Excel Sheet Assistance Wanted!

[Brentos]

I am creating a character generator in excel for 4e, and would like to get some feedback/opinions/wants. It is currently in a very alpha-stage, but I would like to have some people check it out and give some ideas for usability, wanted functions, etc.

I have posted it at:
http://groups.google.com/group/dd4excel

so that it can have its own discussion thread there.
(Or, if this is against the EN rules, let me know and I'll delete this post)

Thanks,
-Brent

One-time bump for interest....

then I'll let the thread die if there are no responses....

Thanks,

You'll probably get more response on the Creations and House Rules forum. There's a number of Excel/character projects on the go there.

Ohhh, thanks...I didn't even notice that area! I'll go over there.

You're lucky I happened to see this! Moved now.

If you ever start a thread in the wrong forum, you can always use the 'report a post' feature to ask us to move it to the right place.

Cheers

Brentos, I'd be happy to give some feedback, but I don't want to join a google group to do it. Can you just attach the excel file to your post?

My friend gave me a bit of good advice for excel sheets. Don't feel like you need to make the excel sheet model a paper character sheet. Excel has a lot of very powerful capabilities, and if you try to shoehorn it into looking like a regular character sheet, you'll end up with something that is less than it could be.

Thanks for the move!

And thanks for the comments, I don't think I can attack it directly here (or I don't know how), but send me your e-mail through my profile, and I can send it to you (anyone else who is Goggle-shy, too).

When you make a post, look a bit further down the page for "Additional Options" below your submit button.

You should see an option called "Attach Files" with a button to "Manage Attachments".

Press that button and all should become clear.
