Create a frame

Updated Oct 25, 2026

Step 1: Open The Forge and select a game

Open The Forge from the top navigation. The page heading reads What would you like to create?

Under SELECT GAME, choose the game you are creating for, such as Dungeons & Dragons 5.5e.

Step 2: Pick a sheet type

On the CREATE CONTENT screen, select CHARACTER SHEET.

Sheets are frames: the layouts that control how an element is displayed.

Step 3: Choose to start with a blank frame

On the CREATE CHARACTER SHEET screen, click CREATE EMPTY CHARACTER SHEET to start with a blank frame.

SELECT CHARACTER SHEET copies an existing layout instead. Choose that option only if you want to build on a layout that already exists.

Step 4: Name the frame and save it

In the CREATE CHARACTER SHEET dialog, type a name in the Enter frame name box.

Choose where to save the frame. Options include Personal Content or one of your campaigns listed below it.

Click CREATE to confirm.

Step 5: Work in the Frame Editor

The Frame Editor opens on your new, blank frame.

Open the Insert tab in the palette to see the components you can add. Drag components from the palette onto the frame to build the layout that displays your element data.
