When you use an official logo, make sure your use complies with the Steve Jackson Games Online Policy for distributed materials.

You might want to take a look at the GURPS Character Sheet software. It's free and works on the mac.

It looks pretty good. I would definitely use GCS on my computer, but I could see it being of use on an iPad or the like.

I would recommend including a link to your download site somewhere on the character sheet. A feature request would be to have it open ready to be printed out and fit on one page.

If the PC is too involved/complicated to fit on one page, you should be using GURPS Character Sheet.

Hi Munin - thanks for the tips. I have just read through the policy and made some changes - hope i caught it all. It should be uploaded later tonight (my time is UTC+10.)

I looked at gcs-java. Very nice - best looking java UI I've seen in a LONG while. I liked playing with it - the stats are very combat friendly. the social/advantages/ disadvantages part was sort of hidden - you had to explicity add them in. I think that's to make it customisable - sets of ad/dis so that you can group them for a flavour kind of reason. But I wanted them to default straight on to the sheet. I'm going to do one char in my numbers sheet and then go back and retry. Thanks for the info.

Thanks Captain Joy - I've made those changes. Good tips!

All the ads/disads/skills data, I hand typed all that info in back when I made my GURPS-character-sheet spreadsheet. Keep us posted about any updates.

I have a question: to add a skill, you type in the name of the skill and the level you want--the spreadsheet does the rest. Correct?
