I'm running a game of D&D and needed an accessible character sheet that works from a phone with good support for pinch-to-zoom.

Tried fillable PDFs and a bunch of online stuff. None of it worked well. The spreadsheet fields' font sizes were all weird, and even if you manually correct them it would reset on every edit. There were some promising web-based options described as "responsive character sheet", but they tended to fall apart at large text sizes.

Best option? A spreadsheet from Knights of The Braille: https://knightsofthebraille.com/59-2/

Instead of trying to shove an 8.5x11 paper layout into a phone, it just groups stuff into tabs that make more sense anyway. And if you were completely blind I bet it's still easy to navigate with VoiceOver.

We're using Numbers because it's what we both have, but I think Excel should work similarly.

If anyone's reading this from the Google Docs team, please take another look at Sheets' pinch-to-zoom behavior. That was the first place I ended up when I went looking for character sheet spreadsheets online, and it was the first one I ruled out because of how shitty the experience was on mobile.

Past edit window, but if not obvious from context "spreadsheet fields" should be "PDF fields"
