Main Page: Building Character Sheets

This article is a stub. You can help the Roll20 Community Wiki by expanding it.

The sheet.json is a file required for character sheets that are submitted to Roll20. If you're just using a custom sheet in your normal game, you don't need the sheet.json(in fact, you can't even use one).

Default Sheet Settings are optional things saved on the sheet.json.

Creating a sheet.json File

See the instructions on github.com/Roll20/roll20-character-sheets#creating-your-own

Example

sheet.json for roll20's kitchensink sheet example, contains all mandatory sections. kitchensink/sheet.json

{
  "html": "kitchensink.html",
  "css": "kitchensink.css",
  "authors": "Roll20 Team (@roll20app)",
  "roll20userid": "1",
  "preview": "kitchensink.png",
  "instructions": "**This is a test**\n\nYou can put Markdown-formatted instructions here for how to use your sheet. Please try to keep it moderately-short (500 characters or less is preferred).",
  "legacy": true
}

Optional

Following things can be included to the file, but are not mandatory:

• "useroptions" – Default Sheet Settings
• "patreon", "tipeee" – sponsor links to sheet authors: Patreon and Tipeee Linking Rules for Community Sheet Contributors
• "compendium" – defines which game system's i Compendium is associated with the sheet. See Compendium Integration for more
