And if you DO want all the battlemaps with the bells and whistles, it's compatible with Tabletop Simulator, which is also compatible with HeroForge to make your own minis!
I have been looking for an innovative yet simple vtt that can let me create my own character sheets. This is exactly what I have been looking for so thank you Dungeon Newb! It is greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for this great video, as funny as it's instructive. You captured the essence of our project perfectly 🤩I hope your community will find it interesting.
Honestly I wish I could have FoundryVTT for the maps, and all the other cool modules, but the character sheets from this. It's irritating trying to add onto homebrew in foundry systems, or creating your own character sheets that are automated. Would be a nice module for foundry to connect them so you don't have to keep switching in and out of tabs.
Excellent as always. I'm always appreciative of you shouting out new services and VTTs and programs to help make a GM's and player's life easier. That said, I do want to grill you a bit, just to be fair; I already use Fari as my very basic, customizable character sheet, on your recommendation, in fact. Do you think there's a comparison to be made between the two, maybe one does something better and vice versa? I'm more than happy to make an account and test out anything that's free and simple, but I really like what Fari brings to the table and I'd like to know if this is a potential shift, or just a new backup.
Hi @StarkMaximum, I'd like to answer your question. There are many things that differentiate us, whether in our functionalities, our ergonomics or our design. However, if I had to choose 3 of our strong points, I'd go for the following: Our portability: our sheets are all mobile-friendly, so they can be used for both online and IRL games. Our automation: our sheet can include calculation formulas using other values from the sheet thanks to # references. Our inventory manager and spell book: our role-playing templates integrate several DBs allowing you to configure all your game's items and spells in advance to save time in the game.
A good question, and I have so much love for Fari as well. I think they both do a lot of the same stuff, but each has small areas they excel in. I think Fari is a lot better for presenting more information to everyone. If you want a VTT where you can have a lot of information laid out for both the GM and the players, Fari is frankly kind of hard to beat. Take like Blades in the Dark or Fabula Ultima, games where the GM and players are constantly setting up and creating "clocks" to track the progress of dangers and tasks. You want everyone to be able to see those, and Fari will do that, while CSO just will not (at least not right now). CSO has it to the players only see their character sheet and the shared chat, and that's it. They don't see the other sheets or the GM screen stuff. It really puts the blinders on for players, but in a good way. Some games you don't need readily accessible information or trackers for everyone, and CSO will give you that with almost no hoops for players to jump through to learn it. It is really distilled things down into a more pure form that might work better for some folks.
Surprisingly enough what didn't stick to me about CSO is it being too confusing, way too many buttons at the screen at all times it's really overwhelming for me at least, which I think is something more about me because I also feel the same way about Fari. I found Role VTT much more simple and straightforward both to create sheets and to use them so it's still my go-to VTT.
I took a look at this right after watching this video and I don't see anything "easy" about this. Seemed like I had to set up a bunch of buttons or whatever to roll something instead of just clicking on the skill. Maybe it's different for other systems then d20? i was checking out the Star Wars RPG "system" they had, used one of the premades and can't for the life of me figure out how to roll anything and I haven't had more time to dig into it more. If I click the dice on the right it brings up 1 of those dice to roll, I can't figure out how to create a pool.
@@roll4stealth671 Hello roll4stealth671, I'd like to reply. All the dice are available at the bottom right of your screen. Just click on them to roll them. The star wars template is a bit special because it uses a custom die system. Each die has a name that has been defined in the template. To roll several dice, you can, for example, write "3DA" or "2DP+2DA" in the chat.
And if you DO want all the battlemaps with the bells and whistles, it's compatible with Tabletop Simulator, which is also compatible with HeroForge to make your own minis!
Oh yeah !🎉

I've been using it for almost a year now, and I can confirm its simplicity, which I haven't found anywhere else

Alright which one of you got my boi a green screen for his birthday?
I ain't complaining btw
Great vid! Loving the greenscreen!

@@TheDungeonNewbsGuide Interesting, something to think about. Thank you very much, sir!
Holy shit! YOU'RE REAL?!?!?!
Seems like it 😁
Nice coat
plz do a review for Fantasy Age 2e?
I do own FA2e and have read the beginning, but I got distracted with a bunch of other games. I do plan to talk about it...I just don't know when!
@@TheDungeonNewbsGuide yay

Please dont compare Fari vs CSO... xD
Not the same tool !
Cso is very complet. 😉
@@Panorius yeah definitely, just saying about the feeling I have about both is the same, which is feeling overwhelmed.

I am new to this field
I downloaded this app called Mrpg, and the character sheet confuses the hell out of me😅
I just don't like that you dont get 1 free template you can make. You have to pay a monthly sub for 3, at minimum. Other than that, it's pretty good.
