D&D compendium and modules
The D&D compendium in Spanish and English, both editions, browsing by category or by book, correcting an entry for yourself and how modules are turned on at the table.
The compendium is the D&D reference book inside Roliando: spells, beasts, items, classes, subclasses, species, backgrounds, feats and rules, in Spanish and English, for the 2014 and 2024 editions. What it ships with is the free SRD content; the rest of a book's content arrives with a module. The sheet, the character builder and the table all read from this same compendium.
Where it is
At /dnd/compendio, and inside the sheet with Shift C, where each entry can be added to the character with one gesture. At the table, the GM's directory searches it for creatures. See Directory, compendium and backpack.
Requirements and permissions
Any account can read it. What you see depends on the edition and the campaign: whoever runs the game can leave books out of their table, and then they do not appear in that campaign's compendium or in character creation. See every book (not just this campaign's) shows it all.
Step by step
- Pick the edition at the top: D&D 2024, D&D 2014 or Both.
- Switch between By category and By book: by category you see Spells, Bestiary, Backgrounds, Options and the rest; by book, each book with its rules sections.
- Type in Search in Spanish or English; it finds the name in both languages.
- Open an entry to read it in the sheet's usual window, with its text and its data.
- If an entry has a mistake or you want other wording, Fix for me saves your version; View original goes back to the original and Remove fix deletes it.
Modules
A module is a content package for the compendium: imported official books, third-party material or your own. They are made in the Workshop (Modules, see Module builder), brought in from a file or from Homebrewery (see Importing books and homebrew: file, text and Homebrewery and File formats for importing) and whoever runs the game turns them on for their table in the campaign settings, under Supplements (each one says whether it is In the game or Off). Once active, their content appears in the compendium, in the character builder and in the sheet's lists, with the same engine as the built-in content: their spells roll, their items equip.
Examples
- You want a player to use a species from a book that is not the SRD: turn the book or module on under Supplements and it will appear in the origin step of Creating a D&D character.
- A spell in your module deals "2d6 fire" and asks for a Dexterity save: the table treats it like a built-in one. See Automated D&D: what the app rolls for you.
Known limits
- Only the SRD ships with the application; there is no text from complete books that are not free.
- A correction of yours is seen only by you; the GM's affects their table.
Frequent problems
"A spell or species does not show up." Check the edition chosen and whether the book is active in the campaign; try the English name in case the Spanish one differs.
"The search finds nothing." No results for that name. Clear the filters or switch to both editions.
