Title: Character sheet custom creation
Post by: SirParadox on September 05, 2021, 10:55:31 PM
Does anyone make an easy to customize app for creating character sheets for new systems? The best I found only works on windows, and is very limited on spacing from huge gaps to to tightly crowded, with no in-between options. I do not remember the name of that program at this time I can look in the morning and update then.

Google Sheets works well enough if you need to share online. Otherwise, I've had success using LibreOffice Impress to create fillable PDF sheets. Both are free.

I will have too look into how to create boxes for a character photo and such in Google docs. I really would love to learn how to make fillable forms that automatically adjust the different items based on the appropriate formulas so players can automatically adjust everything as they make improvements, new skills boosted attributes, etc... Thank you very much.

Google Sheets (spreadsheet app) might be the easiest Google tool in which to create fillable boxes. This is the one I've used for electronic character sheets used for an online game.

Google Drawing is the easiest with which to create variously shaped boxes, lines, etc. This is the one I've used for printable character sheets designed for use at the table.

Thank you I am looking at that now, trying to figure it out.
