Of course, there's always LibreOffice which is free and open source )Įdit: WTF Google?! Now "open with" has an option for Google Sheets again, so you can also use that solution. I can see that the changes Google has made have also messed up their handling of conditional formatting, such that the condition monitors no longer auto-fill the unused boxes. In the meantime, I've made a version of the sheet that removed the background images entirely to work better with Sheets, and you can find it here. They may update it further, such that it works. I even confirmed the link with "open in sheets" that has the correct view is the same URL as the one that doesn't they are just opened an hour apart. So I think they are changing functionality as we speak. When I first did this at 1:00, up at the top was an "open with" dialog box that included "Google Sheets" - and using that opened it with the older(?) sheets program, which worked (with the caveats listed in the OP.) So I was going to recommend you just do that, but.īefore I could type that up, I left for an hour to pick up my daughter from school, and now "Open With" no longer includes "Google Sheets." So my advice was an hour out of date and already useless. Which isn't useful at all, unfortunately. You can click through the image to the cells, and the data is there, but it isn't displayed. When I first opened the link, it opened in a sheets-like interface that has the behavior you describe: it shows up "blank" (only the background image showing.) It looked like Google was attempting to add the ability to have background images, but didn't quite get it. Very strange - Google seems to have changed sheets, and then changed it again while I was investigating it. If you're making a character this weekend, go ahead and give it a try. Google Sheets is also noticeably slower.įor a sample, this is the spreadsheet for the decker archetype from the book, and here is the pdf character sheet that it generates for the same character. Specifically, you'll have to delete the background images on the printable sheet, and manually set print areas on the printable sheet (Google Sheets doesn't support the custom print ranges that make this automatic in the other two programs.) And it won't look as nice, as Google tends to re-size things and place the drop-down arrows in different places. It works in Google Sheets, too, except for some visual and print issues. It's made in LibreOffice, which is free and available almost anywhere. Guaranteed to be as error-free as the source material (that's a joke.).No macros or anything, so safe for even the most security conscious user.Has an error box to warn you about rules violations, unspent points, etc.Extra sheets for mages, riggers, and deckers, with condition monitors for all your drones (well, ten, unless you use two sheets.).Mundane characters can get by with two pages, plus a third for background info if they want it.Shows rules notes for various bits of cyberware, wireless bonuses, etc.TONS of tabs for getting into detail on many aspects of Shadowrun, like magic, cyberlimbs, rigging, matrix, contacts, etc.Drop-down selection boxes for most things to make building a character "easy".Tries to generate a decent printable sheet from all the spreadsheet mess.I've made a sheet to help with character creation - you can get it here.

Sadly our nova hot community isn't the best place to discuss the mechanics discussion or troubleshooting the video games. Mostly the pen and paper role playing game, but also the deck building card game, video games, and literature of Shadowrun. Discussion is primarily aimed at exploring narratives found in the Sixth World. Here at /r/Shadowrun we talk shop about all things in the shadows.
