Pathfinder 1E Searchable/filterable Pathfinder NPC database

[Morrus]

I put this together last night as an experiment.

You can search and filter 2,500 open gamnig content Pathfinder NPCs and unique critters from various official sourcebooks and adventures.

Very nice! thanks!

And now there's one for magic items, too!

Sorting

Hey Morrus, these are pretty cool! And also extremely fast, which is nice.

I have two observations:

1) The NPC database does not include subtype. Maybe not a big deal, but I started searching for that and didn't get what I expected.

2) The price sorting for magic items is treating the prices as text rather than numbers, so you might see items of prices [11,000], [110,000], [12,000], for example.

I can definitely see myself using these to prepare for running a game. Nice work!

Wow. Pretty nifty. Lots of work on your part.

Do I find it useful? Highly.
Some of the sorting isn't working. Like with the Magic Items, I set up a search/sort for Magic Armor Price (Low to High) and it just came up alphabetical. Granted, you probably haven't coded/formatted it all in yet.
And that said, I like. Are you considering this for Subscribers only or as a tool for all users?
Thanks for sharing these, btw.

I'm not using the default background and for me the screen is coming up black with black text so it's near impossible to read.

I guess I should elaborate. The results screen is coming up black on black. Not the initial screen.

Are there too many / too few NPC's to present in tables instead of by query? With 2500 entries (hopefully growing!) that ought to fit well enough into a number of descriptive buckets.

Thx!

It is definitely something I would use if it were there. Question becomes how much does it cost. If it is a reasonable amount then I would contribute. I take it that it is a subscription you will be paying and not a one off fee, so for me it would be natural to put my subscription fee up.

I've already used this. Thanks!

Both are fixed - I think!

That should be fixed too now.
