Physical Character Sheet Art into Custom Sheets

This is really cool, Chalry! :D

I did some messing around with your code and changed a bit of CSS to help your overflow problem. Try this change on the first few lines:

[f=display:block margin-left:50% transform:translateX(-50%) width:80vw]
[f=display:block position:relative padding-bottom:70.5% max-width:950px margin-left:auto margin-right:auto]
[f=position:absolute width:100% height:100% background-size:contain background-repeat:no-repeat 
background-image:url(https://i.imgur.com/SdcfBwk.jpg) max-width:950px]
[f=display:block line-height:100% font-nightshade bold color:red background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0) 
width:1vw height:1vw position:absolute left:12% top:min(9%,60px) font-size:min(2.5vw,200%)][_=Katla][/f]

You'd have to put in a min() for every text field though.

Awesome, that did the trick! I've updated the code in the OP to make this fix.

Thanks @TheGenerator!

Any way to add form-fillable fields for the 2nd weapon, armor slot, powers and equipment?

Nice! You can also use themes to add art to character sheets.

Whilst not as dramatic as your styling, here, the D&D scroll graphic is applied behind blocks on character sheets.

If you use certain styles a lot, then you can also use theme styling to create your own f attributes which can be used anywhere.

e.g. Dragonlance often uses Celtic knots in their artwork, so I wanted a common knotted parchment block.

e.g. Here I'm using my own fancy-knot and font-cyoa f attributes (cyoa for "choose your own adventure" because I can't remember how to spell "Benguiat").

These new attributes are defined by adding to my game's theme using a gpFormat- prefix. e.g.

The gargantuan drawback is that it only works for gamers who have theming installed.

That's so cool. Hopefully in GP v2 themes will be integrated and you can just choose or make your own and add them to a game like you do dice rules and character sheets.

Definitely, I don't have time tonight, but if you want to try yourself you just add another one of these:

[f=display:block line-height:100% font-nightshade bold color:red background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0) width:20vw height:1vw position:absolute left:72% top:14.25% font-size:min(2.5vw,200%)][_melee=Shortsword][/f]

Change "_melee" to "_ranged" or "_armor" and fiddle with the "left" and "top" percentages to move the text around until you get it in the right spot (left:0% top:0%, is the top left had corner of the background image).

Then you can update the Roll table with those var names instead of fillable text like I did with melee.

If I have time tomorrow, I might add an empty text field to each equipment slot too, so more can be added without having to edit the sheet.

That's very cool too! I keep forgetting to check out the tamper monkey stuff. I was quite busy when those tools dropped and forgot to check back. Thanks for the reminder.

Incidentally, does this mean you're planning a Dragonlance game? And if so, any chance you have a spot available? Dragonlance was my first foray into ttrpgs when I was young, so it would be very nostalgic to revisit Krynn. Having said that, I've only played D&D 5e once, LMoP, so I'm not very experienced if that matters. Anyways, keep me in mind if you're looking for players in the future.

OOC:

Dunno, mate. Sometimes I set up games, art, maps, first posts, etc. just to see if I like the feel of them. But I'll bear you in mind.

I can relate to that, I have no immediately plans to run or play Mork Borg 😆 Just poking around and then had this idea and thought it would be worth sharing.
