Content

If you don't know where to start, please see the Getting Started Video.

Before you can use some of the features of DDB Importer you must link your Patreon account within Foundry using the button in the Core Settings for DDB Importer or you can generate a unique key by using the following link: https://activate.ddb.mrprimate.co.uk/ . These generated keys will remain valid for 30 days after you cancel your Patreon support.

The best way to get in touch and ask troubleshooting questions is via Discord https://discord.gg/rF6XGUa3gE if you're not sure which channel, please use #help.

To update a key go to the module settings and click on the Core setup button.

On the core setup page find the box called Patreon Key at the bottom of the form and delete the contents and paste (ctrl+v) into the field.

Rien Sharp

This is an incredible module for Foundy VTT, thank you!!!

Greg Jones

fantastic module

Sean Howard

This Module made my game what it is! Thank you for working this hard!

Seatbelt

Extraordinary, thankyou so much!!!

robert schaefer

Module update erased tons of player journal notes inside their character sheets. Data just vanished and now they are upset with me. I had journals/bios turned off on the DBB setting. Really embarrassing situation.

MrPrimate
>>103553629

If you're using a journal entry in the character sheet, then in sounds like maybe you're using Tidy Sheet. Did you also update to the latest 5e version and Tidy sheet, as there was a change which meant that the journal sheet data needed to be migrated as it was stored in the wrong place. See https://github.com/sdenec/tidy5e-sheet/issues/627

Thank you for all of this work!

I’ve been a supporter for over a year and deeply appreciate all your work. It has revolutionized my, and my players’ experience. I have a question. Will my patreon key work with more than one instance of foundryvtt? I’m going to be visiting a friend who has their own foundry install and am trying to figure out if I can let him use my importer key? I suspect not and don’t want to do something stupid by mistake?

Travis Bigrigg

I have joined as a Patron. I was able to import DDB characters and source books and was able to generate fttadv for Waterdeep Dungeons of the Mad Mage. My question is how do I import the adventure into FTT? New to Foundry and any assistance/advise would be appreciated.

2023-05-07 08:17:02 Hi, you need to use the Adventure Muncher tool, you can find out more in the tutorial video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMaJHLQORWo&t=408s

I joined a little while back and cannot get the DDB importer to work at all. I have reinstalled Foundry, changed to earlier versions, worked with my buddy (who recommended it) to troubleshoot but got nowhere. I have the module installed but am unable to see/activate it as a module in any new/existing world. I also have no way to edit its Core functions like it shows in the tutorial so am pretty much at square one with no way to advance. Any advice/thoughts?

MrPrimate
>>118720658

That's very strange, can you join the Discord and post some screen shots and version information in the #help channel?

Eric Tennison
>>118720658

Sorry for the slow reply, I will post some screenshots on discord. Are there particular things you want to see in those images?

MrPrimate
>>118720658

Screenshots of the installed module, and then in a world a screenshot of the Foundry and D&D5e version

Richard Jones

I'm attempting to yet again create a fttadv for Xanathar's guide to everything... Is this book just not availible

MrPrimate
>>122463808

It often runs out of memory on some computers l, due to how table linking works, due to the large number of tables. Improving it is on my backlog.

William Shumpes

Does the DDB only download a few monsters? I'm looking for a specific one, but I don't see It.

Patrick Roark

Hi, I'm trying to import class and class features and it seems to be skipping over Drakewarden subclass for Ranger even though I own it. It appears to be pulling everything else.

MrPrimate
>>124899072

Did you recently purchase it, and can you create a character with the subclass within DDB?

Richard Hilge

doesn't seem to want to download monsters from grim hollow or drakkenheim (i own both on beyond). i can individually get them to download, but not when i select munch monsters

Mitch

Hi I'm having an issue. As soon as i created a key to connect my patreon subscription, I'm no longer able to open the "Core Setup" menu within foundry. I was following the video guide exactly, imported spells, items, subbed to import monsters and can no longer access the main settings for DDB Importer to input my subscription key. I've tried creating a new game, disabling all other modules, resetting DDB settings to default, resetting all game settings to default, re-installing the module, even re-installing foundry. Cannot open the core settings menu at all

affinno

When Foundry eventually updates to v12, am I going to have to re-munch all my monsters, etc?

Ray Struden

Morning! I'm new here and I don't know if my question has been resolved before or not. Here I go: I've seen that in the compendium there are Race, Background, Classes, Subclasses... But I can't find any way to import them from DnD Beryond to Foundry VTT. Is there any way to do it?

MrPrimate
>>140106326

Hello, it's on the tab/section called Characters in the DDB Muncher screen.

Alejandro Garcia

Hi Mr. Primate good morning!, unless I am much confused, the Coffe Tier link does link to a Dec 1 2020 message, does this mean the December key work also this month?

MrPrimate
>>50619917

Good Morning Alejandro! I've not posted the January key yet so don't worry! The December key will work for a few more days and there will be a few days overlap when I post the new keys.

Jared Fritz

My man, first Patreon I've ever supported, best $4 I ever spent so far, keep it up!

yovy lund

Thank you so much for building this tool! This is the best $4 extension to Foundry on any planes, material or astral. ~Can't wait to much em all for $4! Keep up the great work!~

Tony Z.

It's Feb 14, and there's still no February key? Love the module so much, but the key juggling is less than ideal...

MrPrimate
>>53618870

Hi Tony, I updated the post from January with the new key details - it _should_ have sent an update. I understand about the key juggling - hoping to address this soon.

Alessandro Di Stefano

HEy MrPRimate a question, with this your module is possbile to import source book from Beyond (like Xanathar)?

MrPrimate
>>53801539

Not really - it's intention is to get characters and monsters in for you to play with in foundry.

Chris Couture

Hello MrPrimate, the monster parsing was so so for me, I figure its maybe because I need a newer key? I just joined is there a new key per month?

Chris Couture
>>54359607

I got about 190 imported monsters from the MM and about 7 other books. I noticed a lot missing like Beholders and Dragons. I'll try to find and ask on the discord.

2021-08-15 16:48:42 It looks like D&D Beyond may have changed their monster format. I've only been able to import about 1/4 of the available monsters, the rest are "parse failed". VTT Assets is doing the same thing which is why I think it might be a problem with the source. Any ideas? (I'm on version 0.2.1)

There was a change - if you update to the latest version it should be fixed. I think this is 0.4.17

JG Wentworth

Hey MrPrimate! Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I have a few races that I can't change the icon on. Is there a setting I need to change on DDB importer, or Muncher? Thanks!

MrPrimate
>>59488931

If they are in a compendium you need to drag them into your world first, update and then add them back, it's a current limitation of Foundry, but will be fixed in the next big release.

joseph macgregor

anyone gone to version 0.8.5 on foundry and having troubles importing?

MrPrimate
>>60597047

There is a beta branch for undying+ patreons, if your not at that tier you'll have to wait till the weekend!

2021-08-15 16:48:16 On 0.7.10, the module will not allow me to paste or type anything into the Cobalt Cookie or Patreon Key fields.

Hello! I have been seeing issues with the eldritch claw tattoo. It does not add the plus 1 to attack and damage rolls. Wondering if anyone has had similar issues.

Luka Tonkovic

Quick question, i'm probably dumb, but i can't import Artificer for some reason, anyone know why?

MrPrimate
>>62853983

Can you provide a character link? Easier to troubleshoot in the Discord if you're on it

Jason Bergman

Quick comment: I LOVE the importer, and it's great that you update it so frequently (seems like every day, or even more than once a day??). As a rule, I never run updates before a session, so that nag message is annoying. Can you set it so it only appears with major changes or something?

MrPrimate
>>63308383

There is a secret setting that you can turn on to stop the nag messages, open the browser console (F12) and run: game.settings.set("ddb-importer", "update-check", false);

Angel B Rosas

Hey bro I don't know if its just me but I can't open the importer at all like I tried and it won't let me open the core setup or the mucher I already tried reinstalling it over and over.

MrPrimate
>>64655982

Hey! Sometimes the importer can be a bit wonky if it's got some bad settings in during one of the bug upgrades, but don't worry, you can reset them using the following: Open the browser console (F12) and run: game.settings.set("ddb-importer", "cobalt-cookie-local", false); game.settings.set("ddb-importer", "cobalt-cookie", ""); game.settings.set("ddb-importer", "campaign-id", ""); This should then allow you to open the core settings and re-enter your key etc.

Jimmy Yip

Having an issue linking my patreon account to the module. It asks me to allow or deny DBB importer to view public profile and email address but when I click accept it just shows a white page with the word error in the upper left corner.

MrPrimate
>>64876337

Hi Jimmy - I'm not at a computer right now, but at the start of the month Patreon can sometimes have problems as it processes payments. If you use a key linked in one of the above posts then the importer should work for you and I'll try to get to the bottom of the problem later today

CriticaLink

My key is working for Munching most content but it doesn't seem to be able to munch the new content from Ravenloft. As it's not importing any of the creatures from there.

CriticaLink
>>65732984

I was a bit taken aback but looking through it more it's also omitting other monsters like Mind Flayers from the Muncher. Not sure what I could be doing wrong seeing as the Cobalt and Patron Key are up to date.

MrPrimate
>>65732984

Hi - are you using a filter on the "Source filters" button - this is easy to be caught out by. Are you able to find the monsters you want to search for on the DDB Encounter Builder section of the app - this will ensure you have access to them. If you can get on discord it's a bit easier to chat their -screen shots etc and Patreons notifications can be a bit lacking. Thanks

Andrew Wilson

Hi MrPrimate. Love the importer! I'm struggling to import monsters at the moment at Coffee tier. I've tried adjusting the source filters, and munching spells first, made sure I copied over the monthly key, but I always seem to import 0 monsters. Anything you'd recommend trying?

MrPrimate
>>66187804

Hi Andrew - first step would be to clear the filters to make sure that nothing is selected, make sure the latest module version is installed. If that doesn't work, pop along to the discord - I'm on vacation this week and have limited internet, but someone should be able to help you out.

Andrew Wilson
>>66187804

Thanks for the reply. I found the problem, I hadn't updated the DND5e System. All sorted now!

James Mickelson

This tool is a lifesaver! Thank you so much for sharing this with the world!

Tib

How does monster importing work? I had assumed it would be a button in the title bar of an actor window in FoundryVTT, but there's nothing. I'm on FoundryVTT 0.8.9, successfully (I assume, the detection process with Patreon didn't complain) got the key and saved settings. then reloaded the whole page (but didn't restart the foundry app itself).

MrPrimate
>>69867398

If you go to the compendium tab -> DDB Muncher and import from their - a quick video: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/808408768437288970/896760727317127238/how_to_monster_munch.mp4

Benjamin Cushing

How long does the monster import take? Should I assume there's an issue if it exceeds an hour? Thanks!

MrPrimate
>>69914183

If nothing has happened yes! You should be getting information as each monster is imported

MrPrimate
>>69914183

Best troubleshooting is to pop open the browser console (F12) and see if there are any error messages and hope over to our discord to help troubleshoot

Seibss

How do i import homebrew monsters? I already checked 'Include Homebrew?' and 'Homebrew monsters only?' but it just won't import anything. Thanks!

MrPrimate
>>70295345

It will only import monsters in your homebrew collection, so make sure you have added them on DDB

Seibss

Do they need to be public? Because i got them in my collection.

MrPrimate
>>70297034

No, private is fine - if you open up the browser console (F12) do you get any errors when importing homebrew only? (If you are able may be quicker to hop onto discord to post screen shots etc)

Seibss

No errors... I'll be on discord in a sec ^^ thx

Attempting to update an imported D&D Beyond character for the first time after updating my key and I get a "TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of undefined." Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Jeffrey R

Make sure your DND beyond updater is up-to-date - this should be fixed now

Nathan Gandy

Just a quick question: I have the coffee tier, and it imports most, but it does not bring in the feats, class/monster features, etc. Is that part of the beta section of the undying tier? Or am I missing something. Thanks!

Feats and races are available on the "Experimental" tab at coffee tier. Classes and class features are "undying" and there are still a few class features missing. I don't bring in monster features as although they follow similar syntax, almost all of them are different/ customised per monster

If you can try the latest version of the importer, and if that doesn't work, hop along to the discord and we'll try to get it sorted out

I understand the reason for limiting the keys to activating at the end of the following month, but if you could possibly make an exception (for everyone) right now that would be kind of a big deal. Since WotC is doing an update that is massively altering the content, we need to get it before D&D Beyond changes everything (including changing spellcasting monsters into a format I can't even use for my games). I'd be willing to prepay a couple months if I can get access to the ability to import my content immediately.

Hi Jason you should be able to import your content right now using the keys linked from the pinned post or by connecting to patreon from with the settings screen

Jason Criswell

Thanks; yeah I got it to work. I just didn't understand what the post meant and was in panic mode after realizing I needed to get my content from D&D Beyond before it was gone forever.

I followed the different advice for this but it just keeps telling me its checking my DDB details and it will take a few seconds

Can you try https://github.com/MrPrimate/ddb-importer/blob/main/FAQ.md#my-core-settings-screen-wont-open

Travis Shorter

I'm having problems importing stuff. It can't open a "certain" spell compendium when I try and update one of my characters sheets. I get "Error parsing character: Error: unable to open the compendium *********.spells"

Raf Roaf-Esparza

I don't know what happened but I am no longer able to open DDB Muncher in foundry VTT.

Do you get any error messages, and try: https://github.com/MrPrimate/ddb-importer/blob/main/FAQ.md#my-core-settings-screen-wont-open

Lukas Prism

Sorry if this has been asked before – monster descriptions are only coming through to the Biography if it has the header 'Description' on the DDB website. Is there a way to get all the descriptions munched in? Most of them seem to be missing from the actors in my compendium.

MrPrimate
>>82985716

Alas, no, you can find out more here https://github.com/MrPrimate/ddb-importer/blob/main/FAQ.md#why-do-not-all-monsters-have-descriptions

Lukas Prism
>>82985716

Ah makes sense. Thanks for the reply. Hopefully they fix that at some stage! At least there is a handy link to their site in the title bar :) Appreciate your legendary work

Michael Andai

2 weeks ago everything worked, now I can't import 2 out of 4 characters. I get "Error parsing character: TypeError: Cannot set properties undefined (setting"3") The other character gets the same but with a 6

Ian Arnold

I've been having a similar issue. Mine says "Error parsing Character: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'proficiency groups')"

Tim Rich

When I click copy from Clipboard on the Beyond the DataGrabber extension doesn't copy anything to the clipboard.

MrPrimate
>>87238895

Sometimes you need to refresh the DDB page before it will grab. If it's still not working you may need to manually select it

Gonk

How do I update characters? it says please import d&d beyond items into your compendium first. The thing is I have imported the compendiums tho

MrPrimate
>>87823568

Make sure that the Compendium set in the DDB Importer -> Compendiums setting is correct - sometimes it can become incorrect. Double check to make sure that compendium has some stuff in from DDB

Just started the install for Adventure Muncher and get this message: “ddb-adventure-muncher” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

When i installed the module, it doesn't show up in the 'manage modules' section of settings?

Hey Bill! Imagine the odds I'd be setting up an adventure about the same time as you! I probably would have hit the same hurdle. Thanks!

Happy to join. I just got Foundry to start dming on Startplaying, and you have saved me so much time with the importer! You are amazing my friend, and with the Adventure Muncher have cut my prep time way down on building my maps for foundry.

Ashton Rogers

Thank you for your hard work. Saved me a ton of time.

I really appreciate how great this module is. Keep up the great work!
