Although I'm new to roll20, I was comfortable with the second/shaped sheet, and was going to tell Corey I was almost done. Back to the drawing board; hope this new sheet has the bugs worked out. PS (update): New sheet seems pretty good--more there at a glance.

I have switched over to the new sheets. They seem less clunky. I'm sorry to make everyone have to redo them for the third time.

Concerning sheet-switching. If I am not mistaken, the new R20 sheet retains the attributes/info from the 'old' sheet even after the switch, assuming you filled out those fields. Especially for players with Character Vaults, you can pull your character out and load it up into a separate game with the old sheet, and the data should still be there for you. This may be useful, because you can still use it for reference or cut/paste some things.
If nobody has a vault, Corey might create a copy of the campaign with the other sheets, to serve as a 'Campaign of Holding.'

Am I missing how to make the new character sheet do damage on an attack? I can only make it display an attack roll.
Well. Two attack rolls.

Click on the name of the attack. So if my attack name is "Short Sword" I have to click on "Short Sword" in the chat to make it display damage.

So, we haven't even started yet and I'm gonna cause a problem.
Yesterday was my birthday. Turns out my wife had gotten me tickets to a show on the 11th before I joined this campaign. So I won't be able to play on the 11th. I sincerely apologize. Certainly you can start without me and I can figure out a way my character would join up on the second week.

You can toggle the damage rolls on or off by going to the settings tab of the character sheet. It's the gear. There's a few other important ones also.
Another thing I just learned. If you set the sheet to only roll attacks, the resulting roll shows a link in the chat window. If you click that link it will roll damage for you. It is actually quite cool.

That's fine, we'll fit you in next time around.

For character creation, are we using the standard PHB outlay of gold, kit and weapons, based on class and background? That's what I am setting up. But if we all get 14,000 gold to start with, I am coming out with a Zeppelin.

Corey, but for my portrait/token, I think my sheet is done--in case you want to check it. I'm starting to wonder whether you wanted everyone to start an RP on the island(s), duh. Jaz literally just got off the boat, and since it's a seedy part of town, he's sticking close to Olek. Do you want the PCs to meet up at Wesson's (or is it Weston?), or beforehand by comingling threads or something?
Chris, I'll gladly take you up on your portrait/token offer when I find a suitable image.

What is this island that you speak of? And its Weston, I mistakenly had it wrote down as Wesson in my online notes. When we start on Thursday, your characters will be called to Mr. Weston's office. You would have each received a message to be there at that time. So some of you could have met, some of you may have not. The general idea is that you're new members of the Radiant and will form his newest team.

I was talking about your "Dreams of Darkness" thread. Wayward's the only one that seemed to get that.

The island I was talking about wasn't anything to do with that thread. It was from my original character concept when I didn't even know this site existed.

Even a blind pig can find an acorn once in awhile. (nothing personal Wayward)
