So, two things:<\/p>\n

One, I had a request by r\/SWRPG user nvcradio to convert a one-shot character sheet (from One Shot First<\/em>) into a standalone sheet. It would have been easy enough to just pull out the page from the master MS Word file and distribute it as a Word doc, but I really wanted to make something with fillable forms, so I decided to tap the Acrobat subscription that’s sitting untouched on my Creative Cloud account. (I discovered to my chagrin, a few hours in, that MS Word can indeed make fillable forms for .pdf export. Whoops.)<\/p>\n

So I learned a little bit about Acrobat, which was nice, and did several hours worth of research on its scripting API. I put together a pretty nifty interactive .pdf one-page character sheet, which is gold-plated to the moon and back, and you can find it over on the Miscellaneous page.<\/p>\n

Also of note is the tentative step I’ve made into producing some more generic assets. Over at the Roll20 Marketplace<\/a>, you can see the large tileset I put together as a “testing the waters” for making large generic asset packs. It’s not quite as fun as making Star Wars stuff, but it was a nice side project, and (critically?) I can actually sell something like that. We’ll see how that shakes out.<\/p>\n

In the mean time, I’ve got a large project in the pipes that should hopefully be visible around the end of the year (boy, that’s coming fast!), so keep an eye out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
