Your sheets: the list, creating, importing and the trash

All your characters on one screen: search, filter, duplicate, retire, create a new one, import it and recover it from the trash for 30 days.

All your characters, from every system and every campaign, live on one screen: My sheets. From there you open a sheet, duplicate it, retire it, send it to the trash or start a new one, whichever way you prefer: from scratch or by importing one you already had.

Where it is

Under Home, in My sheets (the route is /sheets), and in the global search (Ctrl K) by typing the character's name. Each sheet opens on its own screen; it can also open in a separate window from the sheet's menu.

Requirements and permissions

Sheets belong to whoever plays them: any account with the player or GM role sees its own. Whoever runs a game also gets the Players view, with the characters their players made in their campaigns.

Step by step

  1. Look at the list. Type in Search for a character to find a character by name.
  2. Filters narrows by System, Campaign and Status (Active, Drafts or Retired). View changes the layout (grid, list or portraits), the size, whether the portrait or the token is shown, the order and the grouping by campaign or system.
  3. Press New character to create: you choose the system in Pick the system and the sheet opens in its wizard. See Available systems: official, Foundry and your own.
  4. Or press Import to bring in a character from Roll20, D&D Beyond, HexSheet or Roliando. See Importing characters: D&D Beyond, HexSheet, Roll20 and Roliando.
  5. The "···" menu on each card, or a right click, offers Open sheet, Edit sheet, Duplicate character, Retire character and Move to trash.

The trash

Trash holds the sheets you have deleted. Deleted sheets are kept for 30 days and can be restored. Each one says how many days it has left; Restore puts it back in the list and Delete permanently deletes it for good, with a confirmation that warns it cannot be undone.

Retiring is not deleting

Retire character puts the character in the "retired" state: it still exists and you can come back with Reactivate character. Use it when a character dies or retires but you want to keep it.

Known limits

  • A sheet linked to a campaign follows that campaign's rules: whoever runs it decides whether you can edit the sheet's insides. See Sheet permissions: playing, editing and approval.
  • The list shows only what you can see; other people's sheets do not appear, except your players' if you run a game.

Frequent problems

"I can't find a character." Clear the filters (Clear the filters); it may be retired or in the trash.

"It is in the trash and the days have passed." After the deadline it is deleted with no way back.
