I have a custom game that I am trying to do with friends on here. The game has its own custom-made character sheet. I am pro, but I know nothing about html/css. I have the sheets typed up in excel, but I have no idea how I would go about converting them, so they would be working character sheets here on roll20... please someone help me Thanks... ^_^

Since it's a custom game, I recommend you look at installing the PowerCards API script and using that to automate your PC and NPC journals until you can get help building a character sheet. You'll get your game up & running much quicker and your macros will be much easier to read and more attractive in use.
I was looking into that, and I can see if that will work, this game has a lot to it, so the power cards may not work

Hi Jeffery, it might be worth posting the in  Character sheet forum to ask if anyone could help you out with a sheet. Additionally a link to your excel sheet and some info about the mechanics of your custom system would greatly help anyone willing to take your sheet on. If it is basic enough I may even take a bash at it for you ;)
I was in the same boat as you way back when. I'd suggest find an existing character sheet system that is actively being updated and then reverse-engineer it to be what you need rather than starting from scratch. You can see how the tables work in a sheet you like and then start duplicating it (while changing the values appropriately) until you get something you can use. CSS & HTML are pretty logical to work with. The best thing you can do is make a fresh campaign and experiment with the coding to figure out what does what. Once you see the patterns it gets super easy over time. In about an afternoon of poking about you can figure out most of what you need to know to make your own.
