Open Development: inspired character sheets

Creating a new character is one of my favourite parts of playing D&D. It's a fresh start, an opportunity to try something new, a time of limitless possibilities.

Except my actual character sheet always looks the same.

Why doesn't my elven sorcerer feel different to my halfling barbarian? Why do spell slots take up so much space when my warlock will never learn that many spells? Sure, I could design a custom sheet for each character, but who has the time (or talent) for that?

Introducing - inspiredcharactersheets.com. A relatively simple character sheet builder that;

  • Helps players create custom character sheets from a set of common components and designs
  • Auto-saves character info entered into the sheet so you can use it at the table
  • Prefer the tangible feel of paper and pencil? Print your sheet straight from the browser

Or at least - that's the plan. I have most of the core sheet functionality operational and will be working on the designable components next.

Follow along as I finish building the application and build an active user-base.
