Multiple Character sheets ability

Since many of our forums include RPG's I think that we should offer Multiple stlye sheets for the various RPG formats. What I suggest is a Drop Down menu for members to select the character sheet style that they would want to use.

In the Admin panel you should be able to select "Add New Character Sheet - name that sheet - Create that sheet - and then post for member use.

The purpose for this is so that if a member belongs to two or more RPG's Say "Pokemon" and then "Dungeon's and Dragons" That member would be able to have two separate character sheets distinctive to their game within their profile to select from while playing their separate games.

I know that they won't be able to use both sheets simultaneously but they should still be able to "Switch Identities" when leaving one game and entering into another.

I can nearly see how to do this -- it would be similiar to the dice roller format and the Modules format.

Massive problem with what you are suggesting.

For your idea to work, you would need the character sheets already pre-made, then the members fill in whatever it is they need to, or an Admin does for RPG purposes to avoid cheating. (I do that on my site)

So, who would pre-make these sheets? Forumotion?

They can't cover all the types of RPG's out there, only leave a basic version of the sheets.... which they would "Hope" can be used in accordance with the RPG type, otherwise it's pointless.

I like the idea, but it's going to be so awkward to do.

So "No!" from me...sorry

I do see your point and that thought did occur to me as well, though I did fail to mention that. In answer...Yes. Forumotion can and does make the generic sheets which can be altered at the Admin level. Yet the point is... to allow members to have more than one character sheet, and to be able to select and witch between their alternate egos
