edited somehow compared to this document: https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-N4m46K77hpMVnh7upYa? In my google sheet for party level 6, a CR 4 monster is 38 according to Tier II, but Challenge Rated has it at 60?
