Suggestion: Adding the player's name

Foundry · November 24th, 2014, 11:43 AM

This seems like a logical thing that should be on all of the sheets, but why isn't there a spot to input the name of the PLAYER in addition to the character name? Every other printed character sheet that I have seen has a spot for this, but the best software to actually make a character does not. It doesn't make sense.

I have resorted to naming my characters something like: "Character name (Player name)", which is very clunky and looks bad on the sheet.

Is there anyway that you can add a spot to input this during character creation? Thank you in advance.

Whoops! I posted this in the wrong forum. Please move this to the correct one.

I like this idea for all of WLDs product and will be all for it but I don't know if this part of the forum is the best place for it. Maybe a mod could move it where it will get more attention.

Which game system are you asking about?

I just tested, and in both Pathfinder and Shadowrun, I can enter the player name on the configure hero form, and it appears on the printout.

(ctrl-k will let you re-open the configure hero form if you didn't enter a player name when you first started creating your character).
