Well, I've done some of what you asked. You can now hide certain characters from public viewing by clicking the "Make Private" link from your user page. This means that only you can view them, so you'll have to make them public again before you can share them.

The character links are currently sorted by activity. So your most recently updated character will appear first in the list.

I'll probably work on the printer-friendly version next. That's definitely a useful feature.

Ah, thanks Cadd. Yeah, if you really need to create a creature with over 8 stress boxes, just create another track. Maybe dedicate the track just to toughness or something.

Whatever works for you. I didn't think it was legally possible to have more than 8 boxes, though I could have miscounted. Glad my warden doesn't have to fight that :)

Our campaign happened in Orlando, so naturally we had the Lich Walt Disney, Freeholding Lord, and all his retainers. There was a bit of intrigue going on, and sides got mixed, so we ended up getting our asses handed to us by creatures roughly Mickey-, Donald-, and Goofy-shaped. Disney was a serious regional powerhouse with lots of influence with the Fey and the Council.

As a result, I think my favorite factions are contextual. Dig into the lore of the predominant ethnicity in your city, and see where the cards fall.

Fixed. Thanks for helping me get these kinks out, you're my first non-latin1 user.

Alright Jabberwocky, I've added support for most of the special characters, excluding some of the more exotic unicode codepoints that my font doesn't support anyway, like the infamous Pile of Poo. (I wish was making this up.) All your Czech characters should work now though. Any other trouble, let me know.

It would appear you are right, jabberwocky. Some Unicode characters work but not others. There's no reason it shouldn't work, I'll look into it.

Haru, I can respect that. More tech isn't always better at the table.

Hmm, interesting. I like the idea, but I don't think minor talents have the umph to make magical artifacts. Maybe some sort of bodhisattva?

idk Haru, imo if you're gonna use Obsidian Portal for a FATE character, you may as well put it in a google doc. It's just text fields, and too clumsy for at the table. I made my site resemble the official character sheet so people besides yourself can read it. Though your mileage may vary, or I could just be using OP wrong.

What's the deal breaker for you? Anything I can add to make mine better?

Ironically, no. The page apparently does not translate well to a printer, though I hadn't ever tried it until you asked lol. I'll certainly add it to the to-do list: a printer-friendly character sheet.

EDIT: Also, I'd be careful using this for NPCs. I built the site for easy sharing, so there's no way to hide the characters from your players if they can guess your username.

DFRPG / Cloud-based character sheets

Hello all,

I'm new to this forum, but I've been playing the DFRPG for a while with my group. I got tired of people coming unprepared and forgetting their character sheets, so I made a little tool that I think many of you will benefit from.

I call it the Toonstore: http://toonstore.net. It's a cloud-based tool for creating/editing/sharing/managing your DFRPG character sheets. It also works on small screens (e.g. phones), so you'll never be caught without your sheet again. Best of all, the project is open-source, so if you have the know-how you could set up your own private toonstore for your group, or better still, add new features. I've put a fair bit of work into this, but it's not perfect. If you have an idea for a new feature, just get in touch with me and I'll do my best to get it implemented.

By way of demonstration, here's my current character: http://toonstore.net/Derogatory/lifeson/. With the exception of the avatar, I made it entirely on my phone at the table, so I'm quite happy with it.

Any thoughts?
