Submitting a new sheet forked from an existing sheet. (WFRP1e Sheet from WFRP4e Sheet)

Hi all, I fully agree with anyone's right to call me lazy here, but still, hear me out. Me and my friends play a game of Warhammer Fantasy RPG 1st edition. As far as we're aware, there exists no 1st edition character sheet available in the library, so we were using one for the 4th edition. It did the job for the most part, but some things were lacking. Also, after playing for some time, I identified a few irritants or inefficiencies in our games and so what I did is I got our sheet's code from the github and modified it to match our needs. I removed some bits we didn't need or that were irrelevant to the 1st edition and added the missing stats, etc. It's not perfect. There are still elements in there that aren't relevant to the 1st edition. But it's already significantly more convenient than it used to be. Also I have a friend who's a bit more involved with this stuff, he DMs and also plays with many different groups and has delved a bit more in different WFRP communities. From what he tells me, his search for any 1st edition sheet has only resulted in him finding other sad and desperate players who were on the same fool's errand. So he told me there probably would be at least a few people who would be quite happy to use that one. So here's the thing (at last). I would certainly be happy to make what I came up with available to other WFRP1e players. But I'm not an half-decent web developer. HTML and javascript are not things I'd ever touched before I did this. The sheet seems to work fine, but I'm quite certain that the original sheet I started from used outdated (no longer accepted) formatting structures, and I certainly replicated that. I.e., the sheet will never pass the review and be accepted as it stands. There's also the issue of the authorship. The graphics inside the sheet were not created by me. I suppose they were created by the original author. I have no intention of digging into the rules for submitting new sheets, and I also don't feel like digging into the proper way of implementing it. But I'm glad to share it if someone wants to take it to the finish line. OR if someone wants it for their own game. P.S. The original author is this guy:&nbsp;<a href="https://app.roll20.net/users/977838/arioch1973" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/users/977838/arioch1973</a>

I If the sheet works, and isn't using html tables for layout, it should be accepted. The Roll20 devs are very permissive about what they'll accept (basically no TABLE elements, and if your sheet has a Gender attribute, it must not be a select - players should be able to enter whatever gender they want). Sheet authorship is not an issue - at least if the sheet you were using was originally on the roll20 githib. The license everyone accepts there expressly allows other people to use the sheet. Graphic elements might be an issue, but roll20 doesnt usually police that kind of thing.
I know there are a few tables but they are legitimate tables. As far as I know there isn't any &lt;table&gt; used to structure the sheet itself. As for gender from what I see there is no dedicated field for that. I suppose it should be written in the textbox dedicated to the character's general description. I guess it might possibly be eligible then.

It sounds like it would be eligible. If it is clearly for a different version of WFRP that doesnt already have a sheet, and it works, I would guess it'll almost certainly be accepted.
