Hello everyone!
We just pushed out a highly-requested update to monster stat blocks to use the familiar format used in all other D&D products.
Monsters Listing and Details
Whenever you visit the Monsters Listing or the details page for a monster, you'll see the new format:
We are trying out a new tooltip style as you see in the new stat block. The loud green and purple colors didn't fit well with the stat block feel, so we're trying to be more subtle. Let us know your thoughts on how well that works.
Print View
We've also heard that many players like to use DDB to print out monsters, items, and spells. While more permanent solutions (like spell/ monster cards) are on the roadmap, we have dramatically improved the printability of many of our pages with this update.
An example monster print view:
You can also see the changes on Compendium pages (and more):
Again, plenty more improvements to make content more useful when printing are on the way, but we hope this is a good stopgap.
That's all for today. We're working hard on getting the mobile alpha out (soon) and the first phase of the character sheet revamp in parallel with these quality of life changes.
Thanks!
More of this! I print everything!
Looks great to me! Thanks for the hardwork!
I'm not a huge fan of the underline to indicate modal popups but I think I could get used to them.
Absolutely love the adjusted printing capability.
Thank you so much for the update, this is going to make my life that much easier when I play in person.
Just an idea for future improvement: what do you say about a tool that lets you print more than one monster together in the same pdf/page? For example, if I have to print a lot of stat blocks for small minions/monsters, it would be very useful to be able to print them all in the same page. Saves paper use too.
Thank you very much!
I second this approach!
