Fantasy Grounds 5e Auto Web Site - DM Testers wanted
Hi
I have developed an auto web site generator for 5e FG Campaigns. (May work for pathfinder games as well)
Its based on uploading your DB.xml, Dmasters campaign file, and a zip file of your campaign images.
You can see the result from my own FG campaign here.
https://gamefungus.mooo.com:8083/cam...erg%20Journeys
The idea is that ALL you need to do is upload the db.xml file, into the management interface and the site is auto generated.
You then give out the above URL to your players, where 'Jarlesberg%20Journeys' is replaced by your own campaign name.
After each session, just upload the current db.xml to revise the player site. No more manually updating other sites, and players can look up info on your campaign with out the host server running.
Anyone want to give it a try , let me know.
I'm still testing the XML parser, so i need a variety of db.xmls to test it out.

Wow! Looks really cool will definitely try it out. Question. What do you mean by “dmasters campaign file”?

Interesting idea. You will run into some legal issues with the "and a zip file of your campaign images" as there will likely be copyright infringement and DMs don't have access to the images of a WotC product to create the zip.
Also, the site shows a lot of information about the characters (and possibly the campaign) that a DM might not want the rest of the players to know. Is there a way to filter what gets displayed? For instance, say I don't want the players knowing the inventory of every character. Can I remove that part of the parsing?I never claimed to be sane. Besides, it's more fun this way.

Stupid question: your site is Golarion and that is Pathfinder default setting. Why is this 5e at all?

Indeed, I'd echo what Nickademus says above. I would not be uploading images which are copyright and in most cases anyway you would not want to reveal maps which the players have not already seen. So I would be leery about the image thing.

If the site were password protected a user has a fair use right to material he has purchased. He must take reasonable precautions to protect the material. A player could screen shot and steal something during the game after all.
As for exposing images not seen, if it is using the db.xml, it should know if the GM has shared the image and therefore is known?
