Poll Results (2024 Rules)

The poll has closed and the results are in. At 51.3%, Wait for the web-app is the winner of the 4 options.

A big thanks to everybody who voted in the poll and those who responded with their thoughts on the matter. It greatly helps me to understand what you prioritise in a character sheet.

*With the 3 other options being a vote for (first) updating the PDF with the 2024 rules, the poll doesn't actually have such a clear winner as one might think at first glance.

This is on me, I probably should've thought about the poll options a bit better. In my defence, I had not considered that waiting for the web-app would get this much support. I really expected it would be dead heat between the first two options (minimal code changes or minimal design changes). How foolish do I look now...

At 48.7%, the vote for first updating the PDF before working on the web-app is in a very close second place. Because almost half of the 1060 responses wanting to have a workable 2024 PDF before I put my full focus on the web-app, I would like to meet you halfway.

I have decided to first get a 2024 PDF Character Sheet ready for you. However, this will be one I put minimal time and efforts into. This will include leaning a lot on the excellent work that the community has done in getting an add-on script going for all the 2024 changes.

I'll adopt this add-on script and create a 2024 character sheet PDF that will be made available alongside the current 2014 character sheet PDF.

This 2024 version will not have any changes to the design and only the bare minimum of underlying code changes (if any are even necessary). For example, the sheet will still refer to "known" spellcasters for Bards and Sorcerers even though the terminology has changed in the 2024 PHB (the functionality hasn't however).

Once this 2024 version is done, I'll continue with renewed focus on the web-app.

I intend to have this PDF done in time for you Adventurers League players to be able to meet the tight deadline AL has imposed. I won't make any promises, though, there is a lot of content to review.

While the web-app is in development, I will still fix bugs in the sheets. I'll also keep its content updated, although I might look to the community to help speed up the process.

If you are wondering what this web-app is that I'm talking about, then please see the previous post: FAQ About The Next Step.
