A common issue new users run into when creating a new game (https://gamersplane.com/games/new/) is the inability to Create the game after 'filling in all the details'. "The Create button does nothing."
This is (almost?) always due to not having added a character sheet type.
To the uninitiated it sure looks like they have selected the sheet they want and the distinction between selecting and adding (with the [+] button) is not obvious.

• I propose we think about having the New Game page check if any Character Sheets have been added and, if not, add the currently selected one (Custom, by default) for them when the users presses the Create button.
This removes this common confusion. They can always go back and change this setting later, if they actually wanted a different sheet.
