  • Sorry I meant getting the union of two ranges, concatenating two columns, putting the data of two different columns into one. Don’t worry about it though, I found you can do some stuff with INDEX, but then you can’t sort it, so I arranged my data in another way and color coded it… The whole process was quite annoying tbh but I got what I wanted. On your example with checkboxes they don’t behave as part of the cell, idk how they work but that’s weird compared to gdocs. I can use true/false instead. Also I didn’t want to turn this thread into a Calc stackoverflow one ^^ Thanks for the help all the same.

    Some functions like QUERY, SORT, CHOOSECOLS, MAP* that makes it easier. I tried to understand how merging several columns into one would work in Calc and gave up. There are workarounds but no legit way to do it outside scripting, but I’d like to keep my sheets script free. Also there are no in cell checkboxes in Calc, but I guess you could just use a boolean. Overall I’m often frustrated by Calc and shamefully go back to G.


  • I’m always biased against VTTs, maybe I’m wrong. They always seem to want to sell rulesets and adventures on top of subscriptions (eww) or the software. Not sure if you can play a game previously own without buying it again, or sometime they limit the ability to make a custom one without a subscription and so on. I’m usually fine with VOIP and some form of chat or forum anyway.

    If you’re going for something mostly about the world you play in, the characters, ambiance, … I wouldn’t go to deep with a system. Keep it simple like a d100 basic system or something. Else it will take away from the roleplay and occupy the space in your games. My worst experiences in trpg were with systems with two many steps for a roll, too many rules to keep up with, that kind of stuff. The more time passes the less rules I want, give me a few attributes and skills with a d20 or d100 and let’s go!
