Sheetmaker is a highly costumizable character sheet maker for table-top role-playing games. I created this app with 5e D&D in mind, but I designed the editor so that it can be used with any system just as easily. Essentially, you can make custom character sheets tailored to your exact needs. For example, if your group focuses on role-play much more than combat, then you can organize a sheet so that role-playing elements are at the top. Or, if you added your own combat system, you can add a detailed section all about it.
Sheetmaker allows you to create as many character sheets as you wish! (More accurately, as many as your browser will let you make.) They are viewed and created using The Editor
This is where the magic happens. There are two "modes": Play mode and Edit mode. Play mode is the default, and it has all the prettified sheet items. This is where you will spend most of your time after making a sheet. Edit mode allows you to add, edit, or delete items. Something to know about The Editor is that the sheet is divided into sections.
A sheet has three main sections...
- Top Information Section: Where things like your character name, level, and race go.
- Stats Section: Where important numbers go, such as your character's strength or intelligence.
- Fields Section: Where everything else goes! This takes up the majority of the editor.
When making a new sheet, you can choose from a list of preset, partially-made sheets...
- Blank: Completely bare canvas, ready for anything you can make! This is the sheet you start with.
- Basic 5e D&D: Features a filled out Top Information section and Stats section.
- Full 5e D&D: Has all starting fields necessary for basic character creation.
Version 0.1.1:
This is the first public release! 🍾
The features are pretty bare-bones for now, but don't worry! There are more on the way. Currently, there is...
- The Editor (described above).
- Self-formatting, both desktop and mobile friendly.
- Creating new sheets and deleting sheets.
- Saving sheets to your browser's local storage.
- Making and restoring backups of sheets.
Right now, it works, but it is missing some quality-of-life features. Thankfully, I plan to develop these in the near future.
Here is a list of features I hope to implement:
- Ability to move sheet items
- Ability to delete specific sheet elements, instead of just the last one
- Sharing sheets between friends through the editor
- Mobile-friendly system of making/restoring backups
- Better auto-formatting (specifically, a system that fills in empty space if there is any)
- More item elements (taking suggestions!)
- More sheet presets (also taking suggestions!)
- General UI Improvements as needed
This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.
