D&D Spell Card Maker

A static, GitHub Pages-friendly web app that turns a D&D Beyond character-service JSON response into printable spell cards.

Features

• Load a D&D Beyond character-service URL when the browser permits cross-origin access.
• Paste or drag/drop the character JSON as a CORS-safe fallback.
• Extracts spell definitions from the character JSON rather than maintaining a separate spell database.
• Shows spell level, school, casting time, range, duration, components, concentration, ritual status, description, and higher-level text when available.
• Search and filter by spell level.
• Select individual cards or all visible cards.
• Print selected cards as a 3-column tabletop card sheet using the browser's Print / Save as PDF function.
• No server, database, login, or API key required.

GitHub Pages deployment

1. Create a new GitHub repository.
2. Upload index.html, styles.css, and app.js to the repository root.
3. In GitHub, open Settings → Pages.
4. Under Build and deployment, choose Deploy from a branch.
5. Select your main branch and / (root).
6. Save. GitHub will provide the Pages URL.

D&D Beyond URL / CORS note

The character-service endpoint used by D&D Beyond is not a documented public API. The app therefore does not depend on an authenticated or officially supported API.

A browser may refuse a direct fetch because of CORS headers. If that happens, use the JSON fallback:

• Open the character-service URL in a browser.
• Save the response as a .json file, or copy the response.
• Drop the file onto the app or paste the JSON into the manual input.

The app processes the JSON entirely in the browser.

Important content/licensing note

The app does not bundle a copy of the D&D spell compendium. It uses spell information present in the character data supplied by the user. This keeps the static site simple and avoids redistributing a separate database of copyrighted spell text.
