In 2022, GiGs started writing a Roll20 Sheet Author Guide at cybersphere.me, breaking it down by topic. Articles are simple & approachable. As of May 2024, there are lots of articles, and in many cases their take on a topic is more useful than the community wiki page/section on the same thing. Andreas J. (talk) 12:02, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

[edit] A Sheet Author's Journey
A series of forum posts by Scott C., going through the steps from start to finish with creating a new character sheet template, as he creates a sheet for The Hero’s Journey, 2nd edition. The guide is fairly advanced.
K-Scaffold, a PUG framework created by him, is used though the guide to create the sheet. K-scaffold Intro

[edit] Resources
[edit] Translation
See Character Sheet Translation for how internationalization of sheets work.
[edit] Tools
To truly test sheets, one needs to do so inside Roll20 using either available tool, and any try at offline/local testing will lack connection to Roll20's backend & the default CSS libraries/styling Roll20 has for character sheet elements.
- Sheet Sandbox
- Sheet Editor
- VS Code Great cross-platform code editor, which even have a few Extensions specifically for Roll20 sheet development.
