HLRender

[winterstew]

I have always struggled as a game master running a big battle using electronic resources. Between having to switch tabs for characters, the brief delay due to load speed, and the lack of tactile memory cues; I just prefer to have some things on paper.

I wrote HLRender so that I could use the power of character design in Hero Lab but still have 5x8 stat block cards in a format similar to the layout in the bestiaries.
I finally feel like it is something that might be useful to others, so if you are OK with a Python 2.7 application, take a look.

HLRender 2.1 - added Google Sheets support

Just added Google Sheets support, so now in addition to being able to create stat block cards with Google Slides it can be used for generating a reference sheet of stats for the party as a spreadsheet.

Neat! Good job!

These are very good!

How do you handle stat blocks that don't fit on one page?

Sadly it can not dynamically create a new page if needed.

However if you are expecting a lot of verbiage, you can use a multipage template and then list all the pages you want to use as options to the renderer.
