For consistency with the new site, OGMW now accepts email address as a login credential in addition to user name. User name will eventually be removed, so we recommend getting in the habit of using email address going forward.
Honestly, I, as a DM, kinda don't like this setup. I really don't need your entire sheet, down to the fluff text for a sewing needle, right in front of me.
The one I personally use is extremely simple, possibly too simple. Some people prefer text boxes rather than spoilers.
I like yours too and I agree about having too much information. I have had DMs that request everything, down to exact weights before, so I've learned to add more than necessary than have to keep going back and adding.
There was a post yesterday requesting templates, so please, let's keep adding them. This got created from that post by one of the Admins.
I've come to like the "pic on the right" layout, myself. With a little effort, you can change your arrangement of details to suit the game you're applying to.
I will add a plea for people not to put sblocks in tables like that. Stuff in tables is vertically centred, so when you expand a spoiler block the table is stretched and the other columns shift up and down in a very ugly manner.
I will typically use a table to place a picture next to some basic info just as TanaNari has done, but I suggest then putting the statblocks underneath (so similar to Veradux's but with TanaNari's info rather than a statblock). If I have a whole thread (rather than a single post in an all-apps thread) I will typically use some headings with maybe HR tags (for horizonal lines) rather than spoiler blocks, since I think they look a bit nicer (but in a single post, the spoiler blocks take up less space).
So, for example, I tend to use something like this (though I frequently move bits and bobs around - maybe put a quote in the middle at the top or under the table, or under the picture, or add a statblock, whatever; depends on the game and the aspect ratio of the picture and stuff):

When I applied to CinnamonCoffee's game advert, it was requested to have a handsome sheet. I knew someone would have a good looking sheet I could use, so I went hunting. I found one I liked and altered it some. Also used graphic headers rather than the text ones.
