So I made a custom sheet. Now what?

I just finished work on a custom sheet for a BitD hack called Runners in the Shadows. It was a lot of work, so I thought it would help justify that time investment by sharing it. I also learned everything I know about making custom sheets through trial-and-error making this sheet, so I'm sure there are improvements that could be made. So how's that work?

If you want to share the sheet with other people, you have two choices: Add it to the roll20 repo, in which case it is accessible to everyone. This means you;ll have to learn how to use github, and also check if your sheet fits the requirements. Tell people you have a custim sheet and provide a link where they can download it. Anyone with a Pro subscription (and only those with a Pro subscription) can then load it. Assuming you want to add it to the repo: Is the sheet for a custom rules set, and are those rules pubklically available? These kinds of sheet are nearly always accepted. If its a sheet for an existing game, does a community sheet for that game already exist? Should your sheet replace the ecxisting sheet? This is iffier but still possible. The roll20 devs may have some questions first. Does your sheet use tables (the HTML element TABLE)? if so the sheet will always be rejected. You can find a guide to uploaidng to the repo oon the roll20 wiki (don't know the page) and also here: <a href="https://cybersphere.me/publishing-sheets-to-github/" rel="nofollow">https://cybersphere.me/publishing-sheets-to-github/</a> (It's possible that the process has changed so some steps might need to be tweaked, but thhis should get you started).

Thanks GiGs! Do you have to pay for GitHub? Yeah,&nbsp;I'd be happy to put it on the repo for as many people to use as possible. And yes, it's a publicly available hack of BitD available here&nbsp; <a href="https://markcleveland.itch.io/runners-in-the-shadows" rel="nofollow">https://markcleveland.itch.io/runners-in-the-shadows</a> &nbsp;, it does not have an existing sheet that I could find (though I did base mine on the existing BitD sheet), and does not contain tables.&nbsp;

Github is free. If its a hack of BitD (different rules), I don't see why there'd be a problem there. I'd include the link to the source in your submission, pointing out its a community sheet for that game. Many sheets are based on existing sheets - this is explicitly recommended. That is not a problem.

Alright, pull requested! Will I get some sort of confirmation if it's accepted?

I'd recommend periodically checking roll20's repo - there'll be comments in your pull request telling you whether its been rejected or accepted, and questions asked there if the devs have any.

^ Is this something I need to fix?

That's normal for a new sheet.&nbsp; You should be fine. +1

Great, that's what it looked like to me, but I didn't want to sit around twiddling my thumbs just in case!

So, pro user here... how do I get this sheet? Paige
