Hello! I was wondering if there was any plans to support Arkham Horror RPG that just recently came out. I know the starter box came out months ago but the core rulebook just came out yesterday. Just wondering if anyone is working on a sheet for it. I checked the pinned sheet request post but it didn’t allow me to reply and request since the topic was closed since 2 months have passed. I’m checking out other mediums as well but since I use roll20 a lot I figured I would start here.

Hi Rage,  Most products on Roll20 are not converted by Roll20. I would start by contacting the publisher of the game.  As for the character sheet, I would also contact the publisher about that, although sometimes the community makes a sheet. Very few of the 1000+ sheets on Roll20 are created by Roll20.

I am also hoping this sheet gets made by someone. I would even contribute to paying someone to make it.

Does anyone have an image for what the Arkham Horror RPG character sheet looks like?  What requirements does it need for functionality? Any strange dice rolling systems?  Note: I am not a character sheet creator, just gathering information for any creator that may come along. They will ask these same questions.  Additionally, I may be able to advise you on how to set up your game in Roll20 without a character sheet. Roll20 didn't always use character sheets like they do now.

Xd6+Y? Just Xd6? Target number? special ranges? Etc.

The best options you'd have are to reach out to Edge studio and ask if they intend to hire a sheet author, as was already suggested, or create a post in this Character Sheet requests thread, which gets a bit more attention from prospective sheet authors. (I'm not sure which closed thread you're referring to, since the most recent reply in this one was six days ago. If you shoot me a link to the thread you were trying to use, I can try to figure things out for you!) I'd suggest to link back to this thread in your post so you can keep your info collected in one spot.

xd6 from what I see and there’s an advantage system as well. I found this video that breaks it down a little better. Successes are counted by rolling beneath your skill level so that could vary. There’s also a dice pool that refreshes between scenes. i apologize for the wait on the reply. Holidays kept me all over. <a href="https://youtu.be/zEWVKYHBQYk?si=Yzrz-c0UBRNOvLPh" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/zEWVKYHBQYk?si=Yzrz-c0UBRNOvLPh</a>

That way multiple people are not required to watch a 15 minute video. All the information is here.

xd6 advantage and disadvantage system on dice rolling but all it does is make you roll an extra die and take the better result or worst result respectfully. An insight dice pull that can be adjusted by xp spent. I guess something kinda like a resource tracker in the 5e would work for that maybe? Doesn’t seem like a super crunchy system. Skills start off at 6. You can lower them below that through spending xp. Target number is whatever your skill number is or greater. So if my agility is 4 I have to roll either 4,5,6 to succeed.

So this should be doable in a non-character sheet format.  In the Bio & Info tab a table can be laid out containing all the pertinent information that would be on this character sheet. This would be the "visual" version for people to look at.  Next, in the Attributes & Abilities tab all the attributes (stats) that would be on a sheet would be in Attribute form.  Finally, in the Attributes & Abilities tab Abilities (macros) would be constructed to allow folks to roll the dice they need to roll.  If you want help with mocking this all up I would be happy to help.
