[QUOTE="Karui_Kage, post: 6072578, member: 53610"] Hi Enworld! As some of you know, I run a website called [B]The Archives of Nethys[/B], [URL="http://www.archivesofnethys.com"]www.archivesofnethys.com[/URL]. Similar to other fan SRDs, I wanted to focus specifically on making an easy to navigate website with Paizo-only content. I also wanted to efficiently cover what was allowed or not in the Pathfinder Society. Originally, this site was coded in HTML, and while I was fairly good at keeping things up to date, it lacked a number of things. It was not always easy to find things as the site grew, it lacked a Bestiary, and any of the RPG books. At the time I justified them as being on the main PRD, but always wanted them accessible on my own site. So, I decided to revise. I spent a year or so off and on working on the code, completely redesigning the page using C#, ASP.NET, and SQL. I come here today to announce that, well, I'm not done, but it's extremely close. Here is a laundry list of new improvements: [LIST] [*]In addition to the [B]Adventure Path[/B], [B]Campaign Setting[/B], [B]Module[/B], and [B]Player Companion[/B] lines, I've now included the [B]RPG [/B]line on the site. [*]Every book in all five lines is now present except for: Half of Ultimate Equipment, GameMastery Guide, NPC Codex, and Bestiary 2-3. These books are being worked through at a much quicker rate, thanks in large part to a new tool I wrote that quickly allows me to convert an item within a PDF and store it in my database. [*]I added very comprehensive [B]Class [/B]and [B]Race [/B]areas. Looking into a [B]Class[/B] now allows easy access to all Archetypes and other mechanics for that class, such as Rage Powers, Schools, Bloodlines, etc. [B]Races [/B]include full details on the race along with favored class options, subtypes, and more. [*]A large [B]Deities[/B] section has also been added, to quickly find the deity that has all of your favorite domains. [*]A popular request, the [B]Sources [/B]section now quickly shows you exactly what I've added from every book, over 200 of them. [*][B]Custom Searching[/B] is available! While only in the Spells section for the moment ([URL="http://www.archivesofnethys.com/SpellsCustom.aspx"]Spells Custom Search[/URL]), this is a feature that will be added to every section of the site once I've finished adding in the remaining books. [*]A full [B]Bestiary[/B] has been added! The Monster Index has over 1,000 monsters in it at the moment, with only the second and third Bestiaries remaining. A massive NPC section is also on the horizon, where I will put everything I can grab from the NPC Codex and GameMastery Guide. [*]Once Ultimate Equipment is online, I plan on updating my popular [B]Random Item Generator[/B] as a web interface tool. This should help out all of you Kingmaker GMs. [*]Lastly, as before, anything that is legal for use in the Pathfinder Society has been tagged for quick reference. [/LIST] There is a lot more than I've covered on my site, and I'd love for more people to go check it out! Please let me know here (or email me at [EMAIL="asknethys@karuikage.net"]asknethys@karuikage.net[/EMAIL]) if you have any suggestions, criticism, or other feedback. Thanks, and enjoy! [/QUOTE]
