Sharing sheets with the GM in Freeform / Custom
Share your character cleanly so the GM can review without screenshots or spreadsheets. Use the links below to apply the workflow in Freeform / Custom and keep it consistent across sessions.
Workflow (do this first)
- Finalize before sharing, leave WIP fields blank, not half-filled.
- Toggle the sheet to a shareable link (or share with the GM by handle).
- Send the link, not a screenshot or PDF, the GM needs to read derived values.
- Update in place when the GM approves changes; the link stays the same.
Roll loop reminder (Freeform / Custom)
Resolution follows your table's chosen system: declare what your character attempts, make the roll your rules call for, and apply the outcome to the fiction and the sheet.
Example: Treat every roll as a decision: success advances, failure changes the situation.
Common mistakes
- Mistake: Sending a screenshot of the sheet. Fix: GMs can’t read tiny stats or check derived math from a JPG, share the live link.
- Mistake: Five players, five formats (Google Sheets, PDF, Notion, Discord). Fix: Pick one shared format so reviews are quick and consistent.
