Character Sheet is a tabletop RPG app built around homebrew — your own classes, your own rules, your own game, with the same automation you'd expect from official content. Whether you're playing D&D, Nimble, or a system you built yourself, Character Sheet keeps up. Equip a homebrewed item, and your bonuses apply automatically; remove it and they revert just as cleanly. Tweak how it works later, and every class or feat that grants it updates right along with it, no hunting down old references. Share it, and your players get the same update automatically, nothing broken and nothing to rebuild. Everything at the table: • Automated character attributes • Races, Classes, Feats, and Items with custom automated Effects • 3D Dice Roller for skill checks, weapons, and spells • Your full library in one place • Pretty icons with built-in icon editor • Homebrew all the things! Build your own game system - no coding required • Design a custom system with our web Creator Tools, from attributes to full character sheet layouts • Share it with your players, and updates reach them automatically, no reinstalling or lost content We're a small indie team and we genuinely want to hear from you. If you have feedback, ideas, or need help setting up your game, please reach out - we want to help! We read all user feedback, and a lot of what's in the app came from player suggestions.
