PrismScroll Sheets

I love this app, it does what I need for the most part and lets me create custom sheets without getting in my way. I play a lot of less popular ttrpgs (Mechwarrior 2e, EotE, Fudge, etc) so being able to create a custom digital sheet from a pdf is a godsend. The main improvement I'd love to see is the option to remove the colors from input fields when editing a sheet as a player. I have a great custom character sheet but it's covered in big ugly red/gray/blue boxes and really takes away from the experience. I love the simple equations you can create to auto calculate basic things like saving rolls. It would be awesome of you could dynamically set a value based on the contents of another field, but that's asking for a lot. The functionality right now lets me create 90% automated sheets and that is awesome on the go. Thanks for creating this it has become an essential part of my GM and player toolkit!

Great job~

I bought this app specifically to make custom character sheets for my players, however when attempting to export the blank sheet/template that I had created from a PNG and added text boxes and fields and buttons, it was not form fillable and did not work for my players. This could be useful to players possibly, but not dungeon masters/ game masters.

I own most of Prism’s character sheet apps and to be honest Prismsheets is the one I use 99% of the time. For me I like it because I don’t play the regular RPGs all the time like D&D, Pathfinder, and CoC. The apps for D&D and CoC are nice, but I use sheets with those as well. Now onto a wishlist of future improvements. 1. The equation section is not usable for me. Not sure if it is me, or just the setting does not work. I would see if possible doing it by saying text field 1 + text field 2= put answer is text field 28. Not sure if you already have it like that, but I just don’t fight with the equation function at all. 2. Have a way to click on linkable boxes. I use just a line paper PDF I put at the end of each character sheet I create. I do this for writing down things like feets/gift descriptions. I wouldn’t mind being able to link the boxes, so if I say I have X gift in Werewolf the Apocalypse. I can click on the text field and it sends me to the linked text box on a different page. That way I don’t have to scroll through my notes to see what I need to do for a gift. 3. More button option. To the best of my knowledge you have on and off. For games like vampire though giving us more options would help. When controlling health in vampire it has you fill in the boxes you can’t use. The remaining boxes you leave blank then go through with a slash then when each blank box has a slash you go back with an x. It would help if I could create a button that has four clicks. Like for vampire I would have blank square, square with a slash, square with an x, filled in square. Right now for vampire I just translate how many hits I can take and have two text boxes over the health squares. For me this is a nice app. I can either download a picture of the character sheet and import it into the app, or take a picture of the sheet from the back of the app and import it for harder to find RPG character sheets. It take forever to create some character sheets but that is less of the app’s fault and more on the sheet design. Like Vampire/Werewolf took forever to make doing a button for each dot. Now that it is done I don’t need to do it again. Not sure how easy it would be to create it on my iPhone and send the file to my iPad. I have not tried it yet, but I am using my iPhone more now that the app is available on iPhone. Overall if you just play D&D you would do better to just get Prism’s D&D app. If you are like me and play 2nd, 3.5, and 5th of D&D. Then swit

I was really looking for an app that would allow me to make character sheets for other RPGs that were not 5e, pathfinder, Starfinder etc. As I tend to branch out to other RPGs, such as RISUS, OVA and etc. Of course the problem with finding apps forsaking character sheets for those is impossible as they lack the popularity to get their own apps. However when I heard about this app and the fact you could create any type of character sheet for any type of game, I was excited but skeptical. I jumped right into making a template for a RISUS character sheet, using an image of a RISUS character sheet template. To my surprise I was able to make a character sheet just like the original RISUS character sheet! The level of customization and detail you can put into the character sheets is incredible and met my relatively simple needs. I am going to try and make a more complicated sheet next from OVA and look forward to making that work as well. With all the customization options for creating easily translatable character sheets, I see myself using this app for a long time to come!

Good

I love the idea for this app. However, in its current state, it’s hard to recommend it. I tried it out hoping to take all my favorite character sheets and, with time and effort, make them work digitally. However, even the default built in sheets feel cluttered due to the big opaque colored rectangles present wherever you want to put a text box, and when I try to use a sheet, I found the way the screen immediately zoomed and snapped away to move the text box I’m typing in to the top left corner jarring and inconvenient. The functionality is also in my opinion FAR too limited. With the only 4 options being a single line text box, a multi line text box, a toggle-able button, and an image, it lacks any option to utilize more advanced tools to make it match up with non-custom character sheet apps like the ability to create a numerical box you could add or subtract from, tie values together so changes to one are reflected in another, or set defaults to instantly reset a characters health and the like. I’m torn, because while I love the idea and think with some improvements this app could be a game-changer, in its current state I can’t recommend it over a PDF editor to somebody looking to use their favorite custom character sheets or build their own on iOS, and I can’t recommend it over other character sheet apps to somebody looking for a functional digital character sheet.

I really like the idea of this app. And wish to use it so I can add other sheets into my iPad other than 5e. But yet for some reason after spending my 7 dollars it doesn’t want to download and is all grayed out. I am annoyed. Idk if its the app or my internet so I say try it. It seems to be a good program. But note that this is a problem and might happen to you.

It’s the only custom character sheet creator in the App Store (there’s one other app, but it’s pretty terrible tbh) and has a massive amount of potential. The Prism interface is beautifully minimal as ever and the developer is about as active and helpful as you can get. Can’t wait to see where the dev takes this utility, and all the Prism apps.

This is a really awesome idea to be able to create custom sheets but it’s no there quiet yet. It’s kinda complicated to use and I couldn’t find just a blank default template to work on. One way to start a fresh template is to find a white background image then you can use that. Like my subject says, great idea. Still has a lot of work to make it more user friendly and more usable in general
