This is where you apply to create a Dynamic Sheet Templates (DSTs) for D&D 4e, D&D 3.5, or Pathfinder. Read more in "the blog post":http://blog.obsidianportal.com/?p=598
As the other system I actively play besides Exalted, D&D 4th Edition was next on my personal hit list, so I'll take a swing at that if there are no complaints.
Sure, go for it. I'm going to try and dissuade people from doubling up on the more popular systems. I wrote "a blog post":http://blog.obsidianportal.com/?p=598 detailing how I'd like to go about creating DSTs for the more popular systems. I saw that you posted in the other thread, which is good.
Also, feel free to make further requests as to features/changes/enhancements. I still consider this a public beta, so we can still change things as necessary.
Fuhsaz - Sure, Risus sounds good. We don't really have a basic template, other than the devkit. There really is no sense of a basic template, since character sheets from different systems will always be very different. But, we're here if you need help getting things together.
Can you take a look at my demo sheet to see if it is what you are looking for? Here is a link to my Risus blog where I asked readers there for feedback as well:
I don't know anything about Risus, but that's pretty much exactly what I imagined when I first started working on the DST system. Simple, but nicely laid out, and (I assume) makes sense for a user of the system.
After reading your thoughts on the blog post, one suggestion would be to use a flat text field instead of a checkbox for the die type. I understand the desire to constrain choices to only valid choices for the system, but if you don't like the look of the multiple checkboxes, then just make it a flat field and let someone type in "d6" or "d30" Assuming that's a common feature of Risus, most people will know what to do.
Overall, it looks sweet! Upload it to the "DST system":http://www.obsidianportal.com/dynamic_sheet_templates and let me know when you're happy with it. I'll make it live for everyone.
Unfortunately, I lack the technical expertise, wherewithal and... ambition to make one but I was wondering (see; hoping) that someone might be making a DST for Mutants & Masterminds? :-D
I am going to take a swing at the Mouseguard RPG to warm up - that's a real simple one to start. If that goes well, I would like to apply to take a stab at Pathfinder. Was going to start with Ghostbusters RPG, but evidently that has been removed from the game list at some point and I did not notice. So much for my campaign page of it. :/
I expected them to go faster than they did, honestly. I'd like to get a Pathfinder sheet going by mid-august for my own game, so it's very self-serving. :)
If the Pathfinder works out well, I may also try out 3.5 if that is still open by then, as that is a short jump between.
Has anyone applied to do Pathfinder yet? I've not done one before... But I've got some ability with CSS and HTML, and would be willing to take a whack at it...

With a little motivational nudge from Micah (thanks!), I finally finished the sheet for 4th Edition D&D. It's been submitted and should get approved in the near future. I think I've tested it out pretty thoroughly, setting up an "example":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/chainsawxiv-test-campaign/characters/sinruth-the-reformed for you guys to look at, but if you find any issues please let me know and I'll fix them up ASAP.
Yeah. Totally forgot to cross-browser check like I usually do. I'll get that fixed up this evening. Incidentally, in IE8 for me, it's showing all in one column of the layout, instead of breaking across three. Is that just me, or are you seeing that too?
It looks more or less right format-wise to me, except that an image called dd4e_back_bottom.png is at the bottom of the sidebar column on the right, aligned with the bottom of the sheet. And then the broken links thing.
Dragnsteph, what do you mean about the image at the bottom? (It's supposed to be at the bottom, but it should blend seamlessly with the rest of the background. If it's not doing that properly, I'm not sure I understand exactly what the problem is.)
Thanks for the bug reports guys, and the screen shot. I've submitted a version that fixes the reported issues, and a number of other IE8 formatting problems, so you should see those go away in the near future. I also fixed the image frame for wide character portraits while I was at it.

Thanks for taking on the big one!

Probably a browser issue, but I can't click on "Crunch" and "Misc" on my PC here at work (IE8). It worked fine at home last night (Chrome).

Great work, man. Much deserved props.
Dragnsteph, what do you mean about the image at the bottom? (It's supposed to be at the bottom, but it should blend seamlessly with the rest of the background. If it's not doing that properly, I'm not sure I understand exactly what the problem is.)
I'm using IE8, 32bit version.
