These threads are a good place to start to understand how we do things here.
And this thread is helpful if you are interested in making a google slide presentation.
Which that’s fine. Just because a google form is common that doesn’t mean you have to use one. There are other RPs that don’t use a google form either.
But about the threads, since it appears that your “character sheet” thread and this thread are both for signing up, it seems the best course of action is going to be to merge them. Unless you want to make this a chat thread?
