tweak/char_sheet_prompt

Prompt for allowed char sheet until one is added on New Game.

Weirdly, editing a game lets you save it without any allowed character sheets - but that's a whole other thing.

Is it not valid to have a game with no character sheets at all?
Why force it?

Dunno. But it does (on creation).

To make it clear to the user, so we don't end up with confusion later if it is accidentally left out, maybe add a "none" option so they can explicitly select it? Prompt them till they do, to avoid mistakes?

I've just added what was dead cheap to code ('cos it's this or nothing). @qralloq, @bowlofspinach or @windyridge are the people to ask.

Fair enough.

I will make a game that does not need character sheets and such and play with it and a few other new features.

Removing the sheet specification appears to allow any type of sheet to be added. So selecting one actually imposes limits rather than offering options. Not sure if that important, but I thought it interesting.

I feel like that would just delay the confusion. Rather than "Why can't I create this game", it would become "Why can't my palyers add character sheets to this game?"

I like the notification but it's basically the same as we have now. Maybe it would make more sense to have it read something like "Click the [+] to add the selected character sheet to the game" or something like it

Yes. It definitely needs clarification and that would help.

As it stands the notification only shows up after we press Create, having it there all along seems better.

I also had a issue where I set the number of players too high (100) and it did not tell me what the problem was, it just sat there.

Yes, definitely better like this!

Until selected then this:

I think that'll help the new game confusion.

Have you looked at this on staging? Public

No
Yes - I'm happy with it
Briefly - I'm happy with it

The dark red warning text is a little dark on the dark theme. Not unreadable, though.
