Yeah, I wish we had variable length inputs too. Maybe someday! One of the only old system-specific sheets I still use is 13th Age, and it has the bespoken "Add new feat/ability/power" buttons for its lists. XD I'd advocate for custom sheets to have the same too, but I imagine it'll be a bit of a pain to code.

PS: want a dummy player for your test game? :P I love being a test subject.

I haven't decided whether to adopt GP as my hosting site yet. I wanted to make sure it had all the features I needed to run a successful game before making the call. But if I do, I already have six players waiting in the wings to help me test the Session functionality. I just need to be sure I can reproduce their character sheets using the Custom Sheet functionality.

I think if I can get this variable-length list functionality working, then it shouldn't be a problem. In fact, some of the more clever features provided here could improve the character sheet function in the game. Although I think the lack of a Character Journal might prove awkward.

My players used to make a lot of use of their journals for recording clues and names of important NPCs they had met, and many of them have personal objectives that rely on completing Character Journal entries. But if the worst comes to the worst, I might be able to deal with it as an external function.

In games I've been in, a number had a separate forum thread specifically for player-made notes - you can do something similar! Admittedly I rarely see it used, but it's the thought that counts. Some people also add a notes section on their character sheet, which is probably closer to a journal.

You could consider making each player a private (or public) forum thread inside your game. They can journal there to their heart's content with the added bonus of having the forum search feature.
[ +- ] Forum search
If you make just 1 thread it can be a collaborative journal, possibly with personal entries.

They'd be able to format things how they want and copy/paste screenshots if needed.

On top of that, you (as the GM) would be able to tell when someone makes a new journal entry in case that's interesting to you.

Personally I try to stay away from putting all my info (that's not stat related) in a character sheet. It makes the sheet feel very chaotic to me after a while.

The Character Sheets on Tavern Keeper were divided into four Tabs.

1. Biography: Which included Background, Appearance and Personality.
2. Stats: Which was where you recorded you characters profile, Skills, Trappings and inventory
3. Journal: Where the player could create Journal Entries to record various pieces of information such as Objective, Clues, NPCs etc.
4. Notes: A page for recording notes divided into Player Notes and GM Notes. The GM Notes being private and not visible to the player.

Each Journal Entry had a heading and a body of free text. Some player used these to create Milo Diagrams for their investigations or research.

I'm sure there is way of replicating this functionality somehow on GP, it's just a case of deciding on the best solution.

I don't think one can create 'Tabs' in a Custom Character Sheet, but perhaps something like an Abilities Tag, which naturally provides headings for each Journal Entry, might work.

Correct, no tabs in a GP character sheet, but plenty of different ways to organize and separate the content with headers, ability tags, horizontal lines, spoiler tags, tables, columns, etc.
