Personally I’m running Foundry and have been meaning to spin up Owlbear 1.0 now that it’s self hostable - but I feel like there’s more i could be doing. Is anyone aware of a self hostable character sheet/character builder? I suppose i could go next cloud for storing folders and files but I don’t think anyone would use it - what self hosted services are you using at your tables?

Foundry doesn’t have a great player character creation flow. There’s plutonium, which works, but if I have multiple games going on foundry (which I normally do, for my multiple tables) then I can only keep one running at a time, making players of the other games are out of luck or I need to constantly be taking down and spinning up the right game. Ideally they would be a dedicated web app just for character sheets and character building.

Yea I'd agree with that. My strategy has been to make folders for each campaign and use one world for multiple campaigns.

The 5E creation wizard module works pretty well but you still need to track changes with the book because it's not perfect. It does levels pretty good too.

Since I'm using docker, I am considering using a second instance for another license. That way I can have two worlds always up, and with NFS mounting I can share art assets between both of them.

That being said, if you find a character manager please reply to this post. I'm always interested in that stuff. But I don't have much hope since WotC is a bag of dicks (someday my campaign will go to pathfinder).
