I'm not sure if this belongs here, or on the Homebrew board.
I get a kick out of making (and then looking at) a nicely layed out
character sheet.
Been working with some homebrew games.
I'ld like to see what character sheets people have created,
preferably with link to the original where appropriate:
Primarchs Diceless (http://oxinabox.ucc.asn.au/files/GameDesignProducts/PrimarchsDicelessCharacterSheet.pdf) a conversion a friend is doing to use Amberdiceless to play as 40K Space Marine Primarchs.
Amber Diceless (Original) (http://oxinabox.ucc.asn.au/files/RPG/Amber_-_Diceless_RPG_csheet.pdf)
A New Dusk (http://oxinabox.ucc.asn.au/files/GameDesignProducts/NewDuskCharacterSheet.pdf) - Mistborn Adventure Game, fun-suppliment for Alloy of Law. (Think Steampunk/western fantasy)
Mistborn adventure game(Original) (http://www.crafty-games.com/files/File/Mistborn_Character_Sheet.pdf)
I'ld also like to chat about techniques and programs:
The Primarchs Sheet was one of my first attempts at making a sheet,
it was done in Inkscape.
Getting even line spacing everywhere was a not fun.
I particularly like the 40K-esq font (Casablance Antique),
earlier versions we in some boring Serif, I feel the font adds a good feel to it.
(For interest, the earlier version is here (http://oxinabox.ucc.asn.au/files/GameDesignProducts/draft_Primarchs.svg))
I kept the "Phone" field the original Amber Sheets had, (it is so unique).
Still not entirely sure what it was for.
The New Dusk character sheet was made in InDesign,
I ended up creating a character style that did underlines, and then using
The Tabs control to set indents for the top matter,
I cool trick I discovered when doing traits is that Shift+Tab, tabs to the right margin of the text box - making it easy to have all the lines line up
(even when you couldn't get to that position with spaces)
