[RuneQuest:Roleplaying in Glorantha]: Feature Request

IDK who is working on the sheet anymore, but I was wondering if you could do two things for the sheet? Create a new tab on the character sheet called Magic and move all the magic related content from the main tab to that new tab; Cults, spells, magic and rune points, magic items, etc. Change the Spirit magic and Rune magic and the Sorcerous Rune/techniques/spell text boxes to lines like how Passions is set up; with a spot to add Magic point cost. Thank You!

If I remember correctly, the author of the sheet retired from working on it. I don't know if it was taken over by anyone else. What's the advantage of making the changes you suggest?

There was a recent up date to the sheet in the last few days. So its possible that someone is working on it. The advantage is that 1) everything will be in one place - better organized, and 2) I hate the text boxes and if someone wanted to add API scripts that link to spells (such as action buttons) while its a text boxes you can do this.

No offense, I rather not - though it would depend on the price. In general if someone was still making adjustments to the sheet then I was wondering if they could make these changes. Nothing more. 

skull d. said: No offense, I rather not - though it would depend on the price.  $120 depending on exact specification and not including any API work.

Ya, no thanks. Like I said - someone is already making changes then it would be great, but otherwise I'll just wait till Chaosium (if they ever do) puts out an official character sheet like they did with COC. The text boxes are only inconvenient.  Thanks for the offer though. Who knows maybe someone else will take you up on the offer.

Thanks for the offer though. Who knows maybe someone else will take you up on the offer. Same price as a 6 hour game session for a paid GM.

There was a new up date to the sheet over the most recent couple of days. So its conceivable that somebody is chipping away at it. <span data-sheets-value="{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;FaceTime&quot;}" data-sheets-userformat="{&quot;2&quot;:769,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;11&quot;:3,&quot;12&quot;:0}" data-sheets-note=" FaceTime " style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> FaceTime

The biggest problem with how Roll20 do the character sheets is that I can get access to lots of clever sheets if I take out a more expensive subscription.&nbsp; I don't want them all and I don't want to lose access when I decide to drop my subscription level. I would be happy to pay for access to a character sheet.&nbsp; More so if the money, or most of it went to the person who coded it. There is no incentive for me to pay for improvements to a sheet.&nbsp; There would be incentive for David to make his sheets better if he earned money when folk wanted to access it. Seems a no brainer addition to the economy.

Stephen M. said: The biggest problem with how Roll20 do the character sheets is that I can get access to lots of clever sheets if I take out a more expensive subscription. All character sheets in the drop down selection are available to anyone.&nbsp; They are not gated behind subscription level at all.

Stephen M. said: There is no incentive for me to pay for improvements to a sheet.&nbsp; There would be incentive for David to make his sheets better if he earned money when folk wanted to access it. Sheet authors do not own the sheets. When they added to the repository they are open for anyone to change them. When they are made available by Roll20 they are available to everyone regardless of subscription level.

Maybe I'm wrong but I am sure I tried to set up an FFG StarWars game but the sheet would not fully work because I did not have a pro account.

I was trying to be respectful but given my recent insight into daivd's motivation, I don't see any reason to do so any further. Just so we are all on the same page. David is saying "I" should pay for a requested change to the character sheet because he has a thing against paid Gming (which is something listed in my Bio). Something I was doing a while back because I like to play but can only justify playing rpgs more than once a week if I can offset the lost work time as a freelancer. If I was going to pay for changes, it would be a lot more than these two changes. I really appreciated that there was a free open source character sheet for Runequest sheet to use. Its better than having to use the basic Roll20 sheet for Runequest. That being said - there are a number of instances where I have over the last few months asked, "Why was this done this way".&nbsp; How Spells are handled was one of them. David left this as a text box but in other places he had setup separate fillable boxes - such as with Passions and Equipment. Its just kind of lazy to think that he would put the work in to design those section to operate in that manner but with spells not follow through with the same approach. This complete lack of consistency is why its a bit of a joke to asked to be paid for these changes. I respect the amount of work that goes into making one of these sheets, but if I'm paying someone to make a character sheet for Roll20 - I would hire someone else to make it.&nbsp;

On that particular sheet, you do need the API dice rolling script to handle FFG's dice pool/mechanic. ;-( &nbsp; That said, 99%(my guess...) of the publicly accessible sheet's on roll20(sheet template dropdown) DO NOT require the API to function.&nbsp; Requiring an API script for a public sheet is generally discouraged by sheet authors.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion.&nbsp; No worries.

Ah, only the second character sheet I tried. Seems daft to discourage the use of cool things when they could be monetised instead.&nbsp; I would have instantly paid £5 for access to the FFG sheet to run my game.&nbsp; There are however a lot of cool free sheets.&nbsp; That is indisputable and I give kudos to everyone that puts the time into making them. ∇ince said: Stephen M. said: Maybe I'm wrong but I am sure I tried to set up an FFG StarWars game but the sheet would not fully work because I did not have a pro account.

Further explanation for anyone following: David said: &nbsp; What is a joke is for someone who ask for payment of services scoffs at someone else asking for payment.&nbsp; No, the joke here is you. I posted like anyone else has in the past with a suggestion (as is encouraged by the roll20 forums) and your reaction my suggestion was too look at my Bio and decide to ask for payment because I have been paid in the past to run RPGs for people. And like I said before. If I was going to hire someone to make a sheet - it would be someone with a clear record of being able to make a really good character sheet and not one who made a slightly better than the basic roll20 sheet with a bunch of inconsistencies. But thank you for the suggestion. I have moved forward with hiring Someone to make a sheet. It was a really good idea.
