This bug has been fixed in today's update.

In short: all proprietary content has been removed from the platform's databases, and we've included support for managing homebrew content that is stored in your browser.

The LFG was the first RPGist project, created with the goal of helping RPG players around the world to discover each other and get together to play RPGs. This happened at a time when there were no specific services available for this. We had to resort to forums and groups on social networks.

The project went through several iterations, multiple versions, and improvements, but it never took off. The community did not adopt it.

It's time to acknowledge the failure: I ...

TL; DR: We will no longer store proprietary content on our servers. User creations such as Characters and Spell Lists will be lost as soon as the update goes live. Users will be able to create and use homebrew content on the platform.

The RPGist D&D 5e Spellcaster Helper was born as a personal project shortly after the release of the fifth edition of Dungeons & Dragons with the goal of assisting RPGist...
