Simple Macros for Forbidden Lands (with Character Sheet)

1657070110

Edited 1657070356
I wrote these two simple macros to enable me to have quick reminders on PC information. They work with the Forbidden Lands Character Sheet that is here on Roll20. I decided to share them for anyone who would find them useful. If this is not something that is supposed to happen here I will happily delete the post, I have had nothing to do with the creation of the (excellent) character sheet. I was inspired to have a go at macros after looking at what other have done.  The first one is a quick reminder of the description of each character. This works for a party of 4, delete or add as needed. You will need to replace NAME1, NAME2 etc with the names of the PCs in your game. Remember to keep the }} at the end though. I find this macro useful in social encounter situations sometimes. I usually make this visible to everyone, since the PCs can see what each other looks like. /w gm   &{template:forbiddenlands} {{name=Looks}} {{shield1-name= ---------------------------------- NAME1  the @{NAME1|kin} @{NAME1|profession}   ---------------------------------- @{NAME1|face} @{NAME1|body} @{NAME1|clothing} ---------------------------------- NAME2  the @{NAME2|kin} @{NAME2|profession}   ---------------------------------- @{NAME2|face} @{NAME2|body} @{NAME2|clothing} ---------------------------------- NAME3  the @{NAME3|kin} @{NAME3|profession}   ---------------------------------- @{NAME3|face} @{NAME3|body} @{NAME3|clothing} ---------------------------------- NAME4  the @{NAME4|kin} @{NAME4|profession}   ---------------------------------- @{NAME4|face} @{NAME4|body} @{NAME4|clothing} }} The second one is also a reminder of the pride and dark secret for each PC (it also references their kin and profession). As before, this works for a party of 4, delete or add as needed. You will need to replace NAME1, NAME2 etc with the names of the PCs in your game. Remember to keep the }} at the end though. I find this macro useful sometimes during a game to give the PCs useful opportunities for role-playing. I usually make this one visible only to myself, not all players want to openly share pride and dark secret.  /w gm   &{template:forbiddenlands} {{name=Pride and Dark}} {{shield1-name= ---------------------------------- NAME1 the @{NAME1|kin} @{NAME1|profession}   ---------------------------------- @{NAME1|pride}   But @{NAME1|dark_secret}   ---------------------------------- NAME2 the @{NAME2|kin} @{NAME2|profession}   ---------------------------------- @{NAME2|pride}   But @{NAME2 |dark_secret}   ---------------------------------- NAME3 the @{NAME3|kin} @{NAME3|profession}   ---------------------------------- @{NAME3|pride}   But @{NAME3|dark_secret}   ---------------------------------- NAME4 the @{NAME4|kin} @{NAME4 |profession}   ---------------------------------- @{NAME4|pride}   But @{NAME4|dark_secret} }} If it works it will look similar to this: Cheers Munkey

Very cool. I like how you separated each character.  Thanks for sharing Munkey!  Cheers
Thanks Vince, are you the author of the sheet? Do you know if there is a place on here or otherwise where other Forbidden Lands Macros can be found? They're very handy!

I am the author(with advice/help from others as well).&nbsp; You're the first to post. ;-)&nbsp; There may have been some examples in the original sheet thread...&nbsp; I'll see if I can track that down. edit/update: Old FBL beta thread: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/7282548/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/7282548/</a> Might be something in there. Goodluck
