Grouped characters

NimrodYanai — Sat, 03 Jan 2026 15:56:40 +0000

I remember seeing a campaign where the DM managed to split the characters to more group types than PCs and NPCs.

Does anyone have a simple script to do that? My campaign is starting to have too many characters and I want to be able to group them together.

Edit: Nevermind. I just now saw there is a built-in custom way to do this.

So... I keep doing new dumb stuff

This isn't javascript at all, but I wasn't sure where else to put this... I sort of took off with an idea from the discord cause I was bored and started a python based project to export character data to store in a standardized format that could be used to either back up or import into external systems like a VTT.

This is still SUPER early days but since it now has a repo I thought I'd share in case anyone wants to take a look/help out with the collosal effort of the mappings. In principle the main logic is set though I have a few nagging concerns and I'm sure others will have ideas and suggestions since I'm not a py programmer in the slightest bit at all.

The git repo houses all the code to run, the structure of the associated mapping files and a link in the readme to the google sheet I am using to stub out the mapping files.

For nested accordions on OP, feel free to use these two gists.

I linked these in discord as well a few others but I realized soem folks only visit the forums.

Sortable tables script

jodie — Tue, 24 May 2022 20:32:42 +0000

(Yoinked from stack overflow mostly) - here's some stuff to make sortable tables:

In the template:

| *Name* | *Dangerousness* | *Description* |

| Biscuit | 7 | a person who resembles a biscuit |

| Ryder | 2 | a small child on a tiny quadbike |

In the CSS:

div.sortableTable tr:first-child td {

cursor: pointer;

}

In the javascript:

const getCellValue = (tr, idx) => tr.children[idx].innerText || tr.children[idx].textContent;

const comparer = (idx, asc) => (a, b) => ((v1, v2) =>

v1 !== '' && v2 !== '' && !isNaN(v1) && !isNaN(v2) ? v1 - v2 : v1.toString().localeCompare(v2)

)(getCellValue(asc ? a : b, idx), getCellValue(asc ? b : a, idx));

// do the work...

document.querySelectorAll('div.sortableTable tr:first-child td').forEach(th => th.addEventListener('click', (() => {

const table = th.closest('table');

Array.from(table.querySelectorAll('tr:nth-child(n+2)'))

.sort(comparer(Array.from(th.parentNode.children).indexOf(th), this.asc = !this.asc))

.forEach(tr => table.appendChild(tr) );

})));
