[QUOTE="Sparky, post: 4940745, member: 13681"] [B]@Everyone:[/B] In response to Walking Dad's request - I don't want any sblocks hiding OOC information. I do like that sblocks hide OOC clutter from the IC flow. The color and size of the OOC text is my compromise to making OOC less intrusive. [I]Two Reasons for no sblocks:[/I] 1. Text hidden in sblocks is unsearchable. That means that I can't use ctrl-f to find things on a page (and though I can use the forum search, that search is rough at best). So to find something that's in a statblock I have to dig more than if that something weren't hidden. 2. I don't need them. I keep all that mini statblock information in a spreadsheet for my reference. It occurs to me that you guys might want the miniblocks as an easy point of reference to keep tabs on your own and others' HP, power uses, etc. I've used Google Group spreadsheets as maps in games past. Not great to look at but effective. I also used a more conventional spreadsheet to track stats. I didn't expose it to the players because it had NPC info on it, but I could easily strip that info out and publish it for player use. Work? [/QUOTE]
