Honestly I could see you two throwing different letters of foam in dif. styles at each other

Almost anything would be an improvement. Nothing that’s larger or too much more widely spaced than Warmonger to begin with, I’d assume, to cut down on the amount of physical tinkering we have to do after things are converted.

a font that's also dyslexic friendly would be good. I know there are specific types, but not what they are off the top of my head

Keep in mind, we can change the fonts programmatically, so using another across all sheets is a download and few clicks.
Some of our other choices:
....why will these not copy paste

Looks good to me. Something else I thought of: if we’re changing fonts anyway, something that’s noted to be dyslexic friendly would also be good.

I assume the fields being in weird places is something that gets remedied later in the process?
We are going to have buttons that allow print outs of different things, like large size for example.

The fields are just sitting there until we pick a font. XD

Are we keeping Minion Pro for the body of the sheet or looking to change that as well?
Nope. No more paid anything.

That’s actually the one I think I’d be more worried about since if the replacement is much bigger a lot of sheets might need trimmed down or edited (I can definitely point to a few where I had to shrink the size to 8 to fit some especially huge powers)
We also have about 1/3 MORE space for powers than we ever had before.

I sometimes don't see plurk responses from other people until I close and reopen a plurk.

Also as a two cents in - Third font choice for the header would I think read the best for dyslexic users out of the three because it looks like it's pedigree is very similar to comic sans.

My only concern would be that the font doesn't have lowercase glyphs which not only might make it difficult to read, but if it's an online LARP and there's someone vision impaired who is playing it might cause a screenreader issue

Fist font is my top but I dont have dyslexia issues. I just think its the prettiest lol
There will be different sheet fonts entirely for those with Dyslexia and Large Font needs
coveredinbees: That isn't how fonts work when it comes to screen readers.
Even if it looks all uppercase, unless it's literally written like that, a screen reader reads it proper.
Fun fact - even if CSS makes it uppercase, it doesn't matter to a screen reader!
