Scriptcards allow you to go way beyond what's possible with a normal Roll20 macro. I've got a bunch of videos around them, like this one that shows how you can automate 5e's Chaos Bolt spell -ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4D6360giWww.html
Great video - as always!! I love ScriptCards and am still learning them. My problem is visual. I have multiple visual impairments and struggle with sizing. I would use them more if the output could be more in the format of the standard templates (eg simple, attack, nocattack etc). It would make my life easier. Is that possible?
Glad you liked it! The Roll20 templates and scriptcards are separate from one another, but I think you can specify bigger fonts and styles - I’ll do some research over the next few days and let you know what I find. Happy gaming!
Nick, I've only just started tinkering with Scriptcards, and one thing I noticed is that it seems really hard to find information on whether you can uses existing templates. I;m not looking for the attck templates per se, but the general background fon'ts and colour schemes etc. Are scriptcards a separate "thing"or is there a simple way that for example, my Call of Cthulhu game, I can just apply the R20 Official CoC Template to a scriptcard output? Or will the Scriptcard format allow me to "emulate" those designs... Got to be honest, formating hasn;t been a priority as I try to learn how it all workos, andit's not exactly an issue. But this video is really helpful for my upcoming Mythras Imperative game as it has no bespoke template... I just remembered the issue I had with the Cthulhu scriptcards output and couldn't find how or where to put the standard template information. It's no understatement to say that Scriptcards ARE indeed a game changer. If someone as "code-illiterate" as me can start figuring it out, anyone can. (But if you ARE as code-illiterate as I am it does take some effort to learn...)
ScriptCards and. the R20 templates are separate, but you might be able to emulate those designs. Thanks for watching, and good luck with your upcoming campaign!
That would be up to your GM to share with you what mods they have installed in the game, if they have a character sheet for the template and if they give you permission to create a template - or use the mod. Personally, I let my players know what mods are on installed and what they are allowed to access. We have discussions. If they want to use a mod, we will schedule a test session where I can observe (and backup the game prior to testing).
Hi Nick, I really want to start using Scriptcards but the idea of replicating them from game to game was holding me back. My question is, if you transmorgrify the character sheet to a new game, do they all update when you make changes or is it only in that one particular game you make the change in and you would have to update that character sheet across all the different games to keep them equal. Thanks!
If Kurt wanted to make it even easier - he could make it so ScriptCards attempts to detect a new character with that exact name and create it if it doesn't exist. No different than detecting journals or tables.
