Tutorial for creating your own set of rules (Nameless Land)

Edited 1676220778
Hello everyone, Can anyone tell me if there's a tutorial or guide on how to create your own rules system, complete with a character sheet. I want to start playing Nameless Land with my group. a RPG created in Italy, set in the post-apocalypse (no jokes about stereotypes please :P the setting is really cool and it's set in our dystopian post-apocalyptic world). unfortunately this setting does not exist on this platform but I know that there is the possibility to create your own rule setting, and even if it costs some time I would like to give it a try. it relies on a d100 system, for most combat mechanics and skill use. the basic setting does not use maps and tokens, but I would still like to insert them.
There are pretty good tutorials on how to create custom character sheets using the sheet sandbox on the wiki, it does require some degree of web development understanding (html, css, and javascript for sheetworkers). You can't make a compendium though (it's a long, long running issue). So you can probably get close , but the experience will be fundamentally different if you are coming from say 5e D&D with a compendium, charactermancer, etc.

As mentioned above, the wiki has a lot of info.&nbsp; The starting page for all that can be found here: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Building_Character_Sheets" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Building_Character_Sheets</a> There is also a blog with a fair bit of info that is being put together by GiGs (a user and sheet author here): <a href="https://cybersphere.me/" rel="nofollow">https://cybersphere.me/</a>

thanks for the replies Matt Beck said: So you can probably get close , but the experience will be fundamentally different if you are coming from say 5e D&amp;D with a compendium, charactermancer, etc. we are not interested on adding compendiums, but in obtaining a working character sheet. which does an auto-calculation of scores for combat mechanics and abilities, and allows you to roll the dice directly from the sheet&nbsp; (similar to 5E or Pathfinder).

an update for those interested, the creation begins to proceed, for now I've managed to correctly create the various fields that make up the character sheet. they don't communicate with each other and they don't save the information that is written inside, but it's a start!!
