pySpellbook

A PDF spellbook creation utility in python

What is it?

Do you play a spellcaster in a d20 like game? Chances are, that you do not know all your spells and effects by heart. This software lets you browse, filter and organize your spells and choose a selection of spells to generate a pdf version of the spellbook for printing and looking awesome at the table.

How to install?

Windows

Download the current release from [Releases] (https://github.com/christofsteel/pySpellbook/releases)

Mac OSX

Download the current release from [Releases] (https://github.com/christofsteel/pySpellbook/releases)

Linux (Ubuntu/Debian)

See https://launchpad.net/~christofsteel/+archive/ubuntu/pyspellbook for instructions on how to add the PPA to your system. Debian users can pick any release, they contain the same files anyway.

Linux (Archlinux)

You can install pyspellbook from the [AUR] (http://aur.archlinux.org)

Linux (Other)

If you are on linux and have python 3 and pip installed, then install it via

pip install pySpellbook

this will fetch all python dependencies and install the binary pySpellbook.

Prince

pySpellbook uses Prince to render the pdf output. Unfortunately Prince is not open source software, but free for personal use.

The first run wizard should install Prince on your system, but you can decide to install it manually from http://www.princexml.com.

If you do not want to use Prince, you can use an internal renderer or print the intermediate html with your favourite browser (Firefox recommended), but those have serious drawbacks in terms of support for printed media css.

How to add spells?

Either by [hand] (https://github.com/christofsteel/pySpellbook/wiki/generateDatasets), or import a dataset through the wizard or download it here:
