HTML character sheets
« on: April 03, 2013, 01:17:01 AM »

I don't know if this is of any interest to anyone, but I've done up an HTML file with the standard 8 character class sheets, using in-line SVG so they look somewhat similar to the official sheets.

I mainly did it so that I could edit them and fill in values and customise things for my group, like this.

It prints out nicely in Firefox, but doesn't seem to like Chrome much (and I have no idea how it looks in IE :). 

I've put the html on github, in case anyone wants to yoink it for their own use.

Enjoy!

I've dreamed of doing this, but my HTML design skills are weak. That's amazing!

Excuse my ignorance, but can these be filled in online? I'm currently running 2 Roll20 groups and would love a way to host their character sheets online and have them up-datable. :)

Currently, no, they can't be filled in online.  Sorry.

However, the urge is building in me to give them the whole javascript treatment, making them editable.  I did that for my D&D 4e html sheet back when I was enthused about 4e, and could potentially pillage some of the coding from that to make it work.  I'd certainly try to make it data-driven like my 4e sheet, where you can override or define your own classes, advanced moves, compendium classes etc.

(The 4e sheet was only shared with friends who were also playing 4e, and we all sort of moved on.  I haven't touched it in ages, so it may have broken with browser updates and/or in different browsers.)

But if I did start on that, I wouldn't expect anything usable for a while - that 4e sheet sucked many, many hours.  Obsession is a funny old thing...
