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

Resources
Translation
See Character Sheet Translation for how internationalization of sheets work.
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.
