it just always annoyed me that the good sheets wouldn’t work in Open Office I can’t justify buying Microsoft Office to improve my DPS through a spreadsheet.

You have obviously never played “Toon: the Cartoon Roleplaying Game”. One of the things you get points for is making the GM laugh so hard he falls out of his chair.

Thanks, but I don’t think either of those sites were doing open conversions when I was raiding
UGH. I -hate- you for using the word ‘Toon’ -_-; horrible horrible horrible fail.
