Character Sheets Online

I play rpg (any kind you can imagine), as some people might know. One of the worst things that can happen to a RPG-player is to loose his character sheets. Even forgetting them at home and noticing just at the beginning of the game can be terrible. For a while I’ve been thinking about finding or coding a webapp, that allows me to store my characters online. Or at least a program for my PDA that allows me to carry them around. (Best thing would be online storage and syncing with the PDA of course.) This idea still lingers on my mind, but till then, I just found a nice little service, while getting some fresh sheets, at Ema’s Charsheets.

Go try the Character Manager and tell me what you think. (Since I won’t have the time and/or internet access during the weekend to check it out myself, I’m hoping for another guinea pig.)

Oh and for those, who don’t know Ema’s character sheets: Take a look, they’re great!

Update: I tryed the service myself, now. While the basic character sheets seem to work somewhat nice, it’s not really distinguishing classes. And spell lists can just be printed, but not modified online. So overall it’s just okay. It would be good enough to store some basic characters, but unfortunally I just discovered that it’s a payed service. To store characters for longer than 3 days, you have to pay. Taking all that into account, it’s not a good service for me. I’d rather code something myself. Still, a nice idea.

    Thanks. That one looks nice. Unfortunally it looks like they stopped developing it and didn’t implement a spell list. But aside that, quite nice.

    Took a look at your site as well. Those linked tables are great. I can sense a new project coming up ;) .
