[DFA] Modified sheet question

Hi all, I have a question about etiquette and github. First of all, full disclosure, I know absolutely zero about GitHub aside from browsing files. I've been messing around with the Dresden Files Accelerated sheet and I've made some changes to the functionality that I think players might like, but I don't know if the changes are significant enough that I should submit them to the author or set it up as my own thing. If I do set it up as my own thing, I want to make it clear that I absolutely did not do this from scratch and I just built on someone else's hard work. Here are the changes: -Added roll template -Eliminated "Scale" column -Added "Actions" column with selectable actions that work with the dice rollers -All approaches can be customized (for custom approaches for mooks and the like) -Removed fate point calculations (I just track this with tokens so I didn't need it) -Refresh moved to top and is now just an input field Any insight on how to proceed would be helpful. Thanks!

Roll20 wont usually accept a second sheet for the same game system anymore, so if you want to make changes, and make them available for everyone, you have to submit them to the existing sheet. The roll20 license for submissions explicitly states that submitters have no rights over the content submitted, and anyone can make changes to any sheet (though roll20 has editorial oversight and will block harmful changes). They dont use those words, but that's what the terms mean in practical terms. So you have two practical options: Submit your changes to existing sheet, with consideration for the fact that people are using it so you should make their experience better not worse Use the sheet for your own use (keep it as a custom sheet) and don't submit it to github. IMO Since your changes remove some sheet functionality, it's not a good idea to submit this to github.
Fair enough. Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it!
