Code:
        proc
            NewCharacterSetup()
                var/A = input("What would you like to do this game?","Choice") as anything in list("Play","Watch")
                switch(A)
                    if("Play")
                        var/Form/Newbie/frm = new()
                        var/mob/Player/P = new()
                        P.name = src.key
                        src.client.mob = P
                        frm.DisplayForm()
                    if("Watch")
                        var/mob/Watcher/W = new()
                        W.name = src.key
                        src.client.mob = W
                    else del(src)

Using Dantom's HTMLlib frm.DisplayForm() should display the newbie form. It does not do so. Do you know why?

You're abusing usr. By default, Form/DisplayForm() takes usr as its argument.

If you want it to work, then call it like so:

if("Play")
    var/Form/Newbie/frm = new()
    var/mob/Player/P = new()
    P.name = src.key
    src.client.mob = P
    frm.DisplayForm(P)

So I'm abusing usr? They are the ones that made it do that... I'm just following the tutorial that comes with it.

Why not just skip learning HTMLLib and use Topic() and raw HTML instead?

Because the whole point of a lib is to make life easier and faster. Plug and play.
