Has anyone created a character sheet for Roll20?
Has anyone created a character sheet for Roll20? My players are spoiled and now of course I want to play a game that doesn’t have one and the first question is, “Is there a Roll20 character sheet?”
I know very little about websites or html.
Alex Hakobian?
+1 for that image. I've used it myself to great success a time or two in the past.
ReplyDeleteBut no, not yet. I've done some very preliminary Looking Into It since I fully intend to create a character sheet for Broadsword, and discovered that beyond knowing how to create macros to fill in the sheet's rolling functions, one must also be able to craft it using HTML and/or CSS. Neither of which I know beyond what their acronyms mean.
Once I've dug my claws deeper into the flesh of that beast to know what I need to make it happen, I was going to enlist the help of someone who does know that stuff to help me out with the actual coding bits.
for what game Casey G.?
ReplyDeleteI will add, however, that it's relatively easy to create a placeholder character sheet using only the blank sheet template and the bio text box. It won't look very pretty but it'll get the job done.
ReplyDeletePerdition, Jarrett Crader.
ReplyDeletehrm, I know that Adam Muszkiewicz is quite adept at Roll20. Also, you're nice for spoiling them.
ReplyDeleteII sent the player that asked a link to the FAQ on the Roll20 site and said, “Learn HTML and CSS and then do this.”
ReplyDeletedamn, now you're evil again!
ReplyDeleteAs a true GM would.
ReplyDeleteI maintain (mind you somewhat absently) the WFRP 2e sheet.
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with Perdition so I have that working against me. However, Roll20 character sheets involve the following technologies (as you pointed out, you don't know)
html, the most trivial part, to build the "framing" of the character sheet.
git to manage source code contributions and updates
css to create sophisticated layouts
javascript to create sophisticated behaviors and die rolls
To use the character sheet as a GM in your game, one needs to get the character sheet contributed to the Community set first, otherwise I'm not even sure it's possible to select something. At subscription tiers one can create custom sheets without the community contribution.
Shit tier work around: Editable Google Doc characters sheets you can link to in the chat.
ReplyDeleteI'm a pro subscriber, which I think can make sheets. Even if I could learn enough to just rename some stuff on a different D&D version's sheet and change a few dice rolls it would be good enough.
ReplyDeleteWayne Snyder that part I already did!
ReplyDeleteCorrect, Pro accounts get access to all the cool toys, including creating custom sheets.
ReplyDeleteif you tell me what D&D edition it's closest to and how Perdition is different from said version of vanilla D&D I'll try to get you something that you could get uploaded. I checked out their html, css, and javascript and it's not out of my ken.

Thanks for the offer, but it's different enough that I don't think it would be a small project. I ended up making the Character Journal into a not pretty, but useful form with all the macros already built, so along with shared Google doc character sheets, we're covered well enough.
