Level Up (A5E) A Database of Pregens for A5e?

Hi A5e friends! My Wednesday group is now deep into our first foray into A5e.

I know there's not a full-featured character builder out there, though I love the Google Sheet that @Anselm posted!

One thing I'd love to see is a database of printer-friendly pregenerated characters for all classes from, say, 1st to 5th level with all the martial powers and spell descriptions on the sheet. This would make it super-easy for new players to jump in or stand-by players to grab a sheet and run. A good set of pregens would be a great alternative to a full character builder in just sheer convenience. I know there are some pregens on the resources page but they're not exactly printer friendly and I know @PJ Coffey has some on DriveThru I plan to look up now.

If anyone else has suggestions on how we might put together such a resource, I'm all ears.

I was looking into ways to maybe create a character generator, played around with websim.ai a bit and while it can kinda give a few pages, it doesn't seem like it's stable enough to generate a fully working tool. Daniel's A5E Experimental Character Creator if anyone wants to take a look (it doesn't really work; everytime I would get one thing to work right, another thing would stop working, and I came to the conclusion I need to bone up on html/css/javascript and maybe use GPT 4o to make actual code page by page.)

You guys probably all already know about the basic character generator here at the A5E tools site: https://www.enworld.org/tools/a5e/index.php

I saw there haven't been news updates on the official A5E character creator for several months, but I assume (hope?) they're still working on it. If there's one thing that the WOTC folks didn't totally suck at, it was the D&D Beyond character generator. It's superb, and A5E needs something similar. Or maybe there's a way to homebrew a class on D&D Beyond that I'm not aware of, if so that could be another solution.

I hope to announce some very very big news very very soon. Just waiting on legal stuff. But I've been playing with something very, very cool recently.

I mean, they bought DDB for $160M. One hundred and sixty million dollars. Nobody in the industry has anything similar for a good reason--because nobody except Hasbro has $160M.

But we'll have something. It will not be $160M though. Or even $1M. Or even a tenth of that. Setting realistic expectations of indie game designers. :)
