Draw Steel Data

Parsed variants of the Draw Steel rules and bestiary are distributed across several GitHub repos.

There is also an npm module for parsing and working with these models:

• Github - data-sdk-npm
• npmjs.com - steel-compendium-sdk

• New data repos

  ---

  Work in progress. These are the new, SCC-coded data repos. They are not yet production-ready -- the structure may change and they may contain errors.

  • data-rules -- Heroes book
  • data-bestiary -- Monsters book
  • data-unified -- everything, aggregated

  Each repo provides Markdown, Markdown for the Draw Steel Elements plugin, SCC-linked Markdown, JSON, and YAML variants under its en/ directory.

• Legacy data repos

  ---

  Deprecated. These older repos are still available, but are being replaced by the new repos to the left.
