... Thanks for the input, but I'm not asking whether my basic design, the structure I've outlined, will be good. I am convinced that it will. It combines the...
Obviously general sources should be admitted to. Often doing so is productive, in that it helps you attract those players that are in the target audience for...
Have any of you ever looked into computer-generated HTML character sheets? Especially for serious, high-detail systems? I'm thinking it might be reasonable...

I'm currently busy on a number of non-RPG projects, mostly related to job and stuff like that, so I have very little time, alas, to spend on RPG-creation....
