Watching redeux GM has been both a treat and a scare. So many conditions to track!
I can barely figure out my own characters, haha.
Fun fact: I just realized my character has Continual Recovery. I've been making these complex timetables so that my character only healed characters who could afford the 1 hour cooldowns, and I just straight up forgot I had the feat.

No worries Red, if you post another recruitment on the boards I will find my way there ;) I was so sad to not have PC to play the metaplot series of games :( Actually ... I still am :(
Sounds good! and alas, I was saddened too! It was mostly a crazy idea that enough people showed interest in LOL.

You've inspired me to show my secrets....I offer you my (non-spoiler) my gm screen/pbp formatter
I typed up some basic instructions on the first tab....To be honest, I never pictured sharing this and I'm sure the instructions could be better and the general formatting/etc of the entire spreadsheet could also be better. But it's what has been working for me.
The very high level of things is that it acts as GM screen for me, gives me a single place to track stuff like HP, conditions, GM secrets, and then it carries over the appropriate information into a PbP post format, and then recently I threw together player-facing summary that I add into my slides (slide after my current map). It felt necessary to add the player-facing summary due to the amount of conditions we were needing to track which made the PbP updates a bit unwieldy
If you think this is the best thing ever and should be shared wider then feel free to take it, make it your own, and share your or my version. If you think it is garbage or just not for you then that's fine too. I won't be offended. It was a personal project and something i threw together many months ago when I took over another GM's game and found myself needing to learn everyone's characters mid-go.

Ha, I knew that Redeux is not a person just a sheet macro! :P
Jokes asides that sheet was something that I wanted to create. As tracking fights on a low level even requires some tracking. For now I am just copying and paste it between the posts, but things get lost, and it is messy.
Thanks for sharing that!

Btw. If someone missed it, I saw more and more people use the DougH sheet to generate the secret rolls for players: Macro sheet ;)
It looks like a nice way to ask folks for modifiers and then just copy and paste all sections of rolls.
Ok closing it. as promissed. Stay safe!
