Random thought. Roll20 character sheets would be a good stretch goal for RPG Kickstarters. Anyone done that yet?

ReplyDeleteMake sure you ask permission first, otherwise they won't like it.
ReplyDeletePhil Garrad I haven't used it, but why wouldn't they (Roll20?) like content being created for their system?
ReplyDeleteRoll20 is happy to accept character sheets made by community members, especially the publishers of a game.
ReplyDeleteSource: I work for Roll20.
When there are exciting things to announce about features that are especially useful for publishers, I post them publicly on my G+.
Also, if I were designing a game today that needed a character sheet, knowing what I know now, I would not make it a stretch goal, but part of the core of the game.
ReplyDeleteOr that. I just know most? creators like me would have to hire someone to make one.
ReplyDeleteVery true. It's not a simple process if you don't know CSS, HTML, and Javascript. I'm doing it right now for Threadbare and hopelessly confused.
ReplyDeleteBut I did manage to make one for Dramasystem (a much easier character sheet to create), so that's progress!

ReplyDeleteJacob Hurst, this is the response I got from a leading member of the roll20 team:
ReplyDeleteWe've been made aware that you are using the concept of a Roll20 character sheet to raise funds on Kickstarter. You have no permission to do so. Please promptly remove any references to our product.
This was in response to an update where I was talking about the possibility of adding a Roll20 pledge.
Oh, that's a good point; I my connected the fundraising aspect of it. Phil Garrad , how long ago was that?
ReplyDelete4 years ago.
ReplyDeleteAh, yeah. Guidelines evolve.
ReplyDeleteOK, now that it's not after hours, and I can ask people: Phil is right-- Roll20 doesn't want to be used for advertising in that way. The right way to go about it is to contact licensing first to talk about it and/or start building an official relationship.
ReplyDeleteI'm also right, however, in that you can make a sheet for your game and submit it and it'll be available in the sheets drop-down list.
And I'll still announce Cool Things for Publishers on my G+ as they come out.
