Online character sheets?
-
Anyone here have any good suggestions, outside of a Google Sheet, for an efficient way to store character sheets online for running tabletop games via Discord or other materials? I'd love thoughts on a way for player and ST to have access to view.

There's not specifically a V5 dice roller set up for Roll20, and I hate Roll20's interface now, since you can't force the 'map' section to stay minimized. Dropbox and Google Drive would work, but I'm looking for alternate options, particularly for something that is viewable and editable on the fly.

I was just thinking about the sheet storage, not a full-featured 5e game-playing platform. You can do a lot with permissions and Dropbox (and a lot of tablet reader integration) which is why it was my second suggestion.

I'll play around with it. I mostly use dropbox as a dump for file sharing, so I've never really played around with excess features.
-
I've seen people use a wiki for sharing TTRPG data, including characters and session notes and whatnot. Usually wikidot because it's free and simple to set up.

If you mean for D&D 5E, then D&D Beyond is actually pretty baller. And there's an extension you can get that will put up a dice roller you can use for it too.
-
DNDBEYOND is great for 5e and you don't need to buy any books that are not specifically for character gen because you can read almost all of them via a subscription account for 55 bucks a year.
-
Yeah, if this is for 5e, count one more for D&D Beyond. I use it for the campaign I run for co-workers at work, and it has been a godsend.
(Plus, it has a hilarious animated advertisement done in the style of 80's cartoon openings, thanks to Critical Role.)

I use dndbeyond for all my 5e campaigns (4 at present). I love it.

Is this for D&D 5e or Vampire 5e?

He says V5 in the original answer to you, so I am thinking VtM 5e
-
Yes, V5.

If you have someone with some CSS know-how, you might like google fusion tables. It's a pseduo-database, which you may not need, but it allows you to input things via a form and then display them prettily. You could make virtual sheets pretty easily this way, and even embed them elsewhere.
For example, here is a spell card I've made for embedding on a wiki. Here's a card on a Mass Effect planet from years ago when I was building a stupid database of such for RP.
They can look basically any way you want, if you can code it.

@tat
Hmm. This is interesting. I'll dig a little deeper into this. -

Yes, V5.
I didn’t know that V5 only refered to Vampire 5e. My bad.
(Edit: The sarcastic part of me said that this could be read as sarcastic. It’s not. Just like I didn’t know that 5e meant D&D. Y’all are weird.)

@thenomain
LOL sorry. I figured it would be obvious, and it was some other system is be sticking their acronym with it. My bad. -
@thenomain I mean I dont really hear dnd 5e called just 5e unless the people in the conversation only play dnd... which is rare.
