Sharing sheets with the GM in Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5th Edition
Share your character cleanly so the GM can review without screenshots or spreadsheets. Use the links below to apply the workflow in Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5th Edition 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 (Werewolf)
Werewolf W5 uses d10 dice pools: roll Attribute + Skill, count successes on 6+, with criticals on paired 10s. Rage dice replace part of your pool and can push results brutal, power at the cost of control.
Example: Two 10s make a critical; if Rage dice drove it, the win comes with the wolf off the leash.
Key facts

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.
