If you're getting into or thinking about getting into online play but are worried its complicated, its not. Just hand me
1) your character sheet
2) A pretty picture of your character(s)
You can try out the setup yourself with the directions here Fill out attributes and abilities
If you can show me your character somehow I'll turn them into a roll20 token for you. I can use a Mythweavers character sheet, excel cookie maker sheet, hero lab print out, snap a picture or scan your paper character sheet, have them done out on your paizo account, or scribbled on a piece of bark. Doesn't matter.
Give me a poke on most of the Starfinder discords, a pm here, or you can send the character to gmail bignorsewolf
Once the character is on the map, you click the token on the map. Pop up buttons appear way up at the top of the page. higher. Hiiiigher.. there. You click your token, you click the thing you want them to do. Attack, full attack, saves, etc. It only takes me 5 minutes.(spellcasters a bit longer)
To get it to your roll20 table, you can either say "hey wolf this is the roll20 link to my game, move this character here" or learn to import to your vault export to your table. The DM needs to set the table to allow imports, and either him, you, or me need a paid account.
Basic Guide to roll20 How to import a character The rest of it is worth a look too.
Anyone can use it without having to keep roll20 and their character open
It will work on both simple and official starfinder tables (You can in fact, drop them into a game of ars magica or my little pony and they'll still work) Most society games use the roll20 simple sheet but every once in a while you find someone from meatspace that uses the official sheet. Character sheets will break on the wrong table
Druid proof Resistant initiative button: In roll20 you have to click your token before you hit initiative. Someone forgets this at least once a fight. Since the macros are tied to the token you have to click your token to roll init.
DisAdvantages:
It can't automatically crit. (You'll have to press the damage button again or just type in [[1d8+3]] extra damage
You get a very basic purple print out instead of the very cool computer tab styled outputs from the character sheets.
It doesn't double as a character sheet: You'll need a character sheet somewhere else too. (most do this anyway)
Leveling is almost making the sheet over, since nothing auto calculates.

While I appreciate the amazing work here, and most folks characters are 'pretty' in their mindset it seems hardly fair to set a bar for physical appearance that's based on an incredibly subjective norm.
ie, some of my characters are *not* pretty, does that mean I can't use this process?

If you look up 'pretty' in the dictionary, it has a variety of meanings:
1a: ARTFUL, CLEVER
b: PAT, APT2a: pleasing by delicacy or grace
b: having conventionally accepted elements of beauty
c: appearing or sounding pleasant or nice but lacking strength, force, manliness, purpose, or intensity
pretty words that make no sense
— Elizabeth B. Browning3a: MISERABLE, TERRIBLE
a pretty mess you've gotten us into
b chiefly Scotland : STOUT4: moderately large : CONSIDERABLE
a very pretty profit
cost a pretty penny5: easy to enjoy : PLEASANT —usually used in negative constructions
reality is not so pretty
— Caleb Solomon
In other words, I do not believe that BNW is requiring a comely character picture for this project. Instead, think of it as a picture that represents your character in an APT or ARTFUL way.
Also... 'Pretty picture' alliterates, which makes it fun to say.

his tokens work. and it wont matter what table you go to, you'll be able to roll your actions. bouncing between standard and simple sheets everything will get... messy. but. the buttons will forever work.
i think i imported one to a pathfinder game the other day and i still shot a laser at my buddy to show him how the token worked.
