That's a very funky character-sheet! Creating a tool that can create great character-sheets (with images) is tough because you need a lot more than programming skills to get to work. I did.

I think there's mileage in these days of computerised everything for more effort in terms of design and character sheets. Heromachine for example, and Basilisk also provide excellent tools for making characters. There must be a way to do something similar for character generation but provide much more. Whether it's flash, Acrobat or even some clever Ruby code, an automated web based character generator is almost an essential these days. Especially if it prints out in a nice template.

My design skill suck (as you probably tell from my custom theme for my webpage). (Wow, PJ's stuff is pretty cool. I'd love to be even a third as good as him!)
