Before posting your Resource, please make sure you can answer YES to any of the following questions:
  • Is the resource ENTIRELY my own work?
  • If no to the previous one, do I have permission from the original author?
  • If no to the previous one, did I put a reasonable amount of work into the resource myself, such that the changes are noticeably different from the source that I could take credit for them?
If you answered no to all three, maybe you should consider taking your stuff somewhere other than the Resources forum.

Please don't put requests here! They have their own forum --> here. Thank you!

Here's what it looks like on my side of things at the moment.

Interesting. :D Could you possibly do that for the full character sheet? :) I'd like to see what that looks like in-game.

I haven't used Imagetool in ages, heh. :P It frustrated the hell out of me with its pernicketyness regarding what you could and couldn't do with a character sheet. 'Swhy I do all my fonts with FONTDEFS these days, but I suppose I could take a crack at that.

Could someone help me recolor this font (Slade's remap feature comes in very handy for stuff like this) so it gets translated properly? All my attempts have yielded in even shittier results than these. :?

This small font is really hard to read. Maybe try removing the border, or blackening it.

It looks kinda grungy, as if it had been shrunk down.

Not sure why you'd think that - it hasn't. All drawn from scratch. :P
