I'm having a real problem trying to save the sheet in some fashion that's at least viewable to others. that and me not being impressed with roll20, I might have to sit this one out.


Though, as an alternative to roll20, why not use Maptools? it is much easier to use, and has all the functionality as roll20 and more IIRC(only difference being you have to download it to your comp)

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

I'm up for maptools if it's easier. I personally just don't want to do play by post very much because I'd rather have a set play time where a lot gets done than it being an ongoing thing.
Edit: It's a bit roundabout but I managed to save the sheet to a printer file, then open that file using mspaint and then I can insert text into it. I wish there was just a sheet tool online already.

Yeah, doing it as PBP would probably be better for timezone reasons alone. Personally, I'm already trying to juggle one IRC campaign with work schedule, so even Maptool would nix my chances of participating.

Also, since Mythweavers doesn't have a 5e template yet, the easiest way would probably be to agree upon a common-form sheet. I found one where a guy adapted the core sheet to a single page pdf, so you could at the very least just fill that and upload it as an image file.

That looks useful.
Also, it looks like saturdays is best for people, so new poll going up.

I know I'm a little late to the party, but I thought I might as well poke my head in and say hello.

I'd be up to play on Saturdays, but it all depends on the time. Sadly, my use of a computer that can handle maptools is rather limited to the evenings due to the summer heat.

I'm pretty tempted by a two-weapon-fighting/finesse stout halfling fighter, because two 1d6 attacks at +5 and +3 to damage at first level.

Saturdays doesn't help me at all since I'm either working or pulled into other things. I'll try however

Well, after dicking about with maptools for about two hours I have no idea how to get it to work.
None at all.

Yay. Which is great because maptools doesn't seem to want to work for me. I'm sure that the problem is easily fixed, but judging from the recent comments PbP is probably the best way to go with things. Especially since I'm not the greatest of DMs and Oh god the pressure.

Anyways, I'm going to wait to see some more character sheets from people before making a new thread in FG&RP for organization purposes. Sounds good?

Shure, I just wish I could find a sane char sheet, as the official D&D ones are bullshite and the ones I pointed out arent much better.

Don't worry, you've got time. Unless I'm mistaken, Rakonas is the only one who has submitted a character so far.

I made a sheet. I may switch my background to Solider, and still need to properly fluff.
